Installation

Installation is a quick 6 step process:

1. Download MremiContactBundle using composer
2. Enable the Bundle
3. Create your Contact class (optional)
4. Configure the MremiContactBundle
5. Import MremiContactBundle routing
6. Update your database schema (optional)

Step 1: Download MremiContactBundle using composer

Add MremiContactBundle in your composer.json:

Now tell composer to download the bundle by running the command:

Composer will install the bundle to your project's vendor/mremi directory.

Step 2: Enable the bundle

Enable the bundle in the kernel:

Step 3: Create your Contact class (optional)

The goal of this bundle is not to persist some Contact class to a database, but you can if you want just by setting the store_data parameter to true (default false). So if you don't need to do this, you can jump to the next step.

Your first job, then, is to create the Contact class for your application. This class can look and act however you want: add any properties or methods you find useful. This is your Contact class.

The bundle provides base classes which are already mapped for most fields to make it easier to create your entity. Here is how you use it:

1. Extend the base Contact class from the Entity folder
2. Map the id field. It must be protected as it is inherited from the parent class.

Note:

For now, only Doctrine ORM is handled by this bundle (any PR will be appreciated :) ).

Step 4: Configure the MremiContactBundle

The bundle comes with a sensible default configuration, which is listed below. However you have to configure at least a recipient address.

mremi_contact.email.from allows you to set the From address of the message:

mremi_contact.email.to allows you to set the To address of the message:

You can also configure your favorite captcha. You have to install it by yourself and configure it here. You can get one from these bundles:

• GenemuFormBundle
• EWZRecaptchaBundle
• CaptchaBundle

Or even implement your own.

Step 5: Import MremiContactBundle routing

Now that you have activated and configured the bundle, all that is left to do is import the MremiContactBundle routing file.

By importing the routing file you will have ready access the contact form.

In YAML:

Or if you prefer XML:

Note:

In order to use the built-in email functionality, you must activate and configure the SwiftmailerBundle.

Step 6: Update your database schema (optional)

If you configured the data storage (step 3), you can now update your database schema.

If you want to first see the create table query:

Then you can run it:

You can now access to the contact form at http://example.com/app_dev.php/contact!

Note:

If your are in debug mode (see your front controller), the HTML5 validation can be disabled by adding ?novalidate=1 to the URL.

Customization

Templating

If you want to customize some parts of this bundle (views for instance), read the Symfony documentation.

Events

The contact controller dispatches 3 events during the index action:

1. ContactEvents::FORM_INITIALIZE occurs when the form is initialized
2. ContactEvents::FORM_SUCCESS occurs when the form is submitted successfully
3. ContactEvents::FORM_COMPLETED occurs after saving the contact in the contact form process

Each one allows you to customize the default workflow provided by this bundle.
