How do you load config settings from the database in Symfony2? - settings

I have a number of settings that are currently in the config.yml file.
Going forward I want to be able to develop an interface where administrators will be able to update these settings, so I want to be able to manage these settings through the database.
How would I be able to load these settings from the database into Symfony2 and where and when would I load them?
Cheers

There's a cookbook article that explains roughly how to do this (albeit briefly), in reference to loading in settings externally from Drupal. The basic idea is to do something like this in your config (example is yml):
# app/config/config.yml
imports:
- { resource: parameters.php }
then in parameters.php you can do whatever you need to to get your config, and set it as follows:
$container->setParameter('my.db.parameter', $value);
(taken from the cookbook, slightly modified).

Take a look at the UnifikDatabaseConfigBundle. It creates a database structure that enable configuration of Symfony parameters straight from the database.

Laravel configuration usage for different servers in pure php file

I am new in Laravel and want to know such problem
I am running an web application on several server using Laravel.
But I have encountered with an issue.
When there is modification for the project, I need to sync with git on several servers.
But it has different settings for each server (eg: DB name, DB password...)
I have set it manually because I couldn't use .env or configuration file since the file is just pure php file.
The issue I want to solve is how can I get Laravel configuration data from pure PHP file(not controller or whatever).
It will be thankful if someone teach me solution.
You asked:
how can I get Laravel configuration data from pure PHP file
The answer would be this:
You just make some file in config/ folder of laravel app (or use the existing file like config/app.php)
You make an array of your key value pairs
<?php
return [
'some_key' => 'some_value',
...
and you simply call it with this code where ever you need it:
config('config_file.key');
for example
config('app.name');
would give you Laravel by default.

Setting Projects to Private by Default

I have my SQ server running in Kubernetes (via Tectonic) and all is going well. We need to tighten the security of our SQ installation, so we have LDAP up and working. We are trying to get all of the projects to be Private by default (which we can do Via the GUI for each project).
However, trying to flip the switch in the GUI to make all new projects Private works, until you refresh the page, then it reverts back to Public.
I have been searching for a way to set this up via the sonar.properties file or sonar-project.properties file (first if the preferred). The server.properties file we use is encrypted as a secret (because the LDAP settings exposes a service account password) and I would like to keep settings there.
I have combed through documentation, posts, discussions and all that, but have not been able to find out what the value=key combination is.
Has anyone seen what this is or if we can even accomplish that? Is it a setting stored in the database? I'm kind of at a loss on this one.
Thanks!
In SonarQube 7.x you can find the public/private setting when you browse to Administration - Projects - Management. This only works for new projects. For existing projects you can use the "Edit the permissions" option on the same page and switch between public and private.
You can also use the web_api to achieve the same results. You can find the documentation when you add "/web_api/api/projects" after the sonarqube URL:
Example of the POST request body: project=MyProject&visibility=private

How to add a profile to JHipster

So JHipster comes by default with the 'dev' and 'prod' profiles. I need to add another profile called 'hive' because I want to try and connect that profile to a HIVE database .. through an URL Connection String like this one:
"jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default"
I am a begginer with JHipster so I really don't know where to find the documentation if there is any. And so far I haven't seen any post about creating a new profile. I don't know what files to add, what things to change in order to use that profile rather than the 'dev' or 'prod' one, etc. I can see I have to create a new file called src/main/resources/config/application-hive.yml and that a lot of the code will go there ... but still I don't where is all the information about how to set all of those properties.
Thank you very much.
JHipster can't support Hive because Liquibase does not support it and I don't think JPA/Hibernate supports it either.

