Correct way to serialize data outside of an entity using JMSSerializerBundle

Correct way to serialize data outside of an entity using JMSSerializerBundle

I have an entity, which returns all the data I want (from the entity,
anyway). I also want to return some configuration parameters as well, if I
was in a service, controller or anywhere where I had access to the
container I'd simply do:
$this->container->getParameter('my.setting');
However, I obviously don't have (and rightfully so) access to the
container within an entity.
So my question is: how can I add my parameter to the output of the json
that JMSSerializerBundle generates?

Having problems with cocos2d and menus?

Having problems with cocos2d and menus?

I'm having a problem with xcode when making a menu when using the cocos2d
templates. I put this code in:
if( (self=[super init]) ) {
CCMenuItemImage *item = [CCMenuItemImage
itemWithxNormalImage:@"bug.png" selectedImage:@"bug.png" target:self
selector:@selector(doThis:)];
CCMenu *menu = [CCMenu menuWithItems:item, nil];
[self addChild:menu];
}
return self;
-(void)doThis:(id)sender{}
I put the if statement in the -(id) init method in helloworldlayer.m. If
anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated. I'm having the problem
where everything builds correctly, but the picture doesn't show. I have it
copied to my resources, but when I build it, no picture is shown.

Exception on calling getAdapter()

Exception on calling getAdapter()

LinkAdapter is a class which extends the ArrayAdapter.
private static List<LinkData> linkDataList = new ArrayList<LinkData>();
private LinkAdapter la;
la = new LinkAdapter(someLinkDataitmes, getActivity());
ListView lv = (ListView) v.findViewById(R.id.urls);
lv.setAdapter(la);
public class LinkData {
private String name, image, description;
public LinkData(String name, String image, String description){
this.name = name;
this.image=image;
this.description=description;
}
}
Now I later want to update my listview,
ListView lv = (ListView) v.findViewById(R.id.urls);
LinkAdapter mListAdapter = ((LinkAdapter)lv.getAdapter()); // this line is
giving an error.
mListAdapter.add(new LinkData(name_val, image_val, description_val));
mListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
But the code is not working(giving a NullPointerException)
Searched a lot on the internet, but could not find a specific answer to my
problem.

Yii - updating a model and using the model to echo data in the view

Yii - updating a model and using the model to echo data in the view

I have the following code for updating a Yii model:
public function actionSettings($id) {
if (!isset($_POST['save_hostname']) && isset($_POST['Camera']) &&
isset($_POST['Camera']['hostname'])) {
$_POST['Camera']['hostname'] = '';
}
$model = $this->loadModel($id);
$model->setScenario('frontend');
$this->performAjaxValidation($model);
if (isset($_POST['Camera'])) {
$model->attributes = $_POST['Camera'];
unset($model->api_password);
if ($model->save()) {
Yii::app()->user->setFlash('success', "Camera settings has
been saved!");
} else {
Yii::app()->user->setFlash('error', "Unable to save camera
settings!");
}
}
$this->render('settings', array(
'model' => $model,
));
}
This works fine, except in my model I have code like this:
<h1>Settings For: <?php echo CHtml::encode($model->name); ?></h1>
The problem is that, even when the user input fails validation, the h1 tag
is having bad input echoed out into it. If the input fails the validation,
the h1 attribute should stay the same.
I can 'reset' the $model variable to what is in the database before the
view is returned, but this then means I don't get any error feedback /
validation failed messages.
Is my only option to have 2 models, one used for handling the form and the
other for sending data to the page? Or does someone have a more elegant
solution?
