Hy, everybody, today we will see how to install Symfony2.1 and the following bundles:

• FOSUserBundle
• SonataAdminBundle
• SonataUserBundle

tl;dr: There is a GitHub repository with the project.

The first step is to create the project with the following command line:

composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition sonataadmin.fr

Then we edit the composer.json file to add the bundles:

"sonata-project/admin-bundle": "dev-master",
"friendsofsymfony/user-bundle": "dev-master",
"sonata-project/user-bundle": "dev-master",
"sonata-project/doctrine-orm-admin-bundle": "dev-master"

Update the AppKernel.php file to add the following bundles:

new FOS\UserBundle\FOSUserBundle(),
new Sonata\jQueryBundle\SonatajQueryBundle(),
new Sonata\AdminBundle\SonataAdminBundle(),
new Sonata\BlockBundle\SonataBlockBundle(),
new Sonata\DoctrineORMAdminBundle\SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundle(),
new Knp\Bundle\MenuBundle\KnpMenuBundle(),
new Sonata\UserBundle\SonataUserBundle('FOSUserBundle'),
new Sonata\EasyExtendsBundle\SonataEasyExtendsBundle(),

As Sonata Admin Bundle need the translation, we turn in on in the config.yml

framework:
    #esi:             ~
    translator:      { fallback: "%locale%" }
    secret:          "%secret%"

And we add the configuration for fosuserbundle and sonata admin in the config.yml:

fos_user:
    db_driver: orm
    firewall_name: main
    user_class: Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\User

sonata_block:
    default_contexts: [cms]
    blocks:
        sonata.admin.block.admin_list:
            contexts:   [admin]

        #sonata.admin_doctrine_orm.block.audit:
        #    contexts:   [admin]

        sonata.block.service.text:
        sonata.block.service.action:
        sonata.block.service.rss:

        # Some specific block from the SonataMediaBundle
        #sonata.media.block.media:
        #sonata.media.block.gallery:
        #sonata.media.block.feature_media:

sonata_admin:
    title:      Admin Panel
    title_logo: /bundles/sonataadmin/logo_title.png
    templates:
        # default global templates
        layout:  SonataAdminBundle::standard_layout.html.twig
        ajax:    SonataAdminBundle::ajax_layout.html.twig

        # default actions templates, should extend a global templates
        list:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:list.html.twig
        show:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:show.html.twig
        edit:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:edit.html.twig
    dashboard:
        blocks:
            # display a dashboard block
            - { position: left, type: sonata.admin.block.admin_list }

sonata_doctrine_orm_admin:
    # default value is null, so doctrine uses the value defined in the configuration
    entity_manager: ~

    templates:
        form:
            - SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundle:Form:form_admin_fields.html.twig
        filter:
            - SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundle:Form:filter_admin_fields.html.twig
        types:
            list:
                array:      SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:list_array.html.twig
                boolean:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:list_boolean.html.twig
                date:       SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:list_date.html.twig
                time:       SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:list_time.html.twig
                datetime:   SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:list_datetime.html.twig
                text:       SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_list_field.html.twig
                trans:      SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:list_trans.html.twig
                string:     SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_list_field.html.twig
                smallint:   SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_list_field.html.twig
                bigint:     SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_list_field.html.twig
                integer:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_list_field.html.twig
                decimal:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_list_field.html.twig
                identifier: SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_list_field.html.twig

            show:
                array:      SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:show_array.html.twig
                boolean:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:show_boolean.html.twig
                date:       SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:show_date.html.twig
                time:       SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:show_time.html.twig
                datetime:   SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:show_datetime.html.twig
                text:       SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_show_field.html.twig
                trans:      SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:show_trans.html.twig
                string:     SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_show_field.html.twig
                smallint:   SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_show_field.html.twig
                bigint:     SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_show_field.html.twig
                integer:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_show_field.html.twig
                decimal:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_show_field.html.twig

