Installation

1. Installation via composer is supported, simply run: php composer.phar require coolcsn/csn-user:dev-master. The installed module is located in ./vendor/coolcsn/csn-user.

2. Create Doctrine Proxy cache directory in APP_ROOT/data/DoctrineORMModule/Proxy. Be shure to grant write permissions.

3. Add CsnUser, DoctrineModule and DoctrineORMModule in your application configuration at: ./config/application.config.php. An example configuration may look like the following :

'modules' => array(
    'Application',
    'DoctrineModule',
    'DoctrineORMModule',
    'CsnUser'
)

Configuration

CsnUser requires setting up a Connection for Doctrine, a simple Mail configuration and importing a database schema.

1. Create a new database (or use an existing one, dedicated to your application).

2. Copy the sample Doctrine configuration from ./vendor/coolcsn/csn-user/config/doctrineorm.local.php.dist to ./config/autoload renaming it to doctrineorm.local.php. Edit the file, replacing the values (username, password, etc) with your personal database parameters.

3. Run ./vendor/bin/doctrine-module orm:schema-tool:create to generate the database schema. Import the sample SQL data (for some default data) located in ./vendor/coolcsn/CsnUser/data/SampleData.sql. You can easily do that with PhpMyAdmin for instance.

4. Copy the sample Mail configuration from ./vendor/coolcsn/csn-user/config/mail.config.local.php.dist to ./config/autoload renaming it to mail.config.local.php. Edit the file, replacing the values (host, username, etc) with your SMTP server parameters.

5. Append the contents of ./vendor/coolcsn/CsnUser/data/CsnUser.css to APP_ROOT/public/css/styles.css or include CsnUser.css into your app.

Options
