KoalaContentBundle is a simple CMS built for the Symfony 2 framework using the amazing Mercury Editor as front end editor.
Add koala/content-bundle to composer.json.
"require": {
...
"koala/content-bundle": "dev-master"
}
Then run composer update to install KoalaContentBundle and all its requirements. Composer will automatically register the new namespaces.
Register the new bundles in your app/AppKernel.php file:
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = array(
...
new Stof\DoctrineExtensionsBundle\StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle(),
new Knp\Bundle\MenuBundle\KnpMenuBundle(),
new Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\RoutingExtraBundle\SymfonyCmfRoutingExtraBundle(),
new Koala\ContentBundle\KoalaContentBundle(),
);
return $bundles;
}
Enable the Doctrine Tree extension and the Symfony CMF router in your app/config/config.yml file:
stof_doctrine_extensions:
orm:
default:
tree: true
symfony_cmf_routing_extra:
chain:
routers_by_id:
koala_content.dynamic_router: 200
router.default: 100
Install assets:
php app/console assets:install --symlink web
Install Mercury files under web/mercury. It's recommended to use the newest release, currently 0.8. (See See Mercury Downloads)
Download from https://github.com/downloads/jejacks0n/mercury/mercury-v0.8.0.zip and extract to web/mercury.
Next step is to setup the routing needed for the bundle to work. Add this to your app/config/routing.yml
koala_content:
resource: @KoalaContentBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml
prefix: /
_Note: By default Symfony has a welcome route in app/config/routing_dev.yml which you need to remove if you want to use the root.
If you rather want to content pages under a separate section you can change the prefix to something like /cms
The last step is to update the database schema and load some default content. Make sure you have setup your database config in app/config/parameters.yml before running the setup command:
php app/console koala_content:setup
