SonataAdminBundle : display non crud (statistics)


I'm using sonata admin bundle to generate my backend, I'm so happy with it that I would like to use my backend to display statistics as well.

I guess I can do that by tweaking bundle's views, "standard_layout.html.twig" maybe.

Problem is, I can't find examples or even people speaking about it, so I'm wondering, is that possible ? Aren't people speaking about it because it's too simple ? Did you do it ?

I really would like to have a single backend, so pls enlighten me !


Solution

  • Since pulzarraider explained us one way to do this I'll explain the other.

    The block bundle's way allow to custom the dashboard in a pretty powerful way. You can follow Block bundle doc at the same time

    1. Create StatisticsBlockService.php in Copndz\MyBundle\Block\Service

    I want to display stats by doing maths with data stored : I need to

    namespace Copndz\MyBundle\Block\Service;
    use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
    use Sonata\AdminBundle\Form\FormMapper;
    use Sonata\AdminBundle\Validator\ErrorElement;
    use Sonata\BlockBundle\Model\BlockInterface;
    use Sonata\BlockBundle\Block\BaseBlockService;
    use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager;
    
    class StatisticsBlockService extends BaseBlockService
    {
        private $em;
        
        /**
         * {@inheritdoc}
         */
        public function execute(BlockInterface $block, Response $response = null)
        {
            $settings = array_merge($this->getDefaultSettings(), $block->getSettings());
            
            $myentityrepository = $this->em->getRepository('CopndzMyBundle:MyEntity');
            $myentity = $myentityrepository->find('5');
            
            return $this->renderResponse('CopndzMyBundle:Block:block_statistics.html.twig', array(
                'block'     => $block,
                'settings'  => $settings,
                'myentity' => $myentity,   
            ), $response);
        }
    
        /**
         * {@inheritdoc}
         */
        public function validateBlock(ErrorElement $errorElement, BlockInterface $block)
        {
            // TODO: Implement validateBlock() method.
        }
    
        /**
         * {@inheritdoc}
         */
        public function buildEditForm(FormMapper $formMapper, BlockInterface $block)
        {
            $formMapper->add('settings', 'sonata_type_immutable_array', array(
                'keys' => array(
                    array('content', 'textarea', array()),
                )
            ));
        }
    
        /**
         * {@inheritdoc}
         */
        public function getName()
        {
            return 'Text (core)';
        }
    
        /**
         * {@inheritdoc}
         */
        public function getDefaultSettings()
        {
            return array(
                'content' => 'Insert your custom content here',
            );
        }
        
        public function __construct($name, $templating, EntityManager $entityManager)
        {
                parent::__construct($name, $templating);
                $this->em = $entityManager;
        }
    }
    

    2. Create the service in MyBundle\Ressources\config\services.yml

     sonata.block.service.statistics:
          class: Copndz\MyBundle\Block\Service\StatisticsBlockService
          tags:
            - { name: sonata.block }
          arguments:
            - "sonata.block.service.statistics"
            - @templating
            - @doctrine.orm.entity_manager
    

    3. Add this service to sonata_block in my config.yml

    sonata_block:
        default_contexts: [cms]
        blocks:
            sonata.admin.block.admin_list:
                contexts:   [admin]
    
            sonata.block.service.text:
            sonata.block.service.rss:
            sonata.block.service.statistics:
    

    4. Create the template block_statistics.html.twig in Copndz\MyBundle\Ressources\views\Block

    {% extends sonata_block.templates.block_base %}
    
    {% block block %}
        {{ myentity.name }}
    {% endblock %}
    

    5. And finally call the service in the admin bundle configuration in config.yml

    sonata_admin:
        dashboard:
            blocks:
                # display a dashboard block
                - { position: left, type: sonata.admin.block.admin_list }
                - { position: right, type: sonata.block.service.statistics }
