README

SillyCMS is a really simple Wiki built in Symfony 2 and Doctrine 2 as a learning project for Symfony 2. It is not a world-rocking, life-changing CMS for your client projects.

To try it out, build your database (it will be called sillycms):

php app/console doctrine:database:create php app/console doctrine:schema:create

Make sure the web folder is document root and visit the site:

http://sillycms/app_dev.php

The home page doesn't exist yet so log in, click Edit and provide some content.

Now access another page:

http://sillycms/app_dev.php/coolbeans

And provide content for that page.

Notice that both pages now appear in the navigation list at the left.

A simple Wiki syntax is supported. You can create headings:

= Heading = == Lesser Heading == === Even Lesser Heading ===

URLs are automatically transformed into links, and you can create convenient links to other Wiki pages by putting their titles in double brackets:

[[title]]

This demonstrates our success in registering a Twig filter as a Symfony bundle.

MAKE SURE YOUR PHP HAS THE intl EXTENSION if you get errors about a missing Locale class. For instance, for MacPorts:

port install php5-intl

IMPORTANT: I am using .yml config files, please ignore .xml and .php config files left over from the sandbox. Symfony seems to honor the most recently modified, which would be my .yml files.

TODO

• Add multiuser security using Doctrine objects and Symfony 2 ACLs; go beyond the in-memory user provider

• Tom Boutell, [email protected]

The rest of this README is the original Symfony 2 sandbox README.

What is Symfony?

Symfony is a PHP 5.3 full-stack web framework. It is written with speed and flexibility in mind. It allows developers to built better and easy to maintain websites with PHP.

Symfony can be used to develop all kind of websites, from your personal blog to high traffic ones like Dailymotion or Yahoo! Answers.

High Performance

Built with performance in mind, Symfony 2 is one of the fastest PHP frameworks. It is up to 3 times faster than symfony 1.4 or Zend Framework 1.10 and consumes half the memory.

Requirements

Symfony is only supported on PHP 5.3.2 and up. To check the compatibility of your environment with Symfony, you can run the web/check.php script, bundled with this sandbox.

Documentation

Symfony 2.0 is still in the early stages of development, but the "Quick Tour" tutorial can get you started fast.

The "Quick Tour" tutorial barely scratches the surface of Symfony 2.0 but it gives you a first feeling of the framework. If, like us, you think that Symfony 2.0 can help speed up your development and take the quality of your work to the next level, visit the official Symfony 2 website to learn about it.
