Main question
How can you make symfony in non-standard directories to find the “best” (customizable) Twig template to load for package presentation?
Symfony docs says that by default it looks in two places: overrides the Twig template
When AcmeBlogBundle: Blog: index.html.twig is called, Symfony actually looks in two different places for the template:
Application / Resources / AcmeBlogBundle / views / Blog / index.html.twig SRC / Acme / BlogBundle / Resources / views / Blog / index.html.twig
But this discusses how you override the provider package. In my case, I have my own packages in my / src /, which I want to rewrite to each design template or to a specific client. It should look:
Client: /var/www/vhosts/{ID}/src Template: /var/www/core/cms/src/Gutensite/TemplateBundle/Templates/Admin/src
Twig Loader has a convenient way to add paths:
$templatePath = '/var/www/core/cms/src/Gutensite/TemplateBundle/Templates/Admin/Resources/views'; $this->container->get('twig.loader')->prependPath($templatePath, 'template');
This allows me to register an alternative path to the template resources so that I can visualize the template shell as follows:
{% extends '@ template / shell / shell.html.twig'%}
But what about when I want to rewrite a package template like
Original: /var/www/core/cms/src/Gutensite/MenuBundle/Resources/views/Menu.html.twig Custom: /var/www/core/cms/src/Gutensite/TemplateBundle/Templates/Admin/src/Gutensite/MenuBundle/Resources/views/Menu.html.twig
How to register a generic / src / file so that Symfony looks there for all links to the vendor's bundle path, for example. when trying to render @GutensiteMenu/Menu.html.twig will first look in the user directory 1) Client , 2) Template , 3) by default with this name.
Required assets
Since my TemplateBundle / Templates / Admin / Resources / is in a non-standard location, assetic will not upload them to a shared directory (or create symbolic links) ... so I'm not sure how to make assetic dynamically find these files.
I am also not sure how to load assets that are in these other places, for example. this does not work:
{% stylesheets '@GutensiteTemplateBundle/Templates/Admin/Resources/public/css/site.css' %} <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset_url }}"> {% endstylesheets %}
Presumably because it is not reset.
Why do I need it?
I am creating a hosted CMS, which is the main provider that contains various packages with controllers and templates, for example. /Gutensite/CmsBundle , Gutensite/ArticleBundle .
Based on the selected "Design Template" for the site, the design template is referenced in the TemplateBundle, for example. /TemplateBundle/Templates/Admin (a template called "Admin"). TemplateBundle should be able to redefine the main controllers or views.
I registered the Gutensite / TemplateBundle / Templates / Admin / src / folder as an alternative namespace for the Composer / autoload.php application, so that the controllers can be overwritten if they have the same Gutensite namespace (and this works fine):
// in my primary controller: $loader = $GLOBALS['loader']; $loader->add('Gutensite', '/var/www/core/cms/src/Gutensite/TemplateBundle/Templates/Admin/src', true);
NOTE. I could register each individual template as a package, and this would theoretically allow me to redefine the controllers and packages using the symfony built-in methods. But this will add a lot of "bundles" that are not really traditional ties. I also need the above solution to point to alternative template paths, because I also need the ability to point to client custom files located outside the normal symfony root directory (which I successfully do with the namespace autoloader paths for controllers).