Since it’s an admin bundle we setup the security in the security.yml file:

security:
    encoders:
        FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface: sha512

    role_hierarchy:
        ROLE_ADMIN:       ROLE_USER
        ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN, ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]
        SONATA:
            - ROLE_SONATA_PAGE_ADMIN_PAGE_EDIT  # if you are not using acl then this line must be uncommented

    providers:
        fos_userbundle:
            id: fos_user.user_manager

    firewalls:

        # -> custom firewall for the admin area of the URL
        admin:
            pattern:      /admin(.*)
            form_login:
                provider:       fos_userbundle
                login_path:     /admin/login
                use_forward:    false
                check_path:     /admin/login_check
                failure_path:   null
            logout:
                path:           /admin/logout
            anonymous:    true
        # -> end custom configuration

        # defaut login area for standard users
        main:
            pattern:      .*
            form_login:
                provider:       fos_userbundle
                login_path:     /login
                use_forward:    false
                check_path:     /login_check
                failure_path:   null
            logout:       true
            anonymous:    true

    access_control:
        # URL of FOSUserBundle which need to be available to anonymous users
        - { path: ^/_wdt, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/_profiler, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }

        # -> custom access control for the admin area of the URL
        - { path: ^/admin/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/admin/logout$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/admin/login-check$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        # -> end

        - { path: ^/register, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/resetting, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }

        # Secured part of the site
        # This config requires being logged for the whole site and having the admin role for the admin part.
        # Change these rules to adapt them to your needs
        - { path: ^/admin, role: [ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN] }
        - { path: ^/.*, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }

Using the smyfony console we now generate the configuration for the user admin thanks to the SonataEasyExtendsBundle: app/console sonata:easy-extends:generate SonataUserBundle The bundle is created into the app folder, move it to src.

Once it done add this new bundle to the AppKernel.php:

new Application\Sonata\UserBundle\ApplicationSonataUserBundle(),

We have now to care of the entity and update them with @ORM annotation:

<?php

namespace Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity;

use Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseGroup as BaseGroup;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * This file has been generated by the Sonata EasyExtends bundle ( http://sonata-project.org/easy-extends )
 *
 * References :
 *   working with object : http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/orm/2.0/docs/reference/working-with-objects/en
 *
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="group")
 */
class Group extends BaseGroup
{

    /**
     * @var integer $id
     *
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * Get id
     *
     * @return integer $id
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}

<?php

namespace Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity;

use Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseUser as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * This file has been generated by the Sonata EasyExtends bundle ( http://sonata-project.org/easy-extends )
 *
 * References :
 *   working with object : http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/orm/2.0/docs/reference/working-with-objects/en
 *
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="dayo_user")
 */
class User extends BaseUser
{

    /**
     * @var integer $id
     *
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * Get id
     *
     * @return integer $id
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}

In the config.yml file, in the doctrine section we have to add the support for json:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        //...
        types:
            json: Sonata\Doctrine\Types\JsonType

That being done, the database need to be created or updated. Depending on your need use one of the following command:

app/console doctrine:schema:create for the creation


app/console doctrine:schema:update --force for the update

After that, install the assets with app/console assets:install web

In order to use our admin dashboard we have to import the route in routing.yml:

fos_user_security:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/security.xml"

fos_user_profile:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/profile.xml"
    prefix: /profile

fos_user_register:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/registration.xml"
    prefix: /register

fos_user_resetting:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/resetting.xml"
    prefix: /resetting

fos_user_change_password:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/change_password.xml"
    prefix: /change-password

soanata_user:
    resource: '@SonataUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/admin_security.xml'
    prefix: /admin

admin:
    resource: '@SonataAdminBundle/Resources/config/routing/sonata_admin.xml'
    prefix: /admin

_sonata_admin:
    resource: .
    type: sonata_admin
    prefix: /admin

# error-prevention
homepage:
 pattern: /

Last step if we didn’t already have a user, we create one:

app/console fos:user:create admintest admin@test.com pass --super-admin

You just have to go to http://sonataadmin.fr.dev/admin/dashboard and log on with the user and you should see this dashboard:

In a next article we will see how to add new elements to the admin dashboard.
