ValantirForumBundle

Installation

Step 1

To install bundle in your project, add below line to your composer.json file:

// composer.json
{
    // ...
    "require": {
        // ...
        "valantir/forumbundle": "dev-master",
    }
}

NOTE: Please replace dev-master with the latest stable version, for example 1.0.0.

Then install bundle by running update command:

// composer.json
$ php composer.phar update valantir/forumbundle

Now you need to add bundle to your AppKernel.php file:

<?php
// in AppKernel::registerBundles()
$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new Valantir\ForumBundle\ValantirForumBundle(),
    // ...
);

Step 2 - configuration

Now in file routing.yml add belowe code:

// routing.yml
valantir_forum:
    resource: "@ValantirForumBundle/Resources/config/routing/all.xml"

Add path to your User class in your config.yml file and comment assetic.bundles options or add ValantirForumBundle to this configuration:

//config.yml
valantir_forum: 
    user_class: path/to/user/class

//config.yml
assetic:
    #bundles: []

OR

//config.yml
assetic:
    bundles: [ValantirForumBundle]

ValantirForumBundle needs doctrine-extension-bundle, so please configure it. For example:

// config.yml
stof_doctrine_extensions:
    default_locale: pl_PL
    orm:
        default:
            softdeleteable: true
            sluggable: true
            sortable: true
            tree: true

services:
    gedmo.listener.softdeleteable:
        class: Gedmo\SoftDeleteable\SoftDeleteableListener
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
        calls:
            - [ setAnnotationReader, [ @annotation_reader ] ]

doctrine:
    orm:
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: "%kernel.debug%"
        auto_mapping: true
        filters:
            softdeleteable:
                class: Gedmo\SoftDeleteable\Filter\SoftDeleteableFilter
                enabled: true

ValantirForumBundle needs tree, softdeleteable, sortable and sluggable

More about doctrine-extension-bundle

Your user class needs implement Valantir\ForumBundle\Entity\UserInterface or extend Valantir\ForumBundle\Entity\User

For example:

If you use FOSUserBundle and your class extends user class from this bundle, you can copy all properties and methods from Valantir\ForumBundle\Entity\User class.

If you want the user to be able to edit forum, give him the role ROLE_FORUM_ADMIN.

Step 3 - Additional configuration

By default forum uses golonka/bbcodeparser (bb_code_golonka_parser service) but if you want to use php_bbcode extension, you have to install it from here

and add parser service:

// config.yml
valantir_forum: 
    parser: bb_code_extension_parser

If you want to write your own parser, you can do this by:

• creating your bbcode parser like a service
• extending class of AbstractParser (Valantir\ForumBundle\Service\AbstractParser)
• changing configuration:

// config.yml
valantir_forum: 
    parser: your_bb_code_parser_service
