zf2 translate validators messages with variables - zend-framework2

I have custom message like this:
'options' => array(
'min' => $min,
'max' => $date->format('Y-m-d'),
'inclusive' => true,
'messages' => array(
Between::NOT_BETWEEN => "The input is not between '%min%' and '%max%', inclusively",
),
),
I put this string in .po file and generate .mo, but message won't translate. For all other messages without variables it's working fine.

You can read in the ZF2 official documentation on how to do this.
The translation files for validators are located at /resources/languages. You should simply attach a translator to Zend\Validator\AbstractValidator using these resource files or in your case your own file for your custom messages.
$validator->setDefaultTranslator($translator);
EDIT
I misinterpreted your question, here an edit
Can you not translate the message before binding the variables like this:
$translator = ...translator...
'options' => array(
'min' => $min,
'max' => $date->format('Y-m-d'),
'inclusive' => true,
'messages' => array(
Between::NOT_BETWEEN => $translator->translate(
"The input is not between '%min%' and '%max%', inclusively"
),
),
),

It would have been nice, if you had given more explanation.
Generally If string contains variables , You have to replace them with string formatters.
In your case msgid "The input is not between %s and %s"
I hope it should solve your problem.

Adding parameters to URL in ZF2

I am trying to construct url which looks like this:
abc.com/folder?user_id=1&category=v
Followed the suggestion given in this link:
How can you add query parameters in the ZF2 url view helper
Initially, it throws up this error
Query route deprecated as of ZF 2.1.4; use the "query" option of the HTTP router\'s assembling method instead
Following suggestion, I used similar to
$name = 'index/article';
$params = ['article_id' => $articleId];
$options = [
'query' => ['param' => 'value'],
];
$this->url($name, $params, $options);
Now, I am getting syntax error saying,
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /var/www/test/module/Dashboard/view/dashboard/dashboard/product.phtml on line 3
My module.config.php is configured like this:
'browse_test_case' => array(
'type' => 'Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/browse-case[/:productId]',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Test\Controller\Browse',
'action' => 'browse-test-case',
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => array(
'query' => array(
'type' => 'Query',
),
),
),
Any Idea, please help!
Your url view helper call is wrong. First parameter is the name of a defined route, second parameter is an array with your route parameters. Your array syntax should also be correct. e.g.
array("param1" => "value1", "param2" => "value2")
In your example the correct url view helper call should be something like this:
$this->url('browse_test_case', array('productId' => '1'));
...in which "1" could be an database table row identifier, for example.
The Query child-route in your route definition, allows you to use also other url paramaters, than specified within the route. But each of these child-routes start with "/browse-case[/:productId]".
There you find the reference example of ZF2:

How to tell the Zend validator to use the only one validation message in any way

I've added the EmailAddress validator to my form element and when I'm trying to submit something like test, it shows me 2 errors:
* The input does not match against pattern '/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*$/'
* The input is not a valid email address. Use the basic forma local-part#hostname
But I don't want to fright my users with such a terrible validation information. Of course I can redeclare the message for each validation error, but the perfect for me would be to set the only one error message like The input is not a valid email address. Use the basic forma local-part#hostname.
I can't believe that there is no way in zf2 to do that.
I found this code work for me. I hope this works for you too.
'validators' => array(
array (
'name' => 'Regex',
'options' => array(
'pattern'=>'/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*$/',
'messages' => array(
Regex::NOT_MATCH => 'Please provide a valid email address.',
),
),
'break_chain_on_failure' => true
),
array(
'name' => 'EmailAddress',
'options' => array(
'messages' => array(
EmailAddress::INVALID_FORMAT => 'Please provide a valid email address.',
EmailAddress::DOT_ATOM => '',
EmailAddress::INVALID_FORMAT => '',
EmailAddress::INVALID_LOCAL_PART => '',
EmailAddress::QUOTED_STRING => '',
)
),
),
),

ServiceManager returns same Instance while shared = false

I defined an alias for MyClass that I want to be retrievable via ServiceManager, see module.config.php example below. When I retrieve an instance of MyClass in my controller via $this->serviceLocator->get('MyClass') I get a new instane the first time, and then the same instance. Do I miss something in my configuration or should I file a bug?
module.config.php
return array(
'di' => array(
'instance' => array(
'alias' => array(
'MyClass' => 'Some\Namespace\MyClass',
),
'MyClass' => array(
'shared' => false,
),
),
),
);
As my edit was not accepted, I will answer this question myself. In the end I moved to ServiceManager thanks to Stoyan Dimov who pushed me into the right direction. Unfortunately his answer was not correct. I had to use invokables instead of alias. Here is the correct example:
return array(
'invokables' => array(
'MyClass' => 'Some\Namespace\MyClass',
),
'shared' => array(
'MyClass' => false,
),
);
When I was using alias instead of invokables I got an exception that no service with that name can be is available, which means that aliasdoes not work, there has to be an existing service defined by invokables, factories, services or abstract_factories.
Following the previous example I could use:
...
'alias' => array(
'SomethingDifferent' => 'MyClass',
),
...
With a call to $this->serviceLocator->get('SomethingDifferent')I would receive an instance of Some\Namespace\MyClass.
I don't know about the DI but the ServiceManager expects your to specify shared (false) in the root of the configuration array for the manager. Something like this:
'invokables' => array( // Note that you can use also 'factories', 'abstract_factories', etc.
'Some\Namespace\MyClass' => 'Some\Namespace\MyClass',
),
'alias' => array(
'MyClass' => 'Some\Namespace\MyClass',
),
'shared' => array(
'MyClass' => false,
),
See the ServiceManager example configuration on the manual
Hope this helps :)

