Setting Page Titles

Setting in action:

$this->getResponse()->setTitle($shopInfo->getName());

Retrieving in template:

$sf_response->getTitle();

Query and Call Database

$result = Doctrine::getTable('Shop')->findBySlug($name);

 public function findBySlug($name)
 {
  return Doctrine::getTable('Shop')
     ->createQuery('s')
     ->where('s.slug = ?', $name)
     ->fetchOne();
 }

Cross-Application Login

Scenario: You have two apps, frontend and backend. And you want to have only one single login page for frontend and backend applications, either you login from frontend or you login from backend.

Solution: Set both frontend and backend's factories to something like this:

all:
  user:
    class: myUser
    param:
      timeout:         18000
      logging:         %SF_LOGGING_ENABLED%
      use_flash:       true
      default_culture: %SF_DEFAULT_CULTURE%

  storage:
    class: sfSessionStorage
    param:
      session_name: application_name

Using Fixture

If you don't want the task to remove existing data in the database,
use the [--append|COMMENT] option:

[./symfony doctrine:data-load --append|INFO]

Using th native MySQL ENUM type in Symfony 1.4 and Doctrine

from: http://imanpage.com/code/using-th-native-mysql-enum-type-symfony-14-and-doctrine

To use the native MySQL ENUM type in Symfony and Doctrine you will have to update your "project/config/databases.yml" and add the "use_native_enum" directive under "attributes" i.e: 

      attributes:      
         use_native_enum: true
         use_dql_callbacks: true
         default_table_collate: utf8_general_ci
         default_table_charset: utf8

Full Version

all:
  doctrine:
    class: sfDoctrineDatabase
    param:
      dsn: 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydb_prod'
      username: root
      password: 12345
      attributes:                
         use_native_enum: true
         use_dql_callbacks: true
         default_table_collate: utf8_general_ci
         default_table_charset: utf8

Getting Raw Data from Action to Template

Thanks Stéphane of Google Groups

In a template, you can call $sf_data->getRaw('myActionProperty');
after init it like $this->myActionProperty = array('hey'=>'hoy'); inside an
action.
So you'll get your raw object : unescaped.
