GoreBlogBundle

A Symfony2 blog bundle (work in progres)

This bundle is not complete : the blog misses a lot of functionalities, and many bug remain.

I put it in GitHub / Packagist in order to use & test it in parallele of the dev. You can check the progress on my developper blog that I just initiated at the same time as the bundle : http://www.petegore.fr

Thanks for your comprehension :)

Uses

GoreBlodBundle uses different existing bundles like :

• FOSUserBundle : user management
• HWIOAuthBundle : connection with Twitter, Fb, etc...
• StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle : to user Doctrine extensions such as Sluggable
• StfalconTinymceBundle : to load TinyMCE as text editor for articles

All these bundles will be installed at the same time as the BlogBundle.

Installation

Requiring the main bundle

Add the following requirements to your composer.json :

# composer.json

"require": {
    ...
    "petegore/blog-bundle": "dev-master"
},

And then run the update composer command :

$ php composer.phar update

Enabling the bundles

# app/AppKernel.php

$bundles = array(
    ...
    /** Blog and associated bundles **/
    new Gore\BlogBundle\GoreBlogBundle(),
    new Stof\DoctrineExtensionsBundle\StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle(),
    new FOS\UserBundle\FOSUserBundle(),
    new Stfalcon\Bundle\TinymceBundle\StfalconTinymceBundle(),
    new HWI\Bundle\OAuthBundle\HWIOAuthBundle(),
);

Creating the main route

Add main blog route and FOSUserBundle routes :

# app/config/routing.yml

# ROUTING FOR HWIOAUTHBUNDLE : LET BEFORE THE OTHER ROUTES
hwi_oauth_redirect:
    resource: "@HWIOAuthBundle/Resources/config/routing/redirect.xml"
    prefix:   /connect

hwi_oauth_login:
    resource: "@HWIOAuthBundle/Resources/config/routing/login.xml"
    prefix:   /login


# ROUTING FOR BLOGBUNDLE
blog:
    resource: "@GoreBlogBundle/Resources/config/routing/routing.yml"
    prefix:   /


# ROUTING FOR FOSUSERBUNDLE
fos_user_security:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/security.xml"

fos_user_profile:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/profile.xml"
    prefix: /profile

fos_user_register:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/registration.xml"
    prefix: /register

fos_user_resetting:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/resetting.xml"
    prefix: /resetting

fos_user_change_password:
    resource: "@FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/routing/change_password.xml"
    prefix: /profile
    
logout:
    pattern: /logout

Create the security.yml file

# app/config/security.yml

security:
    encoders:
        Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User: plaintext
        FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface: sha512

    role_hierarchy:
        ROLE_ADMIN:       ROLE_USER
        ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_ADMIN]

    providers:
        fos_userbundle:
            id: fos_user.user_provider.username
            
    firewalls:
        main:
            pattern: ^/
            form_login:
                provider: fos_userbundle
                csrf_provider: form.csrf_provider
            logout:       true
            anonymous:    true

    access_control:
        - { path: ^/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/register, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/resetting, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/admin/, role: ROLE_ADMIN }

Updating the database schema

Update your database schema bu running update

$ php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force

Create your own admin user

By running the commands (for example) :

$ php app/console fos:user:create admin admin@mywebsite.com admin
$ php app/console fos:user:promote admin ROLE_ADMIN

Updating the assets

Run assets:install in order to install the public resources :

$ php app/console assets:install web/

Creating a pictures folder

Create a folder to store articles pictures into your web/ folder. For example : "web/pictures" Note : the article creation process will create subfolders based on year and month.

Set the minimal configuration

You only have to define the pictures folder into the YAML config file :

# app/config/config.yml

# Blog configuration
gore_blog:
    pictures_folder: pictures/
    # will be completer later

# FOSUserBundle
fos_user:
    db_driver: orm
    firewall_name: main
    user_class: Gore\BlogBundle\Entity\User
    
# Doctrine extensions bundle
stof_doctrine_extensions:
    default_locale: %locale%
    orm:
        default:
            sluggable: true

# Text editor and syntax highlighter
stfalcon_tinymce:
    tinymce_jquery: true
    selector: ".tinymce"
    language: %locale%
    external_plugins:
        sh4tinymce:
            url: "asset[bundles/goreblog/lib/tinymce-plugin/sh4tinymce/plugin.js]"
    theme:
        simple: ~
        advanced:
            plugins:
                - "advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak"
                - "searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen"
                - "insertdatetime media nonbreaking save table contextmenu directionality"
                - "emoticons template paste textcolor"
            toolbar1: "insertfile undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image"
            toolbar2: "print preview media | forecolor backcolor emoticons | stfalcon | example"
            

Customizing the blog

    pictures_folder:        pictures/
    blog_title:             Chroniques d'un devweb
    main_articles_to_show:  2
