Is there a way in symfony2 that you can pre-define a procedure for inserting the basic data to the database for the application to work?, this is for not sharing an SQL script.
I see this as a doctrine procedure that is executed when you decide to update the schema. So it will check if there is the basic configuration data, if not, it will insert it. Is there something like that?
Thanks in advance
From the Symfony2 website
You have to use DoctrineFixturesBundle
There isn't such a feature embedded in SF2 and / or Doctrine2.
But you can create your own command to add this behavior to your application / bundle :)
As Picoss said, there is the Doctrine Fixtures Bundle but it isn't part of the Symfony2 core.

I am a new developer on an existing php project that respect its proper mvc.
I have successfully "plug" a Symfony installation on it, in order to replace some of the already existing Symfony components such as Router, Request etc...
I have some functionalities to develop and I am isolating them under one bundle.
My question is : can I use Doctrine for this one in order to start a sanitize work on the existing database ? If I want to use foreign keys with the existing others tables I need to configure the mapping on them...It's a problem because I cannot start a refactoring for the objects of this project that are not entities-like. Is there a solution to use doctrine only for my bundle and keeping the use of foreign-keys, cascading etc... ?
Thank you for all
If you wish to only generate the entities for your isolated bundle, you can do it.
Check documentation: http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/SensioGeneratorBundle/commands/generate_doctrine_entity.html
Are you planning to create your tables in the same database or in a differente database?
There is a project in Symfony, who want to remake using MVC. The project has controllers and twig patterns , it is only necessary to fasten model.In which Symfony project directory to properly create model files ? Is there anything in Symfony tool allows to do it , rather than just to create these files and to connect them to the controller ?
Use Symfony standard edition as your starting point. If you try to make something own without prior experience with code organization in Symfony you will make it only worse.
https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard
Standard edition above 2.8 version is pretty slim and doesn't force you to use everything if you don't need to.
If you need only "Model" classes then create them in src/AppBundle/Model and if you need Entities that will be persisted in database put them in src/AppBundle/Entity. Read about generation here http://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html I will help you started
I'm developing a web site with Symfony. I'm new on this framework. Before i used Laravel 5.0 and I need to have a database with rows.
I create my db with command prompt but now I don't find how to seed it.
There is a equivalent of Laravel seeders on Symfony?
No. Seeding was a feature added by Laravel. You’ll need to use a third-party package to load seeds/fixtures into your application: http://www.sitepoint.com/data-fixtures-symfony2/
All the answers here are a bit outdated and this question is the first result on google so for future readers:
Since Symfony 3 there is an official bundle for this very purpose
Installation: composer require --dev doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle
Then write your fixtures in src/DataFixtures and run php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load
Try this package https://packagist.org/packages/evotodi/seed-bundle. Looks like it's what you need.
Their readme
Symfony/Doctrine Seed Bundle
Used to load/unload seed data from the database. Example would be to load a table with a list of states and abbreviations, or populate the users table with initial admin user(s). Unlike the DoctrineFixturesBundle which is mainly for development this bundle is for seeding the database before the initial push to production.
I am to integrate sfGuard plugin with existing application. What I want to do is to keep as much code as possible untouched. Any guides? It'd be perfect if I can use actual database schema, or bind it somehow to be used by sfGuard. I know about setting userProfile class but I'm not sure how should I get to it, not to destroy my app.
Greetings
Just install plugin. And try make migrations. doctrine::generate-migrations-diff
php symfony doctrine:generate-migrations-diff
And migrate php symfony doctrine:migrate :
php symfony doctrine:migrate

I became responsible for a large legacy web application and I am trying to slowly refactor it into the Symfony2 framework. The first thing I have done is to include Doctrine.
I have installed Doctrine with the help of Composer and set up a bootstrap file for it. My entities, to avoid future complications, already follow the namespacing scheme Company\BundleName\Entity\Object. The following works:
$em->getRepository('Company\\BundleName\\Entity\\Object')
->find($id)
;
I was unable to find any reference of how to inform Doctrine of namespace aliases as Symfony2 does, so I can write
$em->getRepository('CompanyBundleName:Object')
->find($id)
;
instead. How can I achieve that?
There is an easier way now:
$config = Setup::createAnnotationMetadataConfiguration(...);
$config->addEntityNamespace('CompanyBundleName', 'Company\BundleName\Entity');
will do what you want. It took me several hours hunting to find this! Its not in the docs anywhere I could find.
The functionality for this is set up in Symfony2 by the DoctrineBridge bundle, specifically the getMappingDriverBundleConfigDefaults function.
If you want to reflect this functionality without Symfony2, you'll need to extend the Doctrine entity manager and generate the prefix yourself in the getRepository function. It is not part of the Doctrine system.
