As before, we'll start in Bootstrap.php by registering the helper:
protected function _initMsgLogger()
{
require_once('My/Action/Helper/MsgLogger.php');
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper(new My_Action_Helper_MsgLogger());
// make sure flash messager is also initialized if this is used
$this->_initMessenger();
}resources.log.stream.writerName = "Stream"
resources.log.stream.writerParams.stream = BASE_PATH "/data/logs/application.log"
resources.log.stream.writerParams.mode = "a"
resources.log.stream.filterName = "Priority"
resources.log.stream.filterParams.priority = 6The priority filter will stop logging for messages above a certain priority. The built-in log priorities for Zend_Framework are DEBUG (7), INFO (6), NOTICE (5), WARN (4), CRIT (2), ALERT (1), and EMERG (0). So setting the priority filter to 6 will stop debug messages and allow everything else.
Now for the meat of the MsgLogger. Action Helpers have a couple of hooks where they can be inserted into the dispatch cycle, preDispatch() and postDispatch(). For our logger, we want to log any messages that were added to the FlashMessenger during the action, so we'll use the postDispatch() hook.
class My_Action_Helper_MsgLogger extends Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract {
public function getLog()
{
$bootstrap = $this->getActionController()->getInvokeArg('bootstrap');
if (!$bootstrap->hasPluginResource('Log')) {
return false;
}
$log = $bootstrap->getResource('Log');
return $log;
}
public function postDispatch()
{
if ($log = $this->getLog()) {
$request = $this->getRequest();
$log->debug($request->controller . ', ' . $request->action);
if ($flashMessenger = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getExistingHelper('FlashMessenger')) {
$messages = $flashMessenger->getMessages()
+ $flashMessenger->getCurrentMessages();
foreach ($messages as $message) {
$log->info($message);
}
}
}
}
}As is, this logger will log all the messages from the Flash Messenger as "info" and will additionally log the calling controller/action as "debug" (which means they will not be logged based on our current priority settings, but could be turned on for debugging). However, if you were using status codes on the FlashMessenger messages, then you could additionally log the message priority to the system log. We are using the INFO priority by calling $logger->info("msg"). However, we could use $logger->log("msg", Zend_Log::INFO) instead. So imagine we were using flashMessenger->addMessage(array(Zend_Log::ERR=>"error message")) when creating our messages. Then we could log something like this:
foreach $messages as $msgtype=>$message {
$info = $request->controller . ', ' . $request->action . ', ' . $message;
$logger->log($info, $msgtype);
}
