Directory structure in Mapbender

app

This directory contains:

  • the php-Cache (var/cache)

  • the logs (var/log)

  • the configuration directory (config)

  • the application kernel (src/Kernel.php) (is called by the FrontendControllers and controlls the whole application)

  • the Autoloading (autoload.php)

  • the application specific resource directory (Resources)

  • the command line application for maintaining and management tasks (bin/console)

config

Basic configuration files of Mapbender are placed in the config directory and the config/packages directory. Two files are of particular importance:

  • parameters.yaml

  • packages/doctrine.yaml

More Information: YAML Configuration (Configuration and Application files).

config/applications

The directory config/applications contains all applications that are defined in a YAML file.

More Information: YAML Configuration (Configuration and Application files) .

bin

Here you find some libraries.

mapbender

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

mapbender/…../translations

Directory: mapbender/src/Mapbender/CoreBundle/Resources/translations/

The translations are stored in YAML-Dateien. Every language needs an YAML-file like messages.en.yaml for the English translation.

public

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

It controls:

  • index.php - the FrontendController (PHP script which can be called).

  • index_dev.php - FrontendController for easy access to the development environment. By default, it can only be accessed from local IP addresses.

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

public/bundles

  • storage for the static resources of the single bundles.

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

bin/console assets:install --symlink --relative public

  • Notice: If you use Windows, you cannot create symbolic links and therefore have to run the command (bin/console assets:install public) to copy the files to the directory after every change in the code.

src

  • directory for applications specific bundles

vendor

  • Directory for external libraries (loaded by composer) are placed. Resources are used by Symfony using the Autoloading.
