enabled

type: bool default: false

If true, the admin classes and extensions of this package are loaded and available for Sonata Admin.

Tip

If you do not see this admin on the Sonata dashboard, you need to configure the dashboard to show the admin service in question. Read more about this in the Sonata Admin documentation.

Each admin service name follows the naming pattern cmf_sonata_phpcr_admin_integration.block.<type>_admin. For example, the slideshow admin service is called cmf_sonata_phpcr_admin_integration.block.slideshow_admin.

basepath

type: string default: first value of cmf_block.persistence.phpcr.block_basepaths

The path at which to create blocks with Sonata admin when you don't attach them to documents.

form_group

type: string default: form.group_metadata

The name of the form group to use in the admin extension.

The caption for the group is determined by translating the group name. If you change the group, be sure to also define a translation for it.

form_tab

type: string default: form.tab_general

The name of the form tab to use in the admin extension.

The caption for the tab is determined by translating the tab name. If you change the tab name, be sure to also define a translation for it.

Using the extension

To activate the extension in your admin classes, define the extension configuration in the sonata_admin section of your project configuration.

Assuming your blocks extend the BaseBlock class (as all blocks provided by the CMF BlockBundle do), you can add the following lines to your sonata admin configuration:
