Situation
I have a Base Symfony app which can be compared to an abstract class.
I have multiple Customer Symfony apps, all based from the Base app.
Customer apps are simple websites, each with different (read-only) data, themes, etc.
Base app - does NOT function as stand-alone
- .htaccess files, AppKernel, config.yml, etc.
- multiple vendor bundles
- Base bundle with some base views
- lacks Controller
- lacks routing
- lacks customer-specific resources
Customer - contains elements missing from Base app
- "injected" into Base app
- Controller(s)
- routing
- customer-specific resources (views, css, js, data, etc.)
Using git, and would prefer to create a git repo out of the Base code, with each Customer repo referencing Base repo as submodule.
This keeps Base code in one repository and maintains a clean separation between Customer repos.
root\ - (Customer repo) Customer\ - (Customer-specific files) Symfony\ - (Base app submodule repo) app\ src\ MyCompany\ BaseBundle\ vendor\ web\
Sticking Point
Unable to get Symfony to recognize the Customer\
folder, nor any of its contents.
Specs
- Symfony 2.3
- Git
- Apache 2.4.4
- PhpStorm
- Windows 7 x64
Failed Attempts
- adding Customer bundle to AppKernel.php
registerBundles
- registering the
Customer\
folder in autoload.php
