sfAlohaPlugin documentation

Introduction

This plugin makes it very easy to turn any HTML element within a template into an editable WYSIWYG field using Aloha Editor. Aloha plugins are included to save the content (and upload pictures in a near future). The plugin can therefore be used to turn a symfony application into a very basic CMS.

Installation

• Go to your symfony project's root directory

• Install the plugin (via a package)

  ./symfony plugin:install sfAlohaPlugin
  

• Install the plugin (via Git):

  git clone git@github.com:Justpassingby/sfAlohaPlugin.git plugins/sfAlohaPlugin
  

• Activate the plugin in the config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php

  class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
  {
    public function setup()
    {
      $this->enablePlugins(array(
        'sfDoctrinePlugin', 
        'sfAlohaPlugin',
        '...'
      ));
    }
  }

• Rebuild your model

  ./symfony doctrine:build-model
  ./symfony doctrine:build-sql
  

• Update you database tables (beware that it deletes all tables and create them from scratch):

  ./symfony doctrine:insert-sql
  

• Publish plugin assets

  ./symfony plugin:publish-assets
  

Add editable content to a page

• Execute ("My content" is an arbitrary name that will be used to easily identify content. It's like a title which won't be displayed)

  ./symfony aloha:create-content "My content"
  

• In a template, render the content

  <?php use_helper('Aloha'); ?>
  <?php echo aloha_init_page(); ?>
  <?php echo aloha_render_element('My Content'); ?>

  • Now you can test your page, hover the mouse cursor on the div element, edit it, and click the save button in the Aloha editor toolbar :)
