These configuration parameters will be used to instantiate Route Enhancers. More information about
them can be found in the Routing component documentation page.
The specific example above determines that content instances of class Page will be rendered using the
above template, if none other is explicitly provided by the associated Route (which, in this case, is Page
itself). It also states that all content documents that instantiate RedirectRoute will be rendered using the
specified Controller instead of the the default. Again, the actual Route can provided a controller that
will take priority over this one. Both the template and the controller are part of SimpleCMSBundle.
Menu Generation
As mentioned before, Page implements NodeInterface, which means it can be used to generate a
MenuItem that will, in turn, be rendered into HTML menus.
To do so, the default MenuBundle mechanisms are used, only a custom basepath is provided to the
PHPCRMenuProvider instance. This is defined in the SimpleCMSBundle configuration options, and used
when handling content storage to support functionality as described in Menu documentation. This
parameter is optional, and can be configured as follows:

# app/config/config.yml
cmf_simple_cms:
# defaults to auto; true/false can be used to force providing/not providing a menu
use_menu: ~
# defaults to /cms/simple
basepath: ~
Admin Support
The SimpleCMSBundle also includes the administration panel and respective service needed for
integration with SonataDoctrinePHPCRAdminBundle 1 , a backend editing bundle. For more information
about it, please refer to the bundle's documentation section 2 .
The included administration panels will automatically be loaded if you install the
SonataDoctrinePHPCRAdminBundle (refer to ../tutorials/creating-cms-using-cmf-and-sonata
for instructions on how to do so). You can change this behaviour with the following configuration
option:
1

# app/config/config.yml
cmf_simple_cms:
# defaults to auto; true/false can be used to force using/not using SonataAdmin
use_sonata_admin: ~
Fixtures
The SimpleCMSBundle includes a support class for integration with DoctrineFixturesBundle 3 , aimed at
making loading initial data easier. A working example is provided in Symfony CMF SE that illustrates
how you can easily generate MultilangPage and MultilangMenuNode instances from YAML files.
