Sonataadminbundle: Multiple admin section for same entity

I have entity class Page with column type=integer. When I do:

   <service id="sonata.admin.pages" class="Main\ProgramBundle\Admin\PageAdmin">
      <tag name="sonata.admin" manager_type="orm" group="dashboard" label="Pages"/>
      <argument />
      <argument>Main\ProgramBundle\Entity\Page</argument>
      <argument>SonataAdminBundle:CRUD</argument>
  </service>


   <service id="sonata.admin.groups" class="Main\ProgramBundle\Admin\GroupAdmin">
      <tag name="sonata.admin" manager_type="orm" group="stories" label="Groups"/>
      <argument />
      <argument>Main\ProgramBundle\Entity\Page</argument>
      <argument>SonataAdminBundle:CRUD</argument>
  </service>

In short, both sections work on same entity except that each have different queries and forms.

But what happens is that sonata always executes Admin/GroupAdmin, even if I select PageAdmin. How to do this?

Solution

  • I don't have enough reputation to add a comment to the previous answer, but it is missing the following information:

    You also need to define a unique $baseRouteName value in addition to $baseRoutePattern in your admin classes:

    protected $baseRouteName = 'admin_vendor_bundlename_adminclassname';

protected $baseRoutePattern = 'unique-route-pattern';

    You only need to do this to one class, but consider doing it in both to keep it clear what's going on.
