Global setup of doctrine plugin for symfony1.1.

Here is a small tutorial to make available your doctrine plugin for all of your projects residing on the shared server.

I have ubuntu 8.04 LTS box. Default symfony installation is located under “/usr/share/php/symfony/”. Locate whatever your installation directory of symfony and type following commands:

$ cd /usr/share/php/symfony/
$ svn co \
http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfDoctrinePlugin/branches/1.1 \
plugins/sfDoctrinePlugin
$ cd plugins/sfDoctrinePlugin/config
$ vi autoload.yml

do following modifications

#path:       <?php echo realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../lib') . "\n"; ?>
path:       %SF_SYMFONY_LIB_DIR%/plugins/sfDoctrinePlugin/lib

Then save that file and create new file “config.php” with the following script

set_include_path(
  get_include_path().
  PATH_SEPARATOR.dirname(__FILE__).
  '/../lib/'.
  PATH_SEPARATOR.sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir')
  );

Now doctrine plugin will be available for all of your projects located on same shared server.
