Folder for this documentation.

Directory of the FOM submodule.

mapbender

Directory of the Mapbender submodule. Provides the mapbender-specific bundles and the Mapbender code.

mapbender/…../translations

The translations are stored in XLIFF textfiles. Every language needs an xliff-file like messages.en.xlf for the English translation.

owsproxy

Directory of the OWSProxy submodule.

vendor

Directory for external libraries (loaded by composer) and further Mapbender modules (a.o. Digitizer, Mapbender-Icons).

web

This directory has to be published by the webserver. The ALIAS has to refer to this directory.

It controls:

  • the FrontendController (PHP-Script, which can be called). These are app.php for the productive-system and app_dev.php for the development version. The development version contains the profiler for perfomance tests and more.

  • this directory contains the static resoures like css, js, favicon etc.

web/bundles

  • here the static resources of the single bundles are stored.

  • the following command copies the resources from the bundles to the folder.

app/console assets:install --symlink web

  • Notice: if you use Windows you can’t create symbolic links and therefore you have to run the command (app/console assets:install web) after every change in the code to copy the files to the directory.

src

  • directory for applications specific bundles (similar to the former x-directories in Mapbender 2.x)

vendor

  • directory where all the Bundles which are used from Symfony are found. Resources are used by Symfony using the Autoloading.
