Symfony Blog Bundle

HarentiusBlogBundle - bundle for a blog/simple portal (or complex, if using bundle inheritance and extension). View of this site.

As a backend, SonataAdminBundle is used. Implemented:

1. Admin panel (WYSIWYG, ckeditor), image/audio uploading, player.

2. Tags, categories, archives, tag cloud

3. Statistics

4. RSS-feed (requires modification)

5. "Smart" caching of everything, content is served very fast

To "ease the soul":

1. Tests

Installation

1) At the time of writing, the most recent version of Symfony was 2.7, so it will be guaranteed to work with this version. The installation of HarentiusBlogBundle was tested on a "naked" Symfony, but theoretically it can be used in an existing project.

For stand-alone installation, first install Symfony 2.7:

composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition test "2.7.*"

(Skip this step for existing projects).

Due to the use of bower-asset/ckeditor-more-plugin:dev-master in the admin panel, you need to add the following to composer.json for the installation of HarentiusBlogBundle:

"minimum-stability": "dev",
"prefer-stable": true,

(In the future I plan to eliminate this step). You also need to specify the asset installation path:

    "extra": {
        ...
        "asset-installer-paths": {
            "npm-asset-library": "web/assets/vendor",
            "bower-asset-library": "web/assets/vendor"
        }
    }

Now, let's proceed to installing the bundle:

$ composer.phar require harentius/blog-bundle

In order to make it work, you need to connect multiple bundles:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Stof\DoctrineExtensionsBundle\StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle(),
        new Knp\Bundle\PaginatorBundle\KnpPaginatorBundle(),
        new Knp\Bundle\MenuBundle\KnpMenuBundle(),
        new WhiteOctober\BreadcrumbsBundle\WhiteOctoberBreadcrumbsBundle(),
        new Sonata\CoreBundle\SonataCoreBundle(),
        new Sonata\BlockBundle\SonataBlockBundle(),
        new Sonata\DoctrineORMAdminBundle\SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundle(),
        new Sonata\AdminBundle\SonataAdminBundle(),
        new Sonata\TranslationBundle\SonataTranslationBundle(),
        new FOS\JsRoutingBundle\FOSJsRoutingBundle(),
        new Presta\SitemapBundle\PrestaSitemapBundle(),
        new Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\RoutingBundle\CmfRoutingBundle(),
        new Eko\FeedBundle\EkoFeedBundle(),

        new Harentius\BlogBundle\HarentiusBlogBundle(),
    );

    // ...
}

3) Now, include the configuration and routing files. HarentiusBlogBundle already has configuration examples. You can simply include them using imports, or, if you prefer, copy the contents to your application and configure them as needed.

Configuration

app/config/config.yml:

imports:
...
    - { resource: "@HarentiusBlogBundle/Resources/config/config.yml" }
    - { resource: "@HarentiusBlogBundle/Resources/config/security.yml" }

If you are using the configuration with HarentiusBlogBundle, remove

imports:
...
    - { resource: security.yml }

(Symfony does not allow storage of security configuration in multiple files).

Routes:

blog:
    resource: "@HarentiusBlogBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix:   /

admin:
    resource: "@HarentiusBlogBundle/Resources/config/routing-admin.yml"
    prefix:   /admin

Bundle configuration:

harentius_blog:
    sidebar:
        # ~ - no cache, 0 - unlimited cache
        cache_lifetime: 3600
        # Max tags number (ordered by max popularity)
        tags_limit: 10
        # Percent tags size, unlimited variants number (valid values: [50, 100], [25, 50, 75, 100], etc)
        tag_sizes: [65, 80, 100]
    homepage:
        # ~ - no page, feed only or page slug
        page_slug: index
        # ~ - no feed
        feed:
            # ~ - all
            category: ~
            # Last articles number
            number: 6
    list:
        posts_per_page: 20
    # For avoiding internal apc cache conflicts if run multiple sites on one server.
    cache:
        apc_global_prefix: blog
        statistics_cache_lifetime: 3600
