Symfony2 Backend?

Question

I am new to Symfony, please don't scold me about this question.

I read in a Symfony 1.4 book that there is a functionality of adding backends to your applications via doctrine:generate-admin or generate:app backend, implementing CRUD operations.

Now I wonder, is there anything similiar with Symfony2.0?

Basically I have an user management and a database in the background that I would love to have available for my Admin Users, but do I have to code it myself (i.e. securing the are /admin, creating templates, classes, methods etc. that fulfill this tasks) or can it be done more easy by using some kind of an already existing backend functionality?

Thanks!

EDIT: Also read there's a plugin called "Apostophe" - but isn't there anything included with SF2 or are there any preconfigured SF2 Versions that already come with Backend solutions?

Answer 1

There's the SonataAdminBundle (and possibly a few more I haven't seen) that helps provide an admin system, however this area is still being worked on heavily by the Symfony2 community.

Lukas has put together a blog article on the current state of development of a Symfony2 CMF, with some rough timescales - State of the Symfony2 CMF

Hope this helps!
