Tired of template undefined field warnings in PhpStorm?

May 13th, 2014

Code inspection is an awesome feature of PhpStorm. Remember the #gotofail SSL Security Bug? Wouldn’t happen to you with PhpStorm because it warns about unreachable statements. And a lot more.

If however, you get too many warnings, you stop paying attention to them. Especially if you know they’re bogus. One of them is the undefined field warning for template variable assignments in Nette presenter.

Seen this a million times?

Referenced field is not found in subject class.
Note: Check is not performed on objects of type “stdClass” or derived.

Configuring Nette in Neon

February 18th, 2013

I bet you didn’t know it but Nette’s internal behaviour can be configured quite extensively in config.neon. Default form error messages, switching on/off debugger panels, changing mailer to use SMTP instead of mail() and so on. All of this can be set up in PHP but keeping configuration out of your code helps making it easier to read. Do have a look, it has a great potential. As usually, the documentation is pretty bare and it’s up to us to discover the whole truth. This post contains some additional information that I scavenged in forums or discovered myself.

August 13th, 2012

Many of us send sensitive information over Skype chat in order to prevent a third party from reading it. Think login credentials for example. What you may not know is that Skype is set by default to store chat history on your hard disk. Nothing wrong with it if it weren’t in plain text!

Dynamic snippets for repeated forms

April 11th, 2012

At the time of this writing, Nette lacks a good support for dynamic snippets. You can define them wrapped in a static snippet but you can’t invalidate them individually (unless they each belong to a different control, I think). You can only invalidate the static parent snippet which means you receive all its dynamic children snippets in the payload.

If you defined only a few snippets with small amount of data in each then no big deal. If however, you have a pageful of forms, each form containing a snippet that you want updated upon the parent form submission then you have to resort to tricks. For instance, you don’t want a message “Saved” displayed in each row/form in a product administration table.
