Use the Console component

[jmontoyaa]

The chash works fine, but we are going to add more features. It will be nice to implement a cleaner way using the console component.
You just hook up commands for example: "database management", "translations", etc

$application = new Application();
$application->add(new DatabaseCommand);
$application->add(new TranslationCommand);
$application->run();

my idea (for now) was to keep chash a one-file script to make it easy to just downlad-and-execute. IS there any way to do that for the console element? (bundle it inside the same file)

[jmontoyaa]

As far as I know is not possible to do it in one file.

One question: If we add a code in chash that code will only exist in the chash.php file (In order to work in all chamilo installation) right?
So for example in task #2 we have to write the code twice if we want that functionality in a Chamilo portal (web UI).

In fact we can do it using phars files, we can write our code in different files then you can "compress" all PHP files into a single file something like "chash.phar", then you can execute the file.
Composer works like that!

Creando un archivo phar funciona muy bien
