I have been playing with doctrine2 + ZF setup for the last couple of days.
One of the things I still can't figure out is the large array collection assosicaitons. For example let's say we have an entity called Post and each post can have many comments.
<?php
/**
* @Entity
*/
class Post
{
/**
* @OneToMany(targetEntity="Comment", mappedBy="post")
*/
protected $comments;
}
?>
Now this will load all comments if I do
$post->comments
But what if there are, say 10000 comments for this particular post? Then all will be loaded which is not good. And as far as I know slice/pagination will not be available until doctrine 2.1.
Can someone advice me how I can paginate comments? With DQL maybe? if DQL, where do you implement this?Do I create a getComments method in the Post entity and do the DQL there?
Thanks
Bill
I'm using pagination from https://github.com/beberlei/DoctrineExtensions, it works great, at least for me.
Edit: Not sure this will help you, but here's how I did my pagination
Controller
// Create the query
$qb = $this->_em->createQueryBuilder();
$qb->select('p')
->from('Identiti_Entities_Pengguna', 'p');
// Sorting
$qb->addOrderBy('p.' . $input->sort, $input->dir);
$q = $qb->getQuery();
// Pagination
$itemPerPage = 100;
$records = new Zend_Paginator(
new DoctrineExtensions\Paginate\PaginationAdapter($q));
$records->setCurrentPageNumber($input->page)
->setItemCountPerPage($itemPerPage)
->setPageRange(10);
$this->view->records = $records;
View
<?
echo $this->paginationControl($this->records,
'Sliding',
'partials/pagination.phtml');
?>
pagination.html
<?php if ($this->pageCount): ?>
<ul id="pagination-digg">
<li class="previous"><a href="#">Pages: <?=$this->pageCount?></a></li>
<!-- Previous page link -->
<?php if (isset($this->previous)): ?>
<li class="previous"><a href="<?php echo $this->url(array('page' => $this->previous)); ?>">
< Previous
</a></li>
<?php else: ?>
<li class="previous-off">< Previous</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Numbered page links -->
<?php foreach ($this->pagesInRange as $page): ?>
<?php if ($page != $this->current): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $this->url(array('page' => $page)); ?>">
<?php echo $page; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php else: ?>
<li class="active"><?php echo $page; ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- Next page link -->
<?php if (isset($this->next)): ?>
<li class="next">
<a href="<?php echo $this->url(array('page' => $this->next)); ?>">
Next >
</a>
</li>
<?php else: ?>
<li class="next-off">Next ></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
You may consider implementing Zend_Paginator_Adapter_Interface
.

Doctrine 2.2 now has a Paginator class. See this link for how to use it with Zend_Framework:
