Global Variables
I agree with the solution from @olivierw.
For a personal project, I have a table called Config and I load the content using filter, so I can have access anywhere in my project.
The filter lib/filter/configFilter.php:
<?php
class configFilter extends sfFilter
{
public function execute ($filterChain)
{
// get the config
$configs = Doctrine_Core::getTable('Config')>findAll();
foreach($configs as $config)
{
sfConfig::set('my_config_'.$config->getName(), $config->getContent());
}
// execute next filter
$filterChain->execute();
}
}
In apps/frontend/config/filters.yml:
rendering: ~
configFilter:
class: configFilter
security: ~
Now you can access any information using:
sfConfig::get('my_config_key');
The schema.yml for my Config table:
Config:
columns:
name: { type: string(255) }
content: { type: string(1000) }
