Install and configure Symfony 2 and Sonata bundle

I found some bugs and inconsistencies while trying to install those 3 bundles by the book, so I decide to create that small tutorial.

What we gonna install:

  • Symfony Framework
  • SonataAdminBundle
  • SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundle
  • SonataEasyExtendsBundle

First we start by installing the Symfony Framework

1
composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition

Now we jump to the sonata bundle

1
composer require sonata-project/admin-bundle

Choose one connection, I use mysql so I need to install the SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundle

1
composer require sonata-project/doctrine-orm-admin-bundle

Activate the bundles

SonataAdminBundle

AppKernel.php

new SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundleSonataDoctrineORMAdminBundle(),
new SonataAdminBundleSonataAdminBundle(),

    sonata.admin.block.admin_list:

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

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

With this done, you should see a layout like this one in your site.

Sonata admin dashboard

At this moment we have the Sonata Admin Bundle configured in our site. We gonna process now with the Easy Extend Bundle then we end with the User Bundle.

EasyExtendBundle

Pretty simple to configure this bundle, start to download the bundle and activate the bundle in the AppKernel file.

php require sonata-project/easy-extends-bundle

Shell “ls -l” sort by list column

It’s common to list the files on directory, but it usefull to list them order sometimes. One way to do that is to simply add the | sort -k instruction. The value of k is the column who will be ordered.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  RewriteEngine on

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !noredirect.waltertavares.pt$ [NC]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*).waltertavares.pt$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.waltertavares.pt/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Of course you can skip redirection on a full list of subdomains by duplicating the line

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !noredirect.waltertavares.pt$ [NC]
