Open-Source Bundle to integrate WordPress in a Symfony2 Project.

Features:

• Using WordPress and Symfony2 in parallel
• Using layout from WordPress as a Twig - Template by annotation
• Use Symfony Controller output as WordPress Shortcodes

get the bundle by composer from packagist.org:

"require": {
    "php": ">=5.3.3",
    "symfony/symfony": "2.3.*",
    "sensio/framework-extra-bundle": "2.3.*",
    "doctrine/dbal": "2.3.*",
    "startplatz/wordpress-integration-bundle": "dev-master"
    ...
}

activate the bundle in your app/AppKernel.php

...
new Startplatz\Bundle\WordpressIntegrationBundle\StartplatzWordpressIntegrationBundle(),
....

enable a route that should be handled by WordPress in your routing configuration (e.g. app/config/routing.yml)

....
wordpress:
    resource: "@StartplatzWordpressIntegrationBundle/Controller/PassthruController.php"
    type: annotation

Note: all your other routes should be configured in advance.

For Apache 2 User: Take the sample .htaccess file to your document root and adjust it to your needs e.g. Error Handling etc. Note: It is better to prevent WordPress from changing this file!

For other HTTP-Server you need to setup the rules based on the Apache rules

Your WordPress Installation should be located in the web - folder of your Symfony2 - Project

To complete the integration you should update the globals - cache by calling the Symfony Console Command:

app/console startplatz:wordpress-integration:build-global-names-cache

app/config.yml:

startplatz_wordpress_integration:
    table_prefix: wp_
    wordpress_root_dir: %kernel.root_dir%/../web
    wordpress_dbal_connection: doctrine.dbal.wordpress_connection

• table_prefix: table prefix for WordPress (default: wp_)
• wordpress_root_dir: Directory, where Wordpress is installed - mandatory, no default value
• wordpress_dbal_connection: Doctrine-Dbal-Connection-Service for WordPress database (default: doctrine.dbal.wordpress_connection, to use the standard doctrine connection use doctrine.dbal.default_connection as Service ID)

defining the WordPress URL as template via annotation

<?php

namespace Acme\Bundle\WebsiteBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;
use Startplatz\Bundle\WordpressIntegrationBundle\Annotation\WordpressResponse;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/",name="show_index")
     * @WordpressResponse("/url-from-wordpress/", createTwigTemplate=true)
     * @Template
     */
    public function indexAction()
    {
        return array();
    }
}

Your Twig Template should look like:

{% extends template_from_string(app.request.get('_wordpressTemplate')) %}

{% block something %}
    Hello world!
{% endblock %}

Note: The twig function template_from_string() is not activated by default. See the documentation http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/functions/template_from_string.html for this.

In your WordPress page (or post) you can define as many blocks as you want. The WordPress Integration Bundle translates the wildcards like %%SOMETHING%% to the block definitions {%block something %}{% endblock %}

There are some default blocks that are integrated every time:

{% block additionalHead %}{% endblock %}
{% block additionalBody %}{% endblock %}
{% block robots %}index,follow{% endblock %}
