MVC/CMS/PEAR

Hello, In order to improv my CMS based on Pear & MVC design pattern, I ask you what are the best pear package to integrate in this kind of architecture and what do you think about it : This is the MVC schema : Framework : (englobe all MVC execution environnement : log, config, debug, ...) : PEAR Packages : PEAR::Config (?) Controler : 1- FrontController : receive the HTTP Request (script with GET/POST parameters) 2- InterceptingFilter : Manage & check : 1 Session, 2 Auth, 3 Permission (each are optionnal) 3- Action : perform action like adding, modify, select, delete, preview record ; change order, page, filter on the Model Action are big controller : create DataObject, perform business method, call the renderer method, etc...) PEAR Packages : PEAR::Auth Model : Business method included in sub-class of DB_Dataobject If SQL query are required to do advanced query : get DB object from DB_Dataobject PEAR Packages : PEAR::DB_Dataobject, PEAR::DB View (here for HTML output) : 1- TransfertObject : Object which are used to contain the data from the model in a "usefull" strucure : HTML_Quickform Object (maybe HTML_Quickform_Element Object), Structure_Datagrid (or HTML_Pager & HTML_Table), HTML_TreeMenu (?), Structure_Tree (???), ... 2- RendererObject : Transform TransfertObject into HTML, Manage template, Generate/Record HTML Page, ... (Maybe this have to be divided into 2 : "RendererObject" for rendering TransfertObject to HTML & "PageRenderer" for HTML Page generation) PEAR Packages : HTML_Quickform, Structure_Datagrid, HTML_TreeMenu An other question : Where and How do you store the structure of the table and website pages ? XML or Database or other ? I store the website structure in database (Treestructure, Meta, Title, ...) I store the business table description in XML : ListingOptions (title fileds, order fileds), Fields labels, field Type (number, text, image, file, date, ...), Table Link, FormOptions (validation rules, postProcessOptions like generate thumbsnail, encrypt password) Thanks a lot, [Sylvain PAPET] Développeur Web www.com-ocean.com +33 4 90 66 48 82
