Un bug semble s’être glissé dans le formulaire d’administration du plugin symfony sfGuardUser.

“The item has not been saved due to some errors.” (when you try to save the form)

The fix :

It would seem the cause of the issue is on line 44 of the sfGuardUserAdmin form class.

Removing that solves the problem.

How to mark required / mandatories fields in a form based on sfForm ? (solution based on Dark-IT post, adapted and tested on Symfony 1.2)
Add in your lib/form directory a class name : RegistrationForm.php (you can name it as you want of course)

class RegistrationForm extends sfForm
{
public function configure()
{
// …
}

public function render($attributes = array())
{
$formatterObj = $this->widgetSchema->getFormFormatter();
if(!is_null($formatterObj)) {
$formatterObj->setValidatorSchema($this->getValidatorSchema());
}
return parent::render($attributes);
}

public function __toString()
{
try
{
return $this->renderUsing(’Registration’);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
self::setToStringException($e);
// we return a simple Exception message in case the form framework is used out of symfony.
return ‘Exception: ‘.$e->getMessage();
}
}
}

Add another class in your lib/form directory : sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterRegistration.php

class sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterRegistration extends sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatter
{
protected
$rowFormat = “\n

%label% %error%%field%%help%%hidden_fields%”,
$requiredTemplate= ‘

*’,
$validatorSchema = null;/**
* Generates the label name for the given field name.
*
* @param  string $name  The field name
* @return string The label name
*/
public function generateLabelName($name)
{
$label = parent::generateLabelName($name);

$fields = $this->validatorSchema->getFields();
if($fields[$name] != null) {
$field = $fields[$name];
if($field->hasOption(’required’) && $field->getOption(’required’)) {
$label .= $this->requiredTemplate;
}
}

return $label;

}

public function setValidatorSchema(sfValidatorSchema $validatorSchema)
{
$this->validatorSchema = $validatorSchema;
}
}

Now, you can use this extended form in your form. Simply change the extends directive with :

class MyGreatForm extends RegistrationForm
{
// …
}

Of course, you have to update your css, for example :

.requiredFormField
{
color: red;
}

Maybe you have some repport due, where few lines of code are needed, but Open Office Writer doesn’t handle .c source file, neither .py, .m
The solution:

sudo apt-get install highlight

gedit “~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Highlight and open with OOO”

#!/bin/bash
#
highlight -o /tmp/highlight_temp_file.html $*
openoffice /tmp/highlight_temp_file.html
rm /tmp/highlight_temp_file.html

chmod +c “~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Highlight and open with OOO”

And now, any right clic on a file, and it’s opened in OOO with nice colors.

Here again we are facing a crappy hardware with homebrewed drivers, not integrated: sunday morning, let’s compile something.
That’s a translated how to from here

Unplug the webcam

to check if any module is loaded, and remove it

So let’s download the drivers’ sources:

and plug the webcam, something close to this should appears:

kernel: [324189.288878] ov51x_jpeg: USB OV519 video device found
kernel: [324189.656291] ov51x_jpeg: Sensor is an OV7648
kernel: [324189.758541] ov51x_jpeg: Device at usb-0000:00:1d.1-2 registered to minor 1

(control+c to quit)

and the webcam shoud show up

If not, check the rights:

The first one is good, but not the second webcam, only video access, so to correct it: create a simlink at the module initialisation:

And add this line:

Restart the service

now check it works fine:

Now you end up with a perfectly working webcam, it’s time to check out the new cross plateform opensource webcam instant messaging:a

(And to drop Skype)

Juste pour comparaison:

ARCHOS 405 2Go

France: 130€

Allemagne: 70€

Autre exemple:

Sandisk Sansa Clip 8 Go 

France: 90€

Allemagne: 45€

Ca fait réfléchir, surtout que les frais de port sont de 5€.

Un “équivalent” à Hpricot en ruby ?
