Hi there!
I’d like to share with this pretty simple script with you, hope it will save you few minutes.
You guys who familiar with this Symfony plugin for assets management probably know that it uses sfThumbnail plugin for making thumbnails of image assets.
sfThumbnail has configuration in app.yml and it looks like:
all:
sfAssetsLibrary:
upload_dir: media # Asset library root, under the web/ dir
check_type: false # Set to true if you want to restrict the type of assets
types: ['image'] # Accepted asset types if check_type is true
thumbnail_dir: thumbnail # Where the image thumbnails are stored
use_ImageMagick: false # Set to true if you have the convert command
thumbnails: # Name and size (in pixels) of the thumbnails created at upload
tiny: # Displayed in the list page
width: 70
height: 70
small: # Displayed in the list page
width: 100
height: 100
shave: false # Cut strips to constraint the image size
middle:
width: 200
height: 200
large: # Displayed in the details page
width: 450
height: 450
original: # Displayed in the details page
width: 800
height: 800
search_pager_size: 20 # Number of resuts per page
mass_upload_size: 5 # Number of file upload controls displayed in the mass upload form
This is cool but when you have your project up and running and decided to add new type of thumbnail (for instance name it ‘big’)
big:
width: 400
height: 400

Few weeks ago I started learning Grails framework.
For me this is new world but it smells like Symfony sometimes – almost the same approaches with domain (Symfony: model) management, CRUD generator (Symfony: Admin generator) here excites as much as in Symfony.
“Leaving” PHP world for Groovy-Grails-Java was quite hard on start and I still stuck in researches. But I have smart enough guru in the stretched hand distance, please let me introduce Alex, The Grails Guru.
If you are Symfony developer you’d love this framework. You’ll see there similar things you’ve used to use in Symfony:
BUT started developing Grails applications you’ll get all Java development advantages:
On other hand you can try work with Grails on Ubuntu Linux, it is faster then Windows machines.
I’ll be posting my achievements and research results here while learning this amazing tool.

Name is: OpenGeo
Last Saturday 07/26/08 me and my friend decided to create simple online service for Ukrainian market.
Idea was in the follwoing – create free of charge open source database of geographical locations of all IP addresses of Ukraine.
Every visitor has possibility to see his IP address and set his Ukrainial location with help of drop downs.
Possible stakeholders of this service are:
- e-commerce services like auctions, online malls
it would be easy to find goods near to you with it, for example find motorbike in 50km radius.
- social services (social networks)
Also find people near to your location and get in contact
- and so on, connected to location definition
So we decided to start development of this project with Symfony (actually I enforced him to do that
).
Two days ago we finished first stage and now project in “locations-collection” stage.
Please take a look on www.opengeo.org.ua
The next step will be development of analysis module and user interface improvements, for example make location tag-cloud instead of select-boxes.
Feel free to say your opinion in comments to this post – it will be very useful!
