Usage

Projects

Create a new project in Netbeans, Select the PHP Category and choose Kohana 3 Project

Be sure to pull for latest updates git pull

Then download the latest core and modules git submodule init git submodule update

Templates

Create a new PHP Project or open an existing one. Browse to where you want the new file and click the New File button. Select one of the new templates under the Kohana 3.x Category.

• Be sure to use all lowercase letters with new file names. The Template will then captitalize the name.
• If creating a controller within a subdirectory, best to name the file the entire directory structure first so the template populates correctly. Then Refactor the file to rename it.

Example:

Directory is \controller\admin\page, name the file admin_page. This will then populate the controller template correctly. Then rename the file to just "admin".

Template variables

Netbeans provides support for the FreeMarker Template Engine which supports variables. These variables can be set in the User.properties file in Template Manager. To open Template Manager, click Tools | Templates menu item.

User.properties is located under User Configuration Properties in the Templates tree structure.

Variables used in the templates:

These are specified in the Project's properties

	project.name
	project.encoding

A default user variable is provided to Netbeans by the operating system, but it should probably be modified in User.properties to include more details

	user=Jeremy Fowler <[email protected]>

These can be specified in User.properties

	project.description=Kohana PHP Project
	project.keywords=Kohana,PHP
	project.copyright=(c) Jeremy Fowler
	project.license=http://creativecommons.org/licenses/BSD/

Unique values can be assigned to projects by appending the project name on the end.

Example Kohana PHP Project named MyProject:

	project.description.MyProject=My Unique Project Description
	project.keywords.MyProject=MyProject,Kohana,PHP
	project.copyright.MyProject=(c) MyProject Team
	project.license.MyProject=http://myproject.org/license.php
