But is not all perfect, some of the function used in the tutorial are deprecated and will not work.
I found another blog were some of the issues are solved:
http://donna-oberes.blogspot.com/2013/09/symfony-2-symblog-tutorial-errors.html
Please see below a list comments that you help you finish the tutorial successfully.
I hope this blog post will help some fellows lost in the path of learning Symfony 2.
1. In controller repalce "bindRequest()" deprecated function with "bind()"
public function contactAction()
{
$enquiry = new Enquiry();
$form = $this->createForm(new EnquiryType(), $enquiry);
$request = $this->getRequest();
if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
$form->bind($request);
2. I stoled this from a comment on the Symblog website:
FYI for symfony2.3 (and 2.4) users:
{% if app.session.hasFlash('blogger-notice') %}
<div class="blogger-notice">
{{ app.session.flash('blogger-notice') }}
</div>
{% endif %}
needs to be changed to
{% for flashMessage in app.session.flashbag.get('blogger-notice') %}
<div class="blogger-notice">
{{ flashMessage }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
Also you need to change the “setFlash” in PageController to call “getFlashBag()->add”
3. Doctrine basic usage in official documentation:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/doctrine.html
4. In BlogController:
DEPRECATED - getEntityManager is deprecated since Symfony 2.1. Use getManager instead
Change path to images in show.htmltwig. it should point to specific bundle folder in the public "web" folder:
<img src="{{ asset(['bundles/bloggerblog/images/', blog.image]|join) }}
5. Doctrine migrations
http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/DoctrineMigrationsBundle/index.html
$ composer require doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle "^1.0"
In AppKernel.php you need to change this
new Symfony\Bundle\DoctrineMigrationsBundle\DoctrineMigrationsBundle() //old path
with this
new Doctrine\Bundle\MigrationsBundle\DoctrineMigrationsBundle()
