PHP and tips

Libraries to scaffold admin area with Zend Framework (v1.8 – v1.11), composed by

• Abstract Action Controller with all the logic for CRUD actions (Create, Read, Update, Delete). There are protected method to define post/pre actions. Actions can be completely redefined by inheritance. Read Action implements filter to paginate, order, search data (all kept via GET)
• Abstract Zend Form that reads the table structure and select the forms with automatic selection of the best Element depending on the database field. White/Black list options. Element completely customizable by inheritance. Used in Create/Update actions.
• Abstract Zend DbTable, that implement a simple interface to communicate with other components
• Helpers, Interfaces and some Ajax components (not revised for demo application) to make dropdown for 1/N relationships, ajaxN-N relationships, javascript autocomplete for 1-N (to revise) and other common form elements
• Command line tool to create all the instances
• SVN branch with all the classes using namespaces (PHP 5.3)

Notes: unit testing and full documentation are not planned yet.  To use these libraries, checkout the  SVN (public readable access) that contains the full working demo application with the Crud libraries (see section below to see it working online). Read comments inside classes.
Last updates are added to the branch (namespace version) and latest changes will not merged in the future.
Support for these libraries is not provided. Use at your own risk. New BSD licence (see below). Contact me if you want to collaborate, or click here to donate and support the development.

QUICKSTART

[ Under construction. ]

Checkout SVN, Import sql files from /data/db, add ZF libs under /library, customize application.ini, create virtualhost, open it and go to /admin to see the sample application.
Libraries are under /library/Crud. Main classes: abstract CRUD controller, abstract model, abstract form, abstract order form, abstract filter form. Each CRUD action works on ONE data model (Zend Db used, but any other data source supported by implementing interfaces).
Script view index for each controller should be customized, If not found, the actions is rendered inside the controller (same for all actions).
