#Symfony2-Improved-Distrib

A Symfony2 distrib improved with FOSUserBundle, DoctrineFixtures, DoctrineExtensions and DoctrineMigrations. It also includes Yui-compressor. Everything is preconfigured as possible.

##Features

This distribution allows you to start your Symfony2 projects really fast. You can just fork this repository and reconfigure it as you want. Here is a list of the main features:

• uses one of the last stable version of Symfony2
• includes useful bundles like FOSUserBundle, DoctrineFixtures, DoctrineExtensions and DoctrineMigrations
• includes Assetic to manage your resources
• includes the java binary for Yui-compressor to compress your JS and CSS files with Assetic
• reconfigures user's sessions to keep them after cache:clear
• includes a default Capifony deployment file to handle Assetic, migrations and user's session
• uses Incenteev to automatically create a parameter.yml that you have to fill after composer install

##Installation and configuration

###First things you have to do

You just have to follow these short steps to start your project:

• copy the app/config/parameter.yml.dist and fill with your database information
• install the vendor with composer
• follow instructions to create your parameter.yml
• reconfigure the secured area (default is /admin) and modify the prefix of the FOSUserBundle routes in app/config/routing.yml
• create your own bundle
• create the User entity in your bundle : Read the FOSUserBundle Documentation
• change default User class entry in app/config/config.yml under fos_user
• add your bundle in Assetic's configuration in app/config/config.yml

You can also see the optional configurations below to take the best of this distribution. I hope this will help kickstart your projects.

###Optional configurations

####Use Capifony

If you want to use Capifony, this distribution includes a default configuration file. There are some mandatory information to provide before using Capifony with this file:

• change your application name, domain name, deploy path, username and repository address

You can also change every Capifony settings you want to meet your needs. It's basically just a usual Capifony deployment file but configured to handle Assetic, migrations and user's sessions.
