Django as a framework is a neat little package. There are very few files (compared to Rails) and it's got a clean structure. The fact that you can plug and unplug apps between different projects is an extremely nifty feature. At the same time, Ruby's hacking ability is unparalleled. It's complete object-orientedness makes it more expressive and fun. To cut the story short, is there a Django-like or Django inspired framework on Ruby? If not, would be possible for an implementation of Django on Ruby? What would be the challenges? If one were to create a Django-inspired framework for Ruby, how

I have a form created with Symfony forms. and in the template i have this selectbox, displayed on the page with the render method. <?php echo $form['field']->render() ?> is it possible to set the selected option of this select box? Or does this have to be done in the class that creates this form? There is the creation of the field done: public function configure() { $this->widgetSchema['field'] = new sfWidgetFormSelect( array("choices" => array('1' => 'test1','2' => 'test2') ) ); } yes, sure — you should have set corresponding form value — either via bind() , either via widget's default option

I am currently trying to use our (basic) Symfony 2 app by accessing app.php. However, whenever I try to access app.php, I get an error 500. I have checked the logs, the production log is empty. I have tried the assetic entry in the config file, but to no avail. Anyone else who has any ideas on how to fix this? This is a very basic application (for now), with just some routing changes and a new controller. The most part is html (as a test), so it can't be the php we've written so far. --edit: I currently do not have the documentroot pointing to the /web directory, but I don't have admin rights

I am using symfony 1.0.6. In my site I have two URLs. http://newe4s.com/news/articles/view/033/job-news-and-information and http://newe4s.com/news/articles/view/033/job-news-and-information/graduate/Connections-help-graduates-get-jobs Now, all the new articles are using same layout and both above links get same data from database. Google is reporting duplication of contents since it is getting multiple URLs for same content. When I searched for a solution, I got that using "canonical" structure fixes this issue which require <link rel="canonical" href="http://newe4s.com/news/articles/view/033

In a template I display the day and month of a specific date : <div class="jour"><?php echo date('d',strtotime($content->getCreatedAt())) ?></div> <div class="mois"><?php echo date('M',strtotime($content->getCreatedAt())) ?></div> This works fine, problem is the month name is in English. Where do I specify that I want the month names in another locale, French for instance ? Symfony has a format_date helper among the Date helpers that is i18n-aware. The formats are unfortunately badly documented, see this link for a hint on them. default_culture only applies for the symfony internationalisation

There’s no setTemplate() for components! I know but maybe there is another way to do it ? (The question seems to be about a php framework: http://www.symfony-project.org/ ) There is no setTemplate method on sfComponents. You essentially have 3 options: Name your component the same as the partial you'd like the component to render. This may not be possible if you have multiple components you'd like to share the same template. Create a partial with the same name of your component and include the partial there. That is, if you had a component with an executeFoo() method that you wanted to render
