This plugin enables Sherlockode's AdvancedContentBundle on your Sylius website.

It provides advanced CMS features for end user contribution. Users can build their website pages quickly and effortlessly thanks to our intuitive interface. Several standard elements are included, such as text block, heading, image, image carousel, video player, ... Responsive layouts can be shaped as needed with row and column elements. Drafts are saved automatically and it's easy to rollback to a previous version. Custom elements can be added simply with a few lines of code.

Install the plugin with composer:

$ composer require sherlockode/sylius-advanced-content-plugin

Import the routing configuration and Sylius configuration from the bundle

# config/sylius_acb.yaml
imports:
    - { resource: "@SherlockodeSyliusAdvancedContentPlugin/Resources/config/config.yaml" }

# config/routes/sylius_acb.yaml
sherlockode_advanced_content_bundle:
    resource: "@SherlockodeAdvancedContentBundle/Resources/config/routing/base.xml"
    prefix: '/%sylius_admin.path_name%/acb'

sherlockode_advanced_content:
    resource: "@SherlockodeSyliusAdvancedContentPlugin/Resources/config/admin_routing.yaml"
    prefix: '/%sylius_admin.path_name%/acb'

sherlockode_advanced_content_shop:
    resource: "@SherlockodeSyliusAdvancedContentPlugin/Resources/config/shop_routing.yaml"
    prefix: '/{_locale}/acb'

Regarding the assets, the same setup as for the standalone AdvancedContentBundle should be done.

Update your package.json with the following:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free": "^6.1.2",
    "jquery": "^3.5.0",
    "jquery-ui": "1.12.1"
  }
}

In the admin JS entry file from your assets, add the resources from the bundle:

// ./assets/admin/entry.js
//...
import '../../vendor/sherlockode/advanced-content-bundle/Resources/public/css/index.scss';
import '../../vendor/sherlockode/advanced-content-bundle/Resources/js/index.js';
import '../../vendor/sherlockode/sylius-advanced-content-plugin/src/Resources/public/css/index.scss';

import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/fontawesome.css';
import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/solid.css';

If you are using Webpack, you can add the following lines to your admin configuration:

// ./webpack.config.js
//...
Encore.addLoader({
    resolve: {
        alias: {
            './acb-notification.js$': path.resolve(__dirname, 'vendor/sherlockode/sylius-advanced-content-plugin/src/Resources/js/AdvancedContentBundle/acb-notification.js')
        }
    }
});

Create migration for your database with:

php bin/console make:migration

Publish the assets to finish the installation

php bin/console assets:install public

The plugin adds a new Content section in the admin menu.
It includes links to the Page grid, to the Content grid and to the Tools page.

By default, the layout used to show the page previews is located at @SherlockodeSyliusAdvancedContentPlugin/Preview/preview.html.twig. You can customize this template by overriding it like any template in a third party bundle, or by replacing the sherlockode_sylius_acb.preview.view_handler service to manage different layouts depending on the page type:

services:
    sherlockode_sylius_acb.preview.view_handler:
        class: App\Acb\ViewHandler

And defining the service by yourself:

<?php

namespace App\Acb;

use Sherlockode\AdvancedContentBundle\Model\PageInterface;
use Sherlockode\AdvancedContentBundle\Model\ScopeInterface;
use Sherlockode\SyliusAdvancedContentPlugin\Preview\ViewHandlerInterface;

class ViewHandler implements ViewHandlerInterface
{
    /**
     * @param PageInterface  $page
     * @param ScopeInterface $scope
     *
     * @return string|null
     */
    public function getViewTemplate(PageInterface $page, ScopeInterface $scope): ?string
    {
        if ('homepage' === $page->getPageIdentifier()) {
            return '@SyliusShop/Acb/homepage.html.twig';
        }
        
        return '@SyliusShop/Acb/page.html.twig';
    }
}

url('sherlockode_sylius_acb_shop_page_view', {'pageIdentifier': slugOfMyCustomPage})
