How to install or integrate bundles in Symfony2

Question

i have downloaded a sonata admin bundle, and have placed in /var/www/Symfony/vendor/symfony/src/Symfony/Bundle, and have made an entry in AppKernel.php

Answer 1

You need to move the bundle to

/var/www/Symfony/vendor/bundles

Then in AppKernel.php add

new Sonata\AdminBundle\SonataAdminBundle(),

in your $bundles array.

In autoload.php add

'Sonata'           => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',

to the $loader->registerNamespaces array

Answer 2

First off, SonataAdminBundle lives in Sonata namespace, not Symfony. So you'll have to rewrite the instantiation in app/AppKernel.php to:

new Sonata\AdminBundle\SonataAdminBundle()

You also have to register namespace in app/autoload.php:

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
...
'Sonata' => __DIR__.'/path/to/parent/of/Sonata/folder'
...
));
