  1. Creating your entity/document

for orm:

<?php
namespace MyBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use SIP\NewsBundle\Entity\News as BaseNews;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="content_news")
 */
class News extends BaseNews
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * Get id
     *
     * @return integer
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}

for mongodb:

<?php
namespace MyBundle\Document;

use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as MongoDB;
use SIP\NewsBundle\Document\News as BaseNews;

/**
 * @MongoDB\Document(collection="content_news")
 */
class News extends BaseNews
{
    /**
     * @MongoDB\Id
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * Get id
     *
     * @return integer
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}
  1. Updating database schema(only for orm)
$ php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force

This should be done only in dev environment! We recommend using Doctrine migrations(only for orm), to safely update your schema.

  1. Importing routing configuration
SIPNewsBundle:
    resource: '@SIPNewsBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml'
    prefix:   /news
  1. Configuration:

for orm:

# app/config/config.yml
sip_news:
    model: MyBundle\Entity\News
    # All Default configuration:
    # controller: SIP\\NewsBundle\\Controller\\NewsController
    # manager_type: orm
    # repository: Sylius\Bundle\ResourceBundle\Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository
    # admin: SIP\NewsBundle\Admin\NewsAdmin

for mongodb:

# app/config/config.yml
sip_news:
    model: MyBundle\Document\SIP\News
    # controller: SIP\\NewsBundle\\Controller\\NewsController
    manager_type: mongodb
    repository: SIP\ResourceBundle\Repository\ODM\MongoDB\DocumentRepository
    # admin: SIP\NewsBundle\Admin\NewsAdmin
  1. Templates

The bundle requires show.html and list.html templates. Easiest way to override the view is placing it here app/Resources/SIPNewsBundle/views/News/index.html.twig app/Resources/SIPNewsBundle/views/News/item.html.twig app/Resources/SIPNewsBundle/views/News/main_index.html.twig.

  1. Usage

Show news on main page:

Controller:

<?php

namespace MyBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class MainController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
     */
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $recentNews = $this
            ->getNewsRepository()
            ->findBy(array('onMain' => 1), array('date' => 'desc'), 8);

        return $this->render('MyBundle:Main:index.html.twig',
            array('recentNews'     => $recentNews));
    }
}

Template(index.html.twig):

...
<div class="fluid-row" style="overflow: hidden;">
    {% for news in recentNews %}

    <div class="span3 well well-small">
        <a href="{{ path('sip_news_news_item', {'slug': news.slug})}}" class="thumbnail" style="width: 130px; height: 75px;">
            {% media news.image, 'normal' %}
        </a>
        <hr />

        <h4>
            <a href="{{ path('sip_news_news_item', {'slug': news.slug})}}">
                {{ news.title|slice(0, 20) }}...
            </a>
        </h4>

        <p>{{ news.description|slice(0, 50)|raw }}...</p>
        <p><a href="{{ path('sip_news_news_item', {'slug': news.slug})}}" class="btn pull-right">Read more</a>
    </div>

    {% if loop.index % 4 == 0 %}
</div>
<div class="fluid-row">
    {% endif %}

    {% endfor %}
</div>
