Project Outline is a superb feature of Zend Studio for navigating fast through your project and classes.
However once in a while a problem occurs with this project outline when checking out a new project from a SVN repository.

Normally you would browse your repository by using SVN Repositories in the Show View option under Window. Checking out the trunk with Find/Check Out As gives you the option to check out as a PHP Project. Which will enable your Project Outline.

However for some reason I could not get a specific project with the Projecet Outline. Then i checked the .project file created by Zend Studio and noticed 2 differenced.

First the buildspec tag was totally empty. Meaning Zend Studio would not use the Incremental Project Builder and not use the Validation Manager Wrapper. (Does nothing for your project outline)

Second was the natures tag. This tag was also empty. But should have got <nature>org.eclipse.php.core.PHPNature</nature> tag in it for Zend Studio to activate the Project Outline.

I didn’t post for some time now. Been working on my new house. And it just takes up every free minute i

have. But today when i was reading through my RSS feeds i noticed the Dutch PHP Group (PHPGG) is

organizing a meetup in Amsterdam at the end of this month. So if you are in or near Amsterdam on 23 of September drop by and have some fun.

You can register through the upcomming.com website. Or just by sending a personal email to the PHPGG group. For more info head over to the PHPGG website (Dutch).
