Spending lunching time to look for a cheap and reiliable SMTP cloud service, I sum up this post so it may be helpful for others. To me, SES price is most reasonable, but you will have no support and implement the tracking yourself.

Here is a way to allow you to extend Symfony 2 Form using tagged Service. I think it's the correct way but not yet documented on the book. Symfony 2 is still brand new and the document is not completed yet, I found out this solution while diving into Symfony Form component :(

Well, the code is quite simple. You need to create a service tagged with form.type_extension with alias value is the type of Form element you want to override. Then make the service inherits from Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractTypeExtension, implement the getExtendedType method to return the same value with alias and then override the buildForm method to do whatever you want with the Form. Here is an example to illustrate how to add more field to a form

services.yml

services:
  demo.form_extension:
    class: Demo\MyBundle\Form\Extension\MyFormExtension
    tags:
      - {name: form.type_extension, alias: form}

FormExtension.php

namespace Demo\MyBundle\Form\Extension;
 
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormEvents;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractTypeExtension;
 
class MyFormExtension extends AbstractTypeExtension
{
	public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
	{
		// TODO: add some check for the form you want to use here
		$data = $options['data'];
 
		// extend the form here, you can also use custom validator
		$builder->add('new_item', 'text');
 
		$builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::POST_BIND, function($event) {
			$form = $event->getForm();
 
			// do whatever you want here, such as additional data binding
		});
	}
 
	public function getExtendedType()
	{
		return 'form';
	}
}

Note: Symfony 2 also has form.extension, you can use it to load form type or extension by PHP. Check Symfony/Component/Form/Extension/Csrf namespace for example.

I just released ChromeSniffer 0.2.9. This is a minor update for chromesniffer after few months. This release fix broken icons on linux, improve YUI, Wordpress, Moodle detection. The following applications are added to detection list:

• OpenCart
• Sitefinity
• Shibboleth
• SiteCatalyst
• Coremetrics
• Twitter and Buzz buttons
• Google Loader
• HeadJS
• RightJS
• Humans TXT

This release is also the first release driven by community. Most of the commits are contributed by community. Many thanks to onlineamateur, kevtufc and nb.

There is no roadmap for 0.2.10 yet, but I am thinking about to extends ChromeSniffer to support to detect additional information of the site too, such as detect for site microfotmat or RDF. CSS framework will be considered too. The goal for chromesniffer will be a tool for developer to have an overview of the technology on the site. If you have any idea, feel free to send me your idea via the contact form.

I just finished my presentation today's afternoon about GBA  project, so this post will be the last post about my Gameboy Advance project. Not too much time pass by since the last post, so not much things were done too. I manage to get a lot of stuff done, but the whole game is not yet finished. There is no princess and no counter for the coins you collect. But anyway, it is a lot of work for a single developer like me. I share the source code of the project in case you need some references.

So the subject is over, I two weeks and a few days to clean up working mess and prepare for the next one.

Cheers,
