In this example, we will take the concrete case of a simple
interface that includes multiple elements. We have chosen to
use a "Projects" table in which we will assign documents.
Therefore, for a project, we can assign several documents. And
to facilitate administration, we will ensure that we can manage
our nested interface directly within the edit view of our
project.We need to create the schema. Firstly, we
import our current schema into MysqlWorbench usi...
Here we will see how to create a second interface while the entity is already in use in a CRUD interface.The problem with automatically generated interfaces is that they use the name of the entity to construct the routes.If we configure a second interface with an entity that is already used, we will end up with the same route as the first.To address this issue, we will use these two parameters in our admin class to override the default values.Suppose we are using the entity "model", we could...
We will see how to set up a multilingual admin interface with a language selection button (language switcher).Installing translationBundle
composer require sonata-project/translation-bundle
bin/console assets:install
The language switcher requires a specific twig filter.Otherwise, you will get an error like:Unknown "language_name" filter.Then, you need to install these two bundles
composer require twig/intl-extra
composer require twig/extra-bundle
bin/console cache:clear
We add the default c...
We will see how to manage an admin interface that connects
to multiple servers.In our example, we have set up a default
MySQL server that manages our admin interface. Users, media,
etc.And we have set up a PostgreSQL server that contains a
table we wish to manage.We can add as many servers as we wish.
Our MySQL Server
We have traditionally set up a Symfony Sonata instance by default
with a classic MySQL connection. So we can create our database,
the schema, and...
We are going to see how to exploit Jsonb field types from PostgreSQL in a generated interface of Sonata.We start with the assumption that you already master the basic concepts of Symfony, Sonata, and PostgreSQL.First, let's create a simple table in PostgreSQL that will contain a Jsonb field.
CREATE SEQUENCE public.table1_id_seq;
CREATE TABLE public.table1 (
id integer DEFAULT nextval('public.table1_id_seq'::regclass) NOT NULL,
var1 character varying(250...
We are going to see how we can create a custom field type. In our example, we want a field that has the same rendering as a MoneyType field but in which we can add any suffix, as the money field only accepts currencies. However, in our project we want to use kilograms, months or even kilometers. In short, a whole range of possible data types.We start by creating our Type class:
<?php
// src/Form/Type/NumberSuffixType.php
namespace App\Form\Type;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
u...
One of the recurring needs of a web project is the need for global parameters for your application. Generally, these are stored in a yml file and that's all you need. But it gets complicated when the client asks to be able to have control over them.Give them FTP/SSH access to modify them? No, definitely not. Especially if it’s to delegate this task to an intern.You will need to provide them with an admin interface with a form to be able to modify these parameters.In our case, we only need a ...
In this article, we will see how to create a REST API with
FOS/RestBundle, including authentication, and a Swagger-like
documentation generator.

Sonata is a suite of bundles for Symfony 4. One of which allows for content management in a WordPress-like manner.There is little documentation available on the internet, and for good reason, the installation is bugged, and the few people who have dealt with the bug tracker on GitHub, have been bluntly told to RTFM.Staying put with such failure is not really my style.Here's how to install and configure Sonata-Page-Bundle, with the official installation, and the workarounds for these F###ing ...
The default interfaces of Sonata are CRUDs. This is incredibly practical (otherwise, we wouldn't use it). But an administration is not only composed of CRUDs. Here we will see how to create a simple data export page, by removing the default views of the interfaces, and creating our own to manage our export button.
1 – Adding the export library
composer require sonata-project/exporter
We then need to add a configuration file for our exporter.
#config/packag...
We are going to see how to build an admin interface composed of several tables that have Many2Many relationships.Let's revisit our example of a many/many interface available hereWe have a zone table, which is made up of several elements of the departments table. On these departments, we have agencies.To top it off, and to give meaning to this data chain, we add a zx_credential table, which represents salespeople.Here is our data chain: Salespeople->Zones->Departments->Agencies.
...
We will develop here all the manipulations to build a many to many interface via Sonata.We will take as an example a zone management with a connection by departments. Each zone is thus constituted of multiple connections with the department table.In MysqlWorkbench, it looks like this:
To generate the entities, we use the following command:
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import "App\Entity" annotation --path=src/Entity
Next, we ...
To add an object duplication feature to a CRUD list, you
need to modify the list by adding the button, configure a route,
execute object duplication code, and finally, reference the
controller that will host our function in our interface, via its
service.Adding the button:In your controller, add the
button by referencing the button template.Here we set the path
'Admin/list__action_clone.html.twig'. The system will look for the
file at: /templates/Admin/list_...
In short, we want to create a CRUD interface, 1N, with
which, when we are editing an item, we add a panel to manage all
the child items.Here we have a wtype table, with a wconf
table that contains a series of records linked to a wtype item.
Just like for the implementation example of sortable with
drag'n'drop ( available here ) we are going to use the
following
components:pixassociates/sortable-behavior-bundle
and stof/doctrine-extension...
You need to install pixassociates/sortable-behavior-bundle and stof/doctrine-extensions-bundle
composer require stof/doctrine-extensions-bundle
composer require pixassociates/sortable-behavior-bundle
Add the configuration in pix_sortable.yamlBy adding the entity and the field in position_field (here wconf, and the position field)
pix_sortable_behavior:
db_driver: orm # mongodb default value : orm
position_field:
default: position #default value : position
