NOTE: If you’re looking for the Doctrine 2 modules for K3 see this post.

Download the module here.

I’ve previously written a module for Kohana 3 for Doctrine, as well as drivers for Kohana’s Auth and Session modules, however I’ve finally had the time to merge the three and fix up some longstanding issues present with them; namely the folder structure and lack of PDO support. To make my life a little easier I’ve moved the project to Google Code too.

You can find the project here. It’s got Doctrine 1.23 already in there, you should just be able to drop it in and add it to your bootstrap file. It also includes sample schema and data fixtures for the kohana auth and session modules – they can be found in /models/fixtures.

Good luck!

Update Feb 22 2012: 1.0.8 is out. Now works with and requires Doctrine 2.2. Thanks to Markus for his patch.

Since releasing my original Doctrine 2 module for Kohana 3, I’ve done a bit of reshuffling of folders and added some additional features from my Doctrine 1.2 module. Due to the extent of modifications, I decided to put up a new post with some added information on how to use the new module.

Features:

  • Doctrine 2 integration (obviously)
  • Auth and Session drivers
  • /doctrine controller to load your schema files and generate the DB tables
  • Works in Kohana 3.0 and 3.1

For the impatient ones out there, here’s the download link:
Doctrine 2 Module for Kohana 3

 

As always, install the module (remembering to add it to your bootstrap file) and download the latest copy of Doctrine 2 from here, placing into the /modules/doctrine2/classes/vendor/doctrine folder. It should be noted that my module is tailored to the tarball download and not the SVN or Github ones which have a slightly different folder structure.

UPDATE 28 Dec 2010: This module is now defunct. Please instead use the Better Doctrine 2 Module for Kohana 3.

For those of you who don’t already know, Doctrine 2 stable was just released. It features what is essentially a complete rewrite and paradigm shift from the 1.2 version and comes with a laundry list of improvements. You can read the official blog post here. To celebrate the occasion I decided to do up a quick Kohana 3 module. Info & specz below:

Firstly the configuration. You’ll need the following files & folders:
/doctrine/Entities (These are essentially (to my meager knowledge) your model files.)
/doctrine/Proxies
/modules/doctrine/classes/doctrine
/modules/doctrine/init.php

Download the latest copy of Doctrine 2 from here and extract into the /modules/doctrine/classes/doctrine folder.

Here’s /modules/doctrine/init.php

<?php
	use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager,
		Doctrine\ORM\Configuration;
 
	class Doctrine
	{
		private static $_instance = null;
		private $_application_mode = 'development';
		private $_em = array();
 
		/*
		 * Rename $conn_name to whatever you want your default DB connection to be
		 */
		public static function em( $conn_name = 'default' )
		{
			if ( self::$_instance === null )
				self::$_instance = new Doctrine();
 
			return isset(self::$_instance->em[ $conn_name ])
				? self::$_instance->em[ $conn_name ]
				: reset(self::$_instance->_em);
		}
 
		public function __construct()
		{
			require __DIR__.'/classes/doctrine/Doctrine/Common/ClassLoader.php';
 
			$classLoader = new \Doctrine\Common\ClassLoader('Doctrine', __DIR__.'/classes/doctrine');
			$classLoader->register();
			//This allows Doctrine-CLI tool & YAML mapping driver
			$classLoader = new \Doctrine\Common\ClassLoader('Symfony', __DIR__.'/classes/doctrine/Doctrine');
			$classLoader->register();
			//Load entities
			$classLoader = new \Doctrine\Common\ClassLoader('Entities', APPPATH.'doctrine');
			$classLoader->register();
 
			//Set up caching method
			$cache = $this->_application_mode == 'development'
				? new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache
				: new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache;
 
			$config = new Configuration;
			$config->setMetadataCacheImpl( $cache );
			$driver = $config->newDefaultAnnotationDriver( APPPATH.'doctrine/Entities' );
			$config->setMetadataDriverImpl( $driver );
			$config->setQueryCacheImpl( $cache );
 
			$config->setProxyDir( APPPATH.'doctrine/Proxies' );
			$config->setProxyNamespace('Proxies');
			$config->setAutoGenerateProxyClasses( $this->_application_mode == 'development' );
 
			$dbconfs = Kohana::config('database');
 
			foreach ( $dbconfs as $conn_name => $dbconf )
				$this->_em[ $conn_name ] = EntityManager::create(array(
					'dbname' 	=> $dbconf['connection']['database'],
					'user' 		=> $dbconf['connection']['username'],
					'password' 	=> $dbconf['connection']['password'],
					'host' 		=> $dbconf['connection']['hostname'],
					'driver' 	=> 'pdo_mysql',
				), $config);
		}
	}

Once the module is enabled, you can access Doctrine from anywhere with the following code:

Doctrine::em()

The module supports multiple databases and uses the Kohana database config file for connection details. To grab any specific database use the following (where connection_name is the name specified in the config file)

Doctrine::em('connection_name')

Download the complete module here.

Hope this helps.

I’ve been working with the Zend_Gdata tools lately to perform various Google Calendar operations. One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that there are no tutorials on how to cache the auth request between pages. Caching the authentication would result in one less expensive operation to an external server upon each new file request (The retrieving of a new, working Zend_Gdata_HTTPClient object). Figuring out how to accomplish this seemingly simple task proved a little more difficult than I’d have liked and ironically ended up being very simple 🙂

Here’s my second Doctrine 1.2 driver for Kohana 3, this time for the Session class. I wrote this because I don’t particularly like the Kohana Database or ORM classes (that or I just don’t want to take the time to learn them!) and it’s released under a creative commons v3 licence So here it is. Enjoy!

Kohana 3 Doctrine Session Driver 1.02 See here for details

UPDATE 22 Oct 2010: Bugfix release – should actually work now 🙂
UPDATE 03 Jan 2011: Fixed rare bug in DB cleaning function.
UPDATE 21 Feb 2011: New module at a new home! See here for details

It’s probably become apparent by now that I like Doctrine. It’s quick, it’s easy and it works with everything. So here’s a Doctrine driver for the Kohana Auth module, allowing you to use Doctrine instead of Kohanas integrated ORM.

Download: Kohana Auth Doctrine Driver 1.03 here

Installation instructions:
Unzip the module to your /modules folder.
Enable the module by adding

'auth_doctrine' => MODPATH.'auth_doctrine',  // Doctrine driver for Auth module

to the modules array in the following file:
Kohana 3:/bootstrap.php
Kohana 2: /config/config.php

UPDATE Jul 15 2010: Fixed incorrect user login bug. Please redownload
UPDATE Dec 22 2010: Fixed ‘remember’ session bug.
UPDATE Jan 3 2011: Fixed bug if calling Auth::instance()->logged_in(‘role_name’). Thanks to freenode #doctrine user SirFunk for this one – good catch!
Update Feb 21 2011: New module at a new home! See here for details

Update Feb 21 2011: New module at a new home! See here for details

Upon the release of Kohana 3, one of the first things I wanted to do was install Doctrine. The following is a short tutorial on how to do; and keeping with Kohanas modular style, it will be placed in its own reusable module. Time to begin.

Create the following files/folder:
/modules/doctrine
/modules/doctrine/init.php
/modules/doctrine/classes
/modules/doctrine/classes/doctrine

Inside /modules/doctrine/classes/doctrine drop the official latest build (see here) of Doctrine such that Doctrines CHANGELOG, COPYRIGHT etc files etc are inside.

Enter the following into init.php. Note – this may not be the optimal bootstrap file – feel free to tweak to your hearts content.
