Unbuntu uses xdebug 2.04 which doesn't support file_link_format yet :-/

  • apps/frontend/config/settings.yml
    • all:
        .settings:
          file_link_format:       editor:%f:%l
  • Xdebug:
    • sudo vi /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini
      • xdebug.file_link_format = editor:%f:%l
    • sudo apache2ctl restart

    • about:config
      • Click right -> new Boolean:
        • network.protocol-handler.expose.editor

ullright setup

  • Team -> Subversion -> Checkout
  • URL: http://bigfish.ull.at/svn/ullright
  • Target directory: /var/www/ullright
  • Wait for checkout....
  • Create new project
    • From existing sources
    • Select directory /var/www/ullright

Cool Stuff

  • CTRL-G returns to the last edit location - handy when "F3"ing through the class hierachy
    • Eclipse has the same functionality. CTRL-Q
  • No problems with "outdated" - need to refresh

Not so cool compared to eclipse

  • Open file tabs -> in eclipse the tabs of the last edited files are always visible. Not so in NetBeans: they are ordered in the sequence when they where opened
  • Subversion:
    • Revert: not possible to view a diff in the dialog directly
    • Commit: complicated to de-select files from commit - no tree view (de-select a whole file tree)

What's not working yet

  • In the action -> go to the template  (Mentioned in the symfony netbeans videocast)
