AdminThemeBundle

     

  

Admin Theme based on the AdminLTE Template for easy integration into symfony. This bundle integrates several commonly used javascripts and the awesome AdminLTE Template.

Installation

Installation using composer is really easy: this command will add "avanzu/admin-theme-bundle": "~1.3" to your composer.json and will download the bundle:

   php composer.phar require avanzu/admin-theme-bundle

Notice: if you prefer to stay with the AdminLTE theme v1.x, manually reference "avanzu/admin-theme-bundle": "~1.1" in composer.json "require" part and run php composer.phar update

For unstable releases (based in master branch) use:

   php composer.phar avanzu/admin-theme-bundle dev-master

Enable the bundle in your kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
	$bundles = array(
		// ...
		new Avanzu\AdminThemeBundle\AvanzuAdminThemeBundle(),
	);
}

If you use 2.x branch or dev-master version of this bundle you need additionally:

php bin/console avanzu:admin:initialize

Install assets (preferably using symlink method but hardcopy works as well)...

	php app/console assets:install --symlink

Or symfony 3.x/4.x version:

	php bin/console assets:install --symlink

... and fetch vendors:

	php app/console avanzu:admin:fetch-vendor

Or symfony 3.x/4.x version:

	php bin/console avanzu:admin:fetch-vendor

Additionaly, you can trigger fetch the vendor in each install or update of this bundle, for that edit your archive composer.json and add:

    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "Avanzu\\AdminThemeBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::fetchThemeVendors"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "Avanzu\\AdminThemeBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::fetchThemeVendors"
        ]
    } 

Symfony 2.8 notice

This bundle requires assetic, but it isn't shipped with symfony anymore since version 2.8. To install assetic, follow these steps:

php composer.phar require symfony/assetic-bundle

Enable the bundle in your kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
	$bundles = array(
		// ...
		new Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\AsseticBundle(),
	);
}

Add the following lines at app/config/config_dev.yml:

assetic:
    use_controller: false

Changing default values from templates

If you want to change any default value as for example admin_skin all you need to do is define the same at app/config/config.yml under [twig] section. See example below:

# Twig Configuration
twig:
    debug:            "%kernel.debug%"
    strict_variables: "%kernel.debug%"
    globals:
        admin_skin: skin-blue

You could also define those values at app/config/parameters.yml:

admin_skin: skin-blue

and then use as follow in app/config/config.yml:

# Twig Configuration
twig:
    debug:            "%kernel.debug%"
    strict_variables: "%kernel.debug%"
    globals:
        admin_skin: "%admin_skin%"

AdminLTE skins are: skin-blue (default for this bundle), skin-blue-light, skin-yellow, skin-yellow-light, skin-green, skin-green-light, skin-purple, skin-purple-light, skin-red, skin-red-light, skin-black and skin-black-light. If you want to know more then go ahead and check docs for AdminLTE here.

There are a few values you could change for sure without need to touch anything at bundle, just take a look under Resources/views. That's all.

Upgrade notice

Version >= 1.3 comes with pre packaged asset files located under Resources/public/static/[prod|dev]. So, there is no longer a strict requirement for bower and/or assetic. The assetic groups hovever, are still there and should work as usual.

If the assetic bundle is installed but you don't want the AdminThemeBundle to use it you can add following lines to config.yml:

    avanzu_admin_theme:
        use_assetic: false
