genj/frontend-url-bundle

Symfony Frontend Url bundle - Provides helpers to easily generate URLs for frontend routes from within an admin environment.

GenjFrontendUrlBundle

Provides helpers to generate frontend URLs. Your Entities need these methods in order for this bundle to work:, _(*1)

    public function getRouteName()
    {
        return 'genj_article_article_show';
    }

    public function getRouteParameters()
    {
        return array(
            'categoryType' => $this->getCategory()->getType(),
            'categorySlug' => $this->getCategory()->getSlug(),
            'slug'         => $this->getSlug()
        );
    }   

Configuration

You must set the name of your frontend environment in config.yml:, _(*2)

genj_frontend_url:
    frontend_environment: my_frontend_app

Usage

Front-end URL generation

From twig:, _(*3)

{{ object|genj_url_for_frontend }}

From PHP:, _(*4)

$urlGenerator = $this->container->get('genj_url_generator.routing.frontend.generator.url_generator');
$frontendUrl  = $urlGenerator->generateFrontendUrlForObject($object);

Preview parameter

It is possible to generate a URL to a 'preview controller'. You could e.g. restrict access to that controller and show non-cached versions of certain pages. If you do:, _(*5)

$frontendUrl  = $urlGenerator->generateFrontendUrlForObject($object, true);

Then the resulting URL would become /preview.php/path/to/page., _(*6)

You can use the same thing from Twig too:, _(*7)

{{ object|genj_url_for_frontend(true) }}
