Reload jqGrid

Today I was looking for the method to reload the JSON data of jqGrid.

With firebug I selected some element the grid was in with:

$('.ui-jqgrid', '#tab-ínfo').trigger('reloadGrid');

I chose .ui-jqgrid because that was one of the classes of the grid container. But this doesn’t work! The grid table tag is the element that has the actual grid ID. In order to get the generic code above work, we have to add the table element.

$('.ui-jqgrid table', '#tab-ínfo').trigger('reloadGrid');

And now it works as expected!

Google Maps API V3 – Traffic toggle button

With the Google Maps API V3 it’s very easy to make the built-in traffic overlay visible.

This is possible with the following code:

var options = {     zoom: myDefaultZoom,     center: new google.maps.LatLng(myLatitude, myLongitude),     mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-container'), options); var trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer(); trafficLayer.setMap(map);

Too bad that there is no simple line of code to enable a built-in traffic toggle control (Buttons on the map are called controls). So I created the piece of code More >

Doctrine 2 – Use foreign key as field in DQL

In doctrine 2 there are by default no foreign key fields a ID. For example your “product” entity might have a “shop” property, but no “shopId” property.

To get all the products that belong to a shop you would always have to make a join like this:

/* @var $em \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager */ $result = $em->createQuery("SELECT p FROM My\Entity\Product p     JOIN p.shop s WHERE s.id = :shopId" )->setParameter('shopId', 1)  ->getOneOrNullResult();

But in certain situations it would be nice to use the foreign key column directly, in this case “shopId”. That More >

Drupal 7 – Show one teaser image of multiple added images

Since Drupal 7 the CCK module is for a large part integrated into the Drupal core. You can very easily create and add new fields to a certain node type. One of the available field types is “field_image”. You can set the setting that multiple images are allowed.

If you create a view that displays all the node teasers, the images will be visible there. That all images are appended is nice, but actually only for the full node and not the teaser. So if you only want one image to show in the teaser you have to override the More >

Drupal 7 – Multi language front page

It’s not possible in Drupal 7 to define a front page per language with the core or i18n module or something. However with a little bit of code it’s still not so hard to do.

Create a custom module “alter” for example. Create the folder in “sites/all/modules/alter”. Create “alter.info”

name = Alter description = "This module performs several minor changes" package = Custom version = 7.x-dev core = 7.x

And create a file with the name “alter.module”. And put the following code in it with your More >

PIE stands for “Progressive Internet Explorer”. With PIE you don’t have to wait any longer to use the CSS3 border-radius property. A lot of browser already support it out of the box, but Internet Explorer only since version 9.

To also have support in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 use PIE! There are two options for using it. With a htc behaviour file or with JavaScript.

Doctrine 2 i18n translatable extension

Doctrine 2 doesn’t have an i18n (internationalization) behaviour in the core anymore like Doctrine 1 had.

But luckily for us, Gediminas Morkevičius build the translatable behavior extension for Doctrine 2. Translatable behavior offers a very handy solution for translating specific record fields in diferent languages. Further more, it loads the translations automatically for a locale currently used, which can be set to a translatable listener on it’s initialization or later for other cases through the Entity itself.

Set attribute on select option with Zend_Form

Today I needed to disable a few options in a status select box when building a Zend Framework application. Luckily this is very easy to do, but you just have to know how.

Make sure you set all available options first:

$element->setMultiOptions($options);

Below that line you can set an attribute on some options. For example, if you want to disable the first, second, and fith option in the select box:

$element->setAttrib('disable', array(1, 2, 5));

And you’re done!

Create Git bare / shared remote repository

This blog post will describe how to setup a central repository where everybody pulls from and pushes to. This is actually the default work flow in Subversion.

Git has a naming convention that repositories that you share with others have a “.git” suffix. Local repositories have just a name. To create a git bare (also called shared remote) repository do the following on the command line. I assume you already have a “git” user on your server.

su git
mkdir example.git
chmod 770 example.git
cd example.git
umask 007
git init --bare
git config core.sharedrepository 1
git config receive.denynonfastforwards true

Zend Framework – Add custom resource type to autoloader

by Pieter Vogelaar in

This week I wanted to created the folder “application/grids/” to store my grids in. For example the path to the grid is “application/grids/Product.php”. The code inside this PHP file:

class Application_Grid_Product { }

You will now get the error “Fatal error: Class ‘Application_Grid_Product’ not found”. The new path must be added to the Zend Autoloader in order to load the required classes. Your bootstrap must look like this:

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap {     protected function _initLoaderResources()     {
