Invenzzia... in English - Projects

Invenzzia goes to github

So far, our projects have been hosted with Subversion control system installed on our own servers. While it is quite convenient and we are not limited by resources, it causes some problems with authentication and simplifying access for users that wish to help us developing our projects. In the last days, we have been discussing on that and decided to switch to Git. In the near future, all the projects will migrate to Github which will become our official hosting platform. I hope it will make the collaboration much easier.

Note that one of our projects has already been ported to Github - TypeFriendly. The others, including OPL will migrate in the next weeks, as this requires from us some effort and time. Basically, we have some scripts that help us publishing new versions and they must be rewritten from SVN to Git.

Zend Framework port is available!

I've recently uploaded the first revision of Open Power Libs port for Zend Framework to our SVN repositories and it is available there for public audience. The port is not completed yet, but the basic functionality is present and seems to work. I encourage everyone to test it and submit suggestions or noticed bugs. The package includes a test ZF application, and the source code is well-commented. I'll put some extra information on wiki soon, as well as set up the "real" user manual.

How to obtain?

If you have a SVN client, you can download it like any other Invenzzia project:

svn co http://svn.invenzzia.org/svn/opl4zf/trunk

Note that you must also download Zend Framework and OPL.

Zend Framework port for OPL

Zyx — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 09:04:00 +0100

One of the goals in the OPL project is not only to provide a set of great libraries, but also teach the popular PHP software, how to use them. Currently, lots of applications are designed with the help of frameworks which often provide their own solutions. It is obvious that the users do not want to deal with all the integration stuff, especially if the library is in fact a replacement for a whole part of the framework. This situation perfectly suits to Open Power Template that is rather a presentation layer framework than just a simple template engine. Currently, the programmers may already use OPT in Kohana Framework thanks to the efforts of Damian Nowak who prepared a nice port. And now, we would like the announcement of the Zend Framework port that will be released soon.

The ZF port for OPL will be released somewhere in the next week - it is developed as a standalone part of a real-world application and works as a replacement for the certain view elements in ZF and the extension of the rest in other cases. The details have already been published on our wiki: OPT Port for Zend Framework and if you are interested, feel free to read it.
