sfAdvancedAdminGenerator plug-in

The sfAdvancedAdminGenerator extends the functionality of the admin generator.

• It differentiates between the create and the edit action; they can now be different.

• It adds a 'show' action that provides a view for the object; none of the fields are editable.

• On the list page, it allows you to change the action for hyperlinks on cells; the default is edit but you can choose show instead.

• Now you can sort on multiple columns in the list page. (With foreign-tables too)

Installation

• Install the plug-in

      symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfAdvancedAdminGeneratorPlugin

• change the generator class in your generator.yml

Compatibility with default symfony generator

If no 'create' section is present in your configuration, the generator acts exactly like the default generator (the create action uses edit configuration).

If no 'click_action' option is present in 'list' section, the hyperlink links to the edit action.

Configuration

The configuration for the 'create' and 'show' sections are the same as for the symfony (default) admin generator.
