Persistence

The CoreBundle lets you to centrally configure the persistence layer for all CMF bundles.

To make the PHPCR-ODM the default persistence layer for all CMF bundles add the following to your main configuration file:

  • YAML
    1

    # app/config/config.yml
cmf_core:
    persistence:
        phpcr: ~
  • XML
     1

    <!-- app/config/config.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" charset="UTF-8" ?>
<container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services">

    <config xmlns="http://cmf.symfony.com/schema/dic/core">
        <persistence>
            <phpcr />
        </persistence>
    </config>

</container>

    // app/config/config.php
$container->loadFromExtension('cmf_core', [
    'persistence' => [
        'phpcr' => [],
    ],
]);

Persisting Documents in Different Languages

Refer to the PHPCR-ODM documentation for details on persisting documents in different languages.

Choosing a Global Translation Strategy

PHPCR-ODM supports multiple different strategies for persisting translations in the repository. When combining Bundles its possible that one ends up with a mix of different strategies which can make providing a generic search across this data more complicated and might also be less efficient depending on the number of different languages used in the system.

For this purpose the CoreBundle provides a Doctrine listener that can optionally enforce a single translation strategy for all documents:

  • YAML
    1
2
3

    # app/config/config.yml
cmf_core:
    persistence:
        phpcr:
            translation_strategy: attribute
  • XML
     1

    <!-- app/config/config.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" charset="UTF-8" ?>
<container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services">

    <config xmlns="http://cmf.symfony.com/schema/dic/core">
        <persistence>
            <phpcr translation-strategy="attribute"/>
        </persistence>
    </config>

</container>
  • PHP

    // app/config/config.php
$container->loadFromExtension('cmf_core', [
    'persistence' => [
        'phpcr' => [
            'translation_strategy' => 'attribute',
        ],
    ],
]);

Caution

Changing this setting when data was already persisted with a different translation strategy will require manually updating the current data to match that of the chosen translation strategy.
