Exception when running blog compile

[RWOverdijk]

I've added this module to composer.json and installed. Then, I created data/posts and data/blog. Both have writing and reading access for www. I've copied the sample-post.php to data/posts and then ran php ./public/index.php blog compile. The following was my output:

rwoverdijk$ php ./public/index.php blog compile

This is 7 months old. Doubt that it will ever be looked at :) I've started working on my own blog a while back. There seems to be no interest, bit it's pretty far along already.

[e-belair]

ok, i have the same problem and worse, the blogs files are not written into public/blog ....
So, glad for you :) i'll follow your project too ^^

[weierophinney]

I have looked at it; I just haven't been able to reproduce it. :-/

[e-belair]

Did you try with a fresh install ?
This is what i did:
cloning the project (via composer)
copied config from doc into autoload/
create data/posts/test-de-post.php (copied from sample)
and executed php public/index.php blog compile -a

[e-belair]

i almost found the problem :)
I deleted the config i pasted from doc and just renamed data/post to data/blog
then i made php public/index.php blog compile -a
Everything working fine now!
So i think the sample config into the doc contain error(s)

[jackdpeterson]

I'm able to reproduce the same issue.
Here's how I got there:

1. Create a new Zend Framework 2 project in Zend Studio
2. Download module as zip file from github. Extract into modules/PhlyBlog
3. create directories data/{blog|posts}
4. download PhlyCommon module.
5. paste in configuration from readme.md + add in an extra ")" on line 200 (in readme.md) to fix the parse error into config/autoload/module.blog.config.global.php.
6. Add PhlyBlog and PhlyCommon to config/application.config.php
7. copy sample-post.php into data/blog AND data/posts as per Manuscle's attempt above.
8. deploy to local Zend Server.
9. update composer and run composer install (I didn't fiddle with my local php includes yet)
10. run cmd (Windows 8) and CD to the zend server application path && php public/index.php blog compile -a
    Output:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\data\apps\http__default__\0\SomeBlogProject\1.0.0>php public/index.php blog compile -a

[weierophinney]

@jackdpeterson Did you try the changes @manuscle reported? It doesn't sound like it...

[weierophinney]

@RWOverdijk I'm re-opening, as, at the minimum, there is a documentation issue that needs to be resolved.

[RWOverdijk]

Fair enough :)

[e-belair]

@weierophinney is the 'entries_url_template', by_year_url_template, by_month_url_template and by_day_url_template are really used into your module?

[jackdpeterson]

@weierophinney , @manuscle I've tried manuscle's updated readme example, as well as deleting the autoload configuration file and renaming the directory as well. Also re-attempted installing using composer method. No such luck.

When I do a var_dump of the $e->getEvent() in Compiler\Listener\Archives->onCompileEnd() it's saying NULL instead of finding any posts.

[e-belair]

@jackdpeterson be carefull, the end of the sample example (the 'di' part ) is optional.
Can you try without any config file? It should work by using the PlyBlog module config.

[jackdpeterson]

My Solution! ^/ ...

1. re-run composer's install (looks like I had something wonky on my end)
2. set configuration as follows:

return array(
'blog' => array(
'posts_path' => 'content/posts/',
),

);

1. re-run.

[e-belair]

good :)

[pavkatar]

I had the problem too and the solution was to change the author in the post entity, because it was not validated by the authorFilter. Also I've fork the project with a little update, which will throw an exception if the post is invalid and will show you where is the problem :) https://github.com/pavkatar/PhlyBlog/commits?author=pavkatar

[weierophinney]

Can you submit that as a pull request, please?

any one have any idea that what's wrong here.
Thanks.

[Solutions 👍 ]
I have to add prepareCompilerView inside the Module.php and write custom view strategy for it.

[istian]

having same issue.
used module.config.php as is, run php public/index.php blog compile -a.

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to iterator_to_array() must implement interface Traversable, null given in C:\Users\foobar\Development\php\myZf2Test\vendor\phly\phly-blog\src\PhlyBlog\Compiler\Listener\Archives.php on line 28

also, running php public/index.php blog compile with or without flags gives this:

Compiling and sorting entries..........................................................................................................................[ DONE ]

but then, no directory written in public folder.

[vrkansagara]

Hey @istian can you look into the blog post file if there is any html entities have not closed properly than fix it first.

[vrkansagara]
