git clone git@github.com:c2is/Bigfoot.git your_project

Install dependencies using composer :, _(*3)

cd your_project
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

If you didn't set it up during the composer install, setup your database through the Symfony standard distribution configuration web interface :, _(*4)

/app_dev.php/_configurator/step/0

If you're using a database you didn't previously create, Doctrine can do it for you (this is a safe command you can use even if the database already exists) :, _(*5)

./app/console doctrine:database:create

Load the schema and the fixtures :, _(*6)

./app/console doctrine:schema:update --force
./app/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Set permissions on cache and logs directories, _(*7)

sudo setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx app/cache/
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx app/cache/
sudo setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx app/logs/
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx app/logs/

On Macosx rather do this way, _(*8)

sudo chmod -R +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache/
sudo chmod -R +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/logs/
sudo chmod -R +a "_www allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache/
sudo chmod -R +a "_www allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/logs/

Usage

The Bigfoot administration interface is accessed in its specific environment named admin. It means the entry point is the admin.php file (or admin_dev.php for the debug mode), and the configuration is handled in the _admin suffixed files. The configuration setup looks like :, _(*9)

• app
  • config
    • common.yml : contains configuration options used by both the front and back offices
    • config.yml : contains configuration options for the front office
    • config_admin.yml : contains configuration options for the back office
    • routing.yml : contains routing configuration for both the front office and back office
    • routing_admin.yml : contains routing configuration for the front office

Default configuration only includes the administration interface routes in the admin environment. The administration interface is then available at :, _(*10)

http://localhost/admin(_dev).php/admin/

Bigfoot comes with the SEO and User plugins. By default, an authentication is required to access (if you loaded the bundled fixtures, you can use the admin / admin account). Feel free to change the authentication configuration in app/Resources/config/security.yml to fit your needs, though be advised that the BigfootUserBundle features won't be usable if your User class doesn't extend the Bigfoot\Bundle\UserBundle\Model\BigfootUser class., _(*11)

You should create a new admin user and delete the one loaded with the BigfootUserBundle fixtures if your application is accessible from the outside., _(*12)

You can comment the content of the app/Resources/config/security.yml file to disable the authentication on the application., _(*13)

Assetic

Bigfoot assets are not in the usual public/ directory under Resources/ ; they are not installed properly with an assets:install. To install the administration interface assets, please use :, _(*14)

./app/console bigfoot:theme:install (--symlink)

This command installs bigfoot assets and also executes the usual assets:install command. If executed with the symlink option, assets will be installed via a symbolic link (instead of hard copy), which is recommended during development (no need to assets:install everytime a css / js file is changed)., _(*15)

Bigfoot assets are loaded via Assetic and are gitignored. To have the admin interface display properly in production environment, you first must dump the assets with :, _(*16)

./app/console assetic:dump --env=admin
