This week, Form and Validator were the most active components on the Symfony2 master branch. First, the CollectionValidator introduced new Optional and Required constraints. Second, the validation of form children was made configurable, meaning that child forms now aren't validated anymore by default (bc-break change).

New plugins

  • asJqueryTreePropelManager: (no description)
  • sfCpGrid: is a javascript based backend for Symfony. It loads the recordset from the db via ajax, can sort it on the fly, it checks periodically if there is something new, it allows filtering and search, and to have custom buttons and related actions.

Updated plugins

  • sfGearman:
    • allow to namespaces function for mutualized gearmand
  • apostrophe:
    • slight change in linkage on aImage placeholders
    • fixed bug with placeholder clicker box that looks for the choose button url in the correct place for both slots in areas and singleton slots
    • smart slideshow passes new 'clickToSelect => false' option to placeholder, which prevents a 404 if you click the placeholder area on a smart slideshow
    • factored out the slideshow slot code that relinks the related media items into a separate method so it can be easily called from overrides
  • apostropheBlog:
    • slot help text doesn't need to get output to logged out visitors
    • changed the check to editor privileges
