Installation

Add to your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "alexandresalome/multisite-bundle": "~0.1"
    }
}

Add the bundle to your kernel:

# app/AppKernel.php

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            # ...
            new Alex\MultisiteBundle\AlexMultisiteBundle(),
        );
    }
}

Configuration

Add this section to your config.yml file:

alex_multisite:
    default_branding: branding_A
    default_locale:   fr_FR
    brandings:
        _defaults:
            register: true
        branding_A:
            en_GB: { host: branding-a.com }
            fr_FR: { host: branding-a.com, prefix: /fr }
        branding_B:
            _defaults:
                register: false
            en_GB: { host: branding-b.com }
            de_DE: { host: branding-b.de, register: false }

In this section, you must configure your brandings and locales.

You can also add extra options, like the register option here.

Declare your routes

In your controllers, substitute

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;

with

use Alex\MultisiteBundle\Annotation\Route;

You can then configure a multisite route in two ways:

/**
 * @Route(name="login", paths={
 *   "fr_FR"="/connexion",
 *   "en_GB"="/login"
 * })
 */
public function loginAction()
# ...

The path will be the same for all brandings, but will be localized. If you want a different path for same locale in different sites:

/**
 * @Route(name="login", paths={
 *   "branding_A"={
 *     "fr_FR"="/connexion-on-A",
 *     "en_GB"="/login-on-A",
 *   },
 *   "branding_B"={
 *     "en_GB"="/login-on-B",
 *   },
 * })
 */
public function loginAction()
# ...

Override templates

If you want to change a template for a specific site, create a similarly named file with branding/locale option in it:

Given your default template is AcmeDemoBundle::contact.html.twig.

You can override it with branding, locale, or both:

• AcmeDemoBundle::_branding_locale/contact.html.twig
• AcmeDemoBundle::_branding_/contact.html.twig
• AcmeDemoBundle::__locale/contact.html.twig

Just create the file and it will automatically be loaded in place of the previous one.

Read the site context

From templates, use the global variable site_context, which returns a Alex\MultisiteBundle\Branding\SiteContext instance:

You are currently on {{ site_context.currentBrandingName }}
Your locale is {{ site_context.currentLocale }}

You can also read options from config with:

The option register is {{ site_context.option('register') ? 'enabled': 'not enabled' }}

In your controllers, use service site_context:

public function indexAction()
{
    $this->get('site_context')->getCurrentLocale();
    $this->get('site_context')->getOption('register');
}

Disable route sorting

You might want to rely on natural order of routes. If you're in this case, you can disable the optimization by providing the sort_route option:

alex_multisite:
    sort_routes: false
    # ...

Security

You can combine this bundle with Symfony's SecurityBundle, and use this bundle for your routes for login form page.

But, you must not use the multisite feature for the following routes:

• login-check
• logout