See parameters that are overridden from TeamCity template

Is there a way to see TeamCity configurations that override parameter defined in template?
I don't think so. What's worked for me in the past was to search through the project files on the filesystem. If you have many build configs, this will be faster than opening each of them in the GUI.
Search for something like this:
<param name="myParamInheritedFromTemplate" value="myOverrideValue" />
in <TeamCity data directory>/config/projects/**/*.xml. If it's absent in an XML file, that build config just inherits the value. If it's present, it overrides it.
It's hacky but it's quick.
There is a feature request https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-21212, please vote. Current workaround are to either search the raw XML files with the settings stored under TeamCity Data Directory on the server as #sferencik suggested, or use REST API to get settings of all the build configurations and search for the parameter there. Let me know if you need help on any of these.

Editing velocity template of Liferay changes not showing or takes a while

I'm currently editing my portal_normal.vm (server/tomcat/webapps/mytheme-theme/templates) testing if I can write on the file and see it on my browser. I tried putting a test comment "<!-- test -->" just to see if I can really write on the file. So I refreshed the file and hope I can see the comment I've added, but there we're none. So I continued refreshing (ctrl+r),\ and viewing the source code for almost an twenty minutes. After a while when I tried viewing it again it reflected in my source code. So I thought it was cached by either Liferay or my browser.
So I tried tweaking the comment adding version on it ("<!-- test v2 -->"), hoping to see changes. I checked it on another browser and the comment didn't update or include my added version. So I think Liferay is responsible for the issue.
this is what my portal-ext.properties contain:
auth.token.check.enabled=false
# Database settings
jdbc.default.jndi.name=jdbc/LiferayPool
#For removing captch
captcha.check.portal.create_account=false
session.enable.phishing.protection=false
default.regular.theme.id=my_site_WAR_my_theme
#Delete cookies while deleting session
session.enable.persistent.cookies=false
#redirecting null problem.
redirect.url.security.mode=mysite.com
journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=
admin.email.from.name=Market.Travel Team
admin.email.from.address=admin#mysite.com
# Added because of the Error - No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here
hibernate.current_session_context_class=thread
session.enable.url.with.session.id=false
and my portal-developer.properties
theme.css.fast.load=false
theme.images.fast.load=false
javascript.fast.load=true
javascript.log.enabled=true
layout.template.cache.enabled=false
browser.launcher.url=
combo.check.timestamp=true
freemarker.engine.cache.storage=soft:1
freemarker.engine.modification.check.interval=0
openoffice.cache.enabled=false
velocity.engine.resource.manager.cache.enabled=false
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.cache.CacheFilter=false
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.themepreview.ThemePreviewFilter=true
Addition: When I tried editing the css files I can see the changes fast. Just one reload the the changes appear. I think it is just in my velocity template that take some time or there's something wrong.
Liferay version: Liferay Portal Community Edition 6.0.6 CE
Thank You!
There is really no need to define your own portal-developer.properties. By adding -Dexternal-properties=portal-developer.properties to your JAVA_OPTS in tomcat/bin/setenv.(sh|bat) Liferay will use it's default developer settings, which are almost identical to what you have provided. However, I do not believe this is contributes to (or could resolve) your problem. More details here.
The developer properties do allow you to make live changes to the templates provided you are changing the right file. Due to the default context.xml Liferay provides to the deployed webapps, the webapps are copied/cached in tomcat/temp/{id}-webapp-name. This means if you change the template in webapp/mytheme then it may take tomcat a while to pick up on the change, if it notices the change at all (this will depend on the tomcat configuration). On the other hand, if you make a change in temp/1-mytheme it will show up immediately. Editing the files in the temp folder is probably not ideal, so...
How to fix this: (no specific order)
Prevent Tomcat from using the temp directory for your theme. Create a context.xml file for your theme.
<Context cachingAllowed="false"/>
This file should be placed in the META-INF folder of your
theme. If you are using the Liferay auto-deploy feature the
context.xml file may be clobbered, here, and here. If this
is the case you will need to find a work around that best suits your
needs, such as modifying the context.xml after the theme is deployed.
If you are using the Liferay Plugin-SDK the you can follow the fast plugin development guide for setting up your development environment.
