Jobeet Tutorial with Symfony2
Jobeet is a great tutorial wrote by the Symfony team to help you learn how to use the framework by building a fully functional job board website. It was wrote for Symfony 1.x version and now it’s time for a remake using the new Symfony2 framework., (*1)
In the following weeks I will begin to post the parts of making the Jobeet website using Symfony2, so it will help beginners to learn and understand how the framework works. I will try to follow the original Jobeet tutorial, but I will also make some changes from time to time to reflect my personal developing style., (*2)
1) Installing the Standard Edition
When it comes to installing the Symfony Standard Edition, you have the
following options., (*3)
Use Composer (recommended)
As Symfony uses Composer to manage its dependencies, the recommended way
to create a new project is to use it., (*4)
If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on
http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:, (*5)
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Then, use the create-project command to generate a new Symfony application:, (*6)
php composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition path/to/install
Composer will install Symfony and all its dependencies under the
path/to/install directory., (*7)
Download an Archive File
To quickly test Symfony, you can also download an archive of the Standard
Edition and unpack it somewhere under your web server root directory., (*8)
If you downloaded an archive "without vendors", you also need to install all
the necessary dependencies. Download composer (see above) and run the
following command:, (*9)
php composer.phar install
2) Checking your System Configuration
Before starting coding, make sure that your local system is properly
configured for Symfony., (*10)
Execute the check.php script from the command line:, (*11)
php app/check.php
Access the config.php script from a browser:, (*12)
http://localhost/path/to/symfony/app/web/config.php
If you get any warnings or recommendations, fix them before moving on., (*13)
3) Tutorial
Thanks to Dragos Holban (http://www.ens.ro/) to create a tutorial., (*14)
For Symfony before 2.3 :
http://www.ens.ro/2012/03/21/jobeet-tutorial-with-symfony2/, (*15)
For Symfony 2.3 :
http://www.intelligentbee.com/blog/tag/symfony2-jobeet/, (*16)
You modify the connection parameters into parameters.yml, (*17)
parameters:
database_driver: pdo_mysql
database_host: localhost
database_port: ~
database_name: jobeet
database_user: demo
database_password: demo
mailer_transport: smtp
mailer_host: localhost
mailer_user: ~
mailer_password: ~
locale: en
secret: N8Wvoek6KPwEI6onI692/.srbk06aZrb3pzuu/6
You can populate create database and populate using the shell script, (*18)
$ bin/prepare_enviroment_test.sh
Note: I don't have execute permissions use, (*19)
$ sh bin/prepare_enviroment_test.sh
Install all-in-one, (*20)
$ curl -s https://raw.github.com/gist/3800877/d5114b1f962789552a27863bfa332a8f194b7532/all-in-one-symfony2-jobeet.sh | sh, (*21)
