Hello CRUD Controller

Hey @OjarsBluzma

Thank you for informing us. We'll look into it

Cheers!

Hey Dahrag,

I suppose you have some code inside configureMenuItems() but nothing is shown in the browser? First of all, you can put a dd() statement inside the method to make sure application hit that spot. Probably you just forgot to extend a base controller (AbstractDashboardController)? Also, make sure you yield that MenuItem::linkToCrud() otherwise it will do nothing, because you need to return an array of menu items from that method :)

And just in case, clear the cache and try again :)

Cheers!

Hey Francois,

Yes, it should be possible with some more custom work, not something that may work out of the box. I believe you need to override base createIndexQueryBuilder() method in your EA CRUD controller, it will allow you to add any additional conditions to the query that lists entities. Also, you may want to override more methods. like detail(), edit(), delete() to add some custom logic that will help to determine if the current admin has access to the entity if needed, because you know, you can hack the URL and still open an entity that is not listed on index page, so depends on how secure you want to handle it.

Cheers!

Hey @Ryan-L

It's great that you could fix your problem. Regarding "use statements" you need them when the file is on a different namespace, whether or not is a static call
You don't need to add the use statement if you're using the FQNS e.g. new App\Some\Service();

Cheers!

Hey @Rufnex

Good catch, I believe something in this tutorial is still using annotations instead of PHP attributes, but if you're not using them in your project you can remove SensioFrameworkExtraBundle. Also, EasyAdminBundle version 4 does not force you to use it, but perhaps a lower version will

Cheers!

Hey Rufnex,

Hm, do you have DashboardController? Do you have any menu items in the configureMenuItems() method of it?

Could you share a screenshot maybe? You can upload to an image hosting like e.g. Imgur and send the link to it. Is there a chance that the menu was accidentally collapsed for you?

Cheers!

<?php

namespace App\Controller\Admin;

use App\Entity\Pages;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\Dashboard;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\MenuItem;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Controller\AbstractDashboardController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;


class DashboardController extends AbstractDashboardController
{
    #[Route('/admin', name: 'admin')]
    public function index(): Response
    {
        #return parent::index();

        // Option 1. You can make your dashboard redirect to some common page of your backend
        //
        // $adminUrlGenerator = $this->container->get(AdminUrlGenerator::class);
        // return $this->redirect($adminUrlGenerator->setController(OneOfYourCrudController::class)->generateUrl());

        // Option 2. You can make your dashboard redirect to different pages depending on the user
        //
        // if ('jane' === $this->getUser()->getUsername()) {
        //     return $this->redirect('...');
        // }

        // Option 3. You can render some custom template to display a proper dashboard with widgets, etc.
        // (tip: it's easier if your template extends from @EasyAdmin/page/content.html.twig)
        //
        // return $this->render('some/path/my-dashboard.html.twig');
        return $this->render('admin/dashboard.html.twig');
    }

    public function configureDashboard(): Dashboard
    {
        return Dashboard::new()
            ->setTitle('Test Beta');
    }

    public function configureMenuItems(): iterable
    {
        yield MenuItem::linkToDashboard('Dashboard', 'fa fa-home');
        yield MenuItem::linkToCrud('The Label', 'fas fa-list', Pages::class);
    }
}

With return parent::index(); it doesnt work (only the splash welcome displays).

Hey Rufnex,

Ah, yes... you've probably missed the previous video where we mention that in a newer version of EasyAdmin, see https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/easyadminbundle/dashboard#:~:text=the admin dashboard!-,Tip,-Since version 4.0.3 . So that's ok, just follow the instructions in that note to follow this tutorial :)

Cheers!

You're right . i missed it, but i found the solution by myself lol. Thank you ;o)

Hey Rufnex,

That's even better! 💪🏻 I'm happy you were able to find it yourself ;)

Cheers!

Hey Marco,

Do you want to change the dashboard default page? If so, we are talking about it later in the course, see: https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/easyadminbundle/dashboard-page

I hope this helps!

Cheers!

Hey Michael,

I'm afraid there's no easy way for this out of the box. I'm not saying that it's impossible, you probably may override some things in the source code, or even fork the EA, but it definitely won't be easy, because as you will see further, EasyAdmin put a lot of stuff in that URL, including sorting by column, search query, applied filters, etc. So, by design, it's not supposed to work with SEO urls by default, and it's an internal "admin" feature that's hidden from your users and search engine robots that will parse your website, so it's not that important. Though on the other side, I see what you mean, sometimes clients may want to see nicer URLs and it may be a problem with EasyAdmin.

Well, you can disable signed URLs for EA, and it will not include that long hash for "signature" query parameter in the URLs - it will help a bit, but will make URLs a bit more guessable and compact, but still other query parameters will still exist like Controller and action names at least.

Here's an issue that might be interested for you: https://github.com/EasyCorp... - you can see Javier's answer on it and the exact reasons why it's working this way.

Cheers!

Hello Victor.
Thanks for the quick reply.
The issue is indeed interesting (even if the attitude of javiereguiluz is rather averse :-D ). I was basically about - what you have already guessed correctly - that you could use the admin panel possibly also as a user area for customers or externals. And for this at least the mentioned adjustment of the URL in the issue would be better than the current state.

Let's hope that we get javiereguiluz convinced :-)

Hey Michael,

Yeah, I see what you mean. But that's not because Javier "hates" SEO URLs.. it's just about simplicity, this decision was made by design, and it's easier to maintain. So, I'm sure it won't be changes in the nearest future unfortunately. So, you either should take care of it yourself, but it might be pretty complex IMO, or just take a look at other solutions like SonataAdminBundle or ApiPlatform admin. I hope this helps.

Cheers!
