Symfony Content Management Framework

Mission Statement

The Symfony CMF project makes it easier for developers to add CMS functionality to applications built with the Symfony2 PHP framework. Key development principles for the provided set of bundles are scalability, usability, documentation and testing.

Installation

This is the main repository containing all bundles you need for the CMF.

Prerequisites

You need to install Doctrine PHPCR ODM according to the install instructions.

Setup

• Add this repository to your vendors
• Make sure to run git submodule update --recursive --init inside the symfony-cmf folder after each vendor update (we added this to the vendors script)

app/autoload.php: Add autoloader entries ( before the line registering Symfony itself )

'Symfony\\Cmf'                          => __DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony-cmf/src',
'Doctrine\\Bundle\\DoctrinePHPCRBundle' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
'Doctrine\\ODM\\PHPCR'                  => __DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony-cmf/vendor/doctrine-phpcr-odm/lib',
'Jackalope'                             => __DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony-cmf/vendor/doctrine-phpcr-odm/lib/vendor/jackalope/src',
'PHPCR'                                 => array(
                                             __DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony-cmf/vendor/doctrine-phpcr-odm/lib/vendor/jackalope/lib/phpcr/src',
                                             __DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony-cmf/vendor/doctrine-phpcr-odm/lib/vendor/jackalope/lib/phpcr-utils/src',
                                           ),

app/autoload.php: Add autoloader entries for the multilang and ODM annotations right after the last AnnotationRegistry::registerFile line

AnnotationRegistry::registerFile(__DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony-cmf/src/Symfony/Cmf/Bundle/MultilangContentBundle/Annotation/TranslationAnnotations.php');
AnnotationRegistry::registerFile(__DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony-cmf/vendor/doctrine-phpcr-odm/lib/Doctrine/ODM/PHPCR/Mapping/Annotations/DoctrineAnnotations.php');

app/AppKernel.php: Initialize bundles in the Kernel registerBundle method

new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrinePHPCRBundle\DoctrinePHPCRBundle(),
new Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\CoreBundle\SymfonyCmfCoreBundle(),
new Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\MultilangContentBundle\SymfonyCmfMultilangContentBundle(),
new Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\NavigationBundle\SymfonyCmfNavigationBundle(),
new Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\ContentBundle\SymfonyCmfContentBundle(),

Menus

The MenuBundle makes use of the KnpMenu library and KnpMenuBundle (see http://github.com/knplabs/KnpMenuBundle for installation and configuration). If you want to use menus you need to add KnpMenu and KnpMenuBundle to your vendors.

Don't forget to add the bundle in app/AppKernel.php:

app/AppKernel.php: Initialize bundles in the Kernel registerBundle method

new Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\MenuBundle\SymfonyCmfMenuBundle(),

Note

Some of the bundles are additionally exported into separate repository in case you want to use only a specific bundle. Browse https://github.com/symfony-cmf/ to see which are available. If you miss one, please contact us and explain why it should be available stand-alone.

Documentation on that part is in doc/StandaloneBundles.md
