📋 Requirements

• Symfony 6.4+ / 7.0+

👩🏻‍🏭 Installation

Step 1: Install via Composer

composer require manuxi/sulu-testimonials-bundle

Step 2: Register the Bundle

If not using Symfony Flex, add to config/bundles.php:

return [
    // ...
    Manuxi\SuluTestimonialsBundle\SuluTestimonialsBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Step 3: Configure Routes

Add to config/routes/sulu_admin.yaml:

SuluTestimonialsBundle:
    resource: '@SuluTestimonialsBundle/Resources/config/routes_admin.yaml'

Step 4: Update Database

# Preview changes
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql

# Apply changes
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

Step 5: Build Admin Assets

cd assets/admin
npm install
npm run build

Admin JavaScript compatibility

The bundle contains JavaScript registrations for its testimonial field types. Importing sulu-testimonials-bundle is optional and is not required for the server-side routes, controllers, or templates.

If SuluAdminExtrasBundle is installed, use its JavaScript registration for the star-rating fields and do not additionally import sulu-testimonials-bundle. Both bundles register the star_rating field under the same key; importing both makes the Sulu Admin stop after login with:

Error: The key "star_rating" has already been used for another field

Step 6: Grant Permissions

1. Go to Settings → User Roles in Sulu Admin
2. Select the appropriate role
3. Enable permissions for Testimonials
4. Save and reload

🧶 Configuration

Create config/packages/sulu_testimonials.yaml:

sulu_testimonials:
    rating:
        max_value: 5            # 5 or 10 point scale
        default_value: 3        # Default rating for new testimonials
        use_star_symbols: true  # Show stars in admin dropdown
        use_star_widget: false  # Use interactive star widget (future)

See Configuration Documentation for all options.
