#SymfonyStartupBoost

What is it?

To save time when starting a new project with Symfony2, SymfonyStartupBoost contains a couple of pre-configured empty repositories with the Acme namespace removed.

Go through the different master branches to find one that suits your needs.

		Notes: 
		--------------
		- NONE of the builds use Assetic to load CSS files. 
		- Make sure you understand all REQUIREMENTS each build requires.

Here are some example of builds:

With front-end librairies:

• Symfony v2.2.0 + Zurb Foundation 4.0.5 (with SASS) + Compass.
• Symfony v2.2.0 + Zurb Foundation 4.0.5 (without SASS).
• Symfony v2.2.0 + MopaBootstrapBundle (Twitter Bootstrap) + Compass.
• Symfony v2.2.0 + MopaBootstrapBundle (Twitter Bootstrap).

With front-end & back-end librairies:

• Symfony v2.2.0 + Zurb Foundation 4.0.5 (with SASS) + Compass / FOSUserbundle + KNPMenuBundle.
• Symfony v2.2.0 + Zurb Foundation 4.0.5 (without SASS) / FOSUserbundle + KNPMenuBundle.
• Symfony v2.2.0 + MopaBootstrapBundle (Twitter Bootstrap + Compass / FOSUserbundle + KNPMenuBundle.
• Symfony v2.2.0 + MopaBootstrapBundle (Twitter Bootstrap) / FOSUserbundle + KNPMenuBundle.

HowTo Get Started

Clone the Branch you Picked up:

 $ git clone [email protected]:tobyhourst/SymfonyStartupBoost.git -b branch_name /path/to/download/location

Note: replace branch_name & /path/to/your/local/server appropriately.

Little Configuration

• Rename the downloaded folder to your_project_name
• Install the vendors:

 $ cd /path/to/folder
 
 # if composer is globally installed on your machine, run:
 $ composer install
 
 # or else, get composer executable:
 $ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
 # then install the vendors:
 $ php composer.phar install 

• Make sure app/cache and app/logs have the right permissions:

 $ (sudo) chmod 777 app/cache app/logs

• Point to: http://localhost/your_project_name/app/check.php to make sure your server meets all Symfony2 requirements.
