WhiteOctoberAdminBundle

WARNING!: This bundle is now deprecated and no further development will take place on it. Use at your own risk :-)

Alternatives you might like to investigate instead:

• Sonata Admin Bundle
• White October's fork of PablodipAdminModuleBundle

Installation

You have to install this bundle as usual:

git submodule add git://github.com/whiteoctober/WhiteOctoberAdminBundle.git vendor/bundles/WhiteOctober/AdminBundle

You also have to install Pagerfanta with its bundle:

git submodule add git://github.com/whiteoctober/Pagerfanta.git vendor/pagerfanta

git submodule add git://github.com/whiteoctober/WhiteOctoberPagerfantaBundle.git vendor/bundles/WhiteOctober/PagerfantaBundle

Register namespaces in your autoload.php:

// app/autoload.php
$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
// ...
    'WhiteOctober' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
    'Pagerfanta'   => __DIR__.'/../vendor/pagerfanta/src',
    // ...
));

Register bundles in your AppKernel class:

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        // ...
        new WhiteOctober\PagerfantaBundle\WhiteOctoberPagerfantaBundle(),
        new WhiteOctober\AdminBundle\WhiteOctoberAdminBundle(),
    );
}

Add these lines to your app/config/routing.yml file:

_white_october_admin:
    resource: .
    type: white_october_admin

white_october_admin:
    resource: "@WhiteOctoberAdminBundle/Resources/config/routing/admin.xml"

Here you go ! Pretty easy isn't it ?

Configuration

Data managers

WhiteOctoberAdminBundle provides three data managers:

• Doctrine ORM
• Doctrine ODM
• Mandango

You have to choose at least one of them. You can add your own.

Edit your app/config/config.yml file:

# app/config/config.yml
white_october_admin:
    data_managers:
        doctrine:
            orm:    true
            odm:    false
        mandango:   false

Set true for each data manager you want to load.

Next, you have to declare your admin classes:

# app/config/config.yml
white_october_admin:
    ...
    admins:
        - { class: My\Bundle\Admin\MyClassAdmin }

Admin classes

An admin class must extend WhiteOctober\AdminBundle\Admin\Admin.

This bundle provides some admin classes for each data manager:

• WhiteOctober\AdminBundle\DataManager\Doctrine\ORM\Admin\DoctrineORMAdmin
• WhiteOctober\AdminBundle\DataManager\Doctrine\ODM\Admin\DoctrineODMAdmin
• WhiteOctober\AdminBundle\DataManager\Mandango\Admin\MandangoAdmin

Example:

<?php

namespace My\Bundle\Admin;

use WhiteOctober\AdminBundle\DataManager\Doctrine\ORM\Admin\DoctrineORMAdmin;

class MyClassAdmin extends DoctrineORMAdmin
{
    protected function configure()
    {

    }
}

To finish, you have to define a comportment the configure() method.

protected function configure()
{
    $this
        ->setName('Articles')
        ->setDataClass('MyBundle\Entity\Article')
        ->addActions(array(
            'doctrine.orm.crud',
        ))
        ->addFields(array(
            'title',
            'content',
            'isActive',
            // ...
        ))
    ;
}

You have to set a data class which can be your entity class with the setDataClass() method.

You also have to define actions (crud, create, list, edit, update, ...) in the configure() method.

Actions

Each data manager provides a set of actions:

• CRUDActionCollection
• CreateAction
• DeleteAction
• EditAction
• ListAdmin
• NewAction
• UpdateAction

To use one of them, just add it by using the addAction() method.

Each action is named like: xxxxx.action where xxxxx is the data manager (mandango, doctrine.orm or doctrine.odm) and action is the lowered word before Action.

Fields

You should specify fields by using the addFields() method.
