Switched to Git

Finally decided to port all my work in my subversion repostiry to Git... A couple of tips that may be helpful for new starters:

1. In order to do an svn export, simply execute:

git archive | tar -x -C /path/to/dir

2. To revert local edits, run:

git checkout filename

3. The concept of remotes was confusing at the beginning. Think of them as shortcuts to remote repositories. So instead of typing complex URL's, all you need to do is

git push remote branch
git pull remote branch

once a remote is added.

3. Enjoy your merges :)

Securing Symfony2 REST services with FOSOAuthServerBundle

Overview In my previous article, I wrote about setting up a Symfony2 REST service using FOSRestBundle. However, this REST service was behind a firewall protected by a generic form_login provider. Not really ideal if you wish to open your REST API to other applications. So in this article, I will try to explain how to set up FOSOAuthServerBundle to protect your REST API methods using OAuth2. Before we start getting into the gritty details, it is a good idea to have a look at the official OAuth2 documentation . Let's begin... FOSOAuthServerBundle Installation You have to install v1.1.0 of FOSOAuthServerBundle if you are using Symfony 2.0.x. If not, see the docs . First, add the following entries to your deps file: [FOSOAuthServerBundle] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSOAuthServerBundle.git target=bundles/FOS/OAuthServerBundle version=origin/1.1.x [oauth2-php] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/oauth2-php.git Run the vendors script to install these...

Unexpected token "name" of value "if" ("end of statement block" expected) in "WebProfilerBundle:Collector:logger.html.twig"

Encountered this WebProfilerBundle error message when I ran the bin/vendors script to update my Symfony2 bundles. Make sure your deps file is up to date; you need to pay special attention to your version values. In this case, update your twig version to v1.2.0 as illustrated below: [twig] git=http://github.com/fabpot/Twig.git version=v1.2.0 Run the vendors script to update your bundle and the error message should disappear. You can get the most up to date deps file from the symfony-standard repository located at: https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/blob/master/deps

Symfony2 SecurityBundle and FOSUserBundle integration: How does it work?

Overview A couple of days ago, I realized I needed to add some new functionality to the login process. Specifically, I needed to track all previous login attempts. Not knowing anything about the new Symfony2 SecurityBundle, I had to go through the underlying code to understand what was going on. In the process, I think got a basic idea about how the new SecurityBundle interacts with FOSUserBundle. Configuration I have a basic security configuration as illustrated below. app/config/security.yml security: encoders: Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User: plaintext role_hierarchy: ROLE_ADMIN: ROLE_USER ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: ROLE_ADMIN providers: fos_userbundle: id: fos_user.user_manager firewalls: main: pattern: .* form_login: provider: fos_userbundle check_path: /user/login_check login_path: /user/login lo...