How to put translator in Zend2 form

Iam new guy to Zend framework and currently Iam working on Zend2...I want to ask about Translator usage in Zend forms....If i want to use translator i directly using for labels in form view i.e.form_view.php like
$this->formLabel()->setTranslator($translator, 'date_of_birth');
But I want to add the translator at the form only i.e.in src/my_module/Form/UserForm.php
like
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'date_of_birth',
'attributes' => array(
'type' => 'text',
'id' => 'date_of_birth',
),
'options' => array(
'label' => 'DateOfBirth',
), //Here there is any option to put translator
));
Please help me...any answer would be help for me like I asked
Thanks in advance
You don't really need to do that. Since the the Translator that is set up using the factory-key translator will automatically be injected into the Form.
The best approach (in my opinion) is to make extensive use of the translator text_domain:
'translator' => array(
'locale' => 'de_DE',
'translation_file_patterns' => array(
array(
'type' => 'phparray',
'base_dir' => __DIR__ . '/../language',
'pattern' => '%s.php',
'text_domain' => 'MyModuleTextDomain'
),
),
),
With this setup, the Files of your Module will automatically be inserted into the default TranslatorService which every Zend\Form knows of.
So ultimately all you have to do is make the ViewHelpers know of the TextDomain that you are using. And this is done in the following manner:
$this->formLabel()->setTranslatorTextDomain('MyModuleTextDomain');
$this->formButton()->setTranslatorTextDomain('MyModuleTextDomain');
$this->formElementErrors()->setTranslatorTextDomain('MyModuleTextDomain');
You need to do this once inside your respective view.phtml before(!) using the ViewHelpers like $this->formElement($element) or $this->formCollection($form)
And that's really all there is to it. I recall having seen a discussion somewhere about making it easier to pass along Text-Domain-Data, but i can't find it right now. So things may get a little easier in the future ;) For now, 3 lines are all that's needed though!
above answer is quite unnecessary ... as your translator was added automatically to zend form for rendering form labels and ....
only use this code in your module config :
'translator' => array(
'locale' => 'en_US',
'translation_file_patterns' => array(
array(
'type' => 'phparray',
'base_dir' => __DIR__ . '/../language',
'pattern' => '%s.php',
),
),
),
if u use the correct view helpers for rendering form elements (or whole form) it will automatically translated
This is not a recommended approach because forms are translated automatically if you have a translator configured (which you do if you are using the Skeleton Application). However, since you asked how to use the translator directly within your form, I will show you how you can do it. Please carefully consider if you really want to do this, as I cannot imagine a use case where it would be necessary.
To do exactly what you were asking, you can inject the translator into your form. You can do this either in your controller or in a factory. I will be using a factory in this example because it is more DRY.
// In your module's config file
'service_manager' => array(
'factories' => array(
'YourModule\Form\YourForm' => function($sm) {
$translator = $sm->get('Translator');
return new \YourModule\Form\YourForm($translator);
},
),
),
Then in your form class, you can do like this:
namespace YourModule\Form;
class RegisterForm extends \Zend\Form\Form {
public function __construct($translator) {
// Do something
$translated_string = $translator->translate('string to translate');
}
}
Then in your controller, you can do like this:
$your_form = $this->servicelocator->get('YourModule\Form\YourForm');
Or if you don't want to use the factory, you can choose to not add it and do like this instead:
$your_form = new \YourModule\Form\YourForm($this->servicelocator->get('Translator'));
I would recommend going with the factory, though.

Zend Framework 2 (ZF2) dynamic locale

I am looking for a way to add translations to my ZF2 application, using globals in my URL.
Is there anyway to do this for the whole application at once?
A typpical URL would look like this: http://domain.com/en_GB/user/index
The first part (en_GB) should be used to show the correct translation.
Besides that, it would be nice, if it is possible to set this router part optional.
So, if I should go to http://domain.com/user/index (without the locale part) to my application, it should automatically take the browser locale.
I hope I am clear enough, if any additions are needed to this question, feel free to ask.
Thanx in advance
#DrBeza,
Thank you for your answer. I don't know if this is the correct way, but I created the next solution:
in /config/global.php I added this part
'translator' => array(
'locale' => 'nl_NL',
'translation_file_patterns' => array(
array(
'type' => 'phpArray',
'base_dir' => __DIR__ . '/../../language',
'pattern' => '%s.php',
),
),
),
in /module/[modulename]/config/module.config.php I added this part to set the first part of the URL containing the locale
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'user' => array(
'options' => array(
'route' => '[/:lang]/user[/:action][/:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'lang' => '([a-z]{2})+(_)+([A-Z]{2})',
),
),
),
),
),
in /config/local.php I added this code to fetch the locale from the URL:
http://domain.com/[locale][module][controller]
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI_PATH'] = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
$segment = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI_PATH']);
And I added this part to load the locale dynamicly:
return array(
'translator' => array(
'locale' => $segment[1],
);
I would suggest extending the Segment route class and adding in the optional locale constraint and segment part if missing. Call the optional variable something application wide such as 'locale'.
Then create a 'route' event in the main module bootstrap, this event will fire once a route has been matched. The callback function that is fired will have access to the RouteMatch object through the passed event, letting you gain access to the 'locale' value. Then you can do some checks and set the application locale.
