Do you know the situation wanting to extend a Symfony Application with CMS features? You just created a brand new Symfony application from scratch and intend to add CMS functionality. Of course there are many ready to use CMS on the market, Wordpress, Typo3 just to name e few. But what about the overhead? Your installation comes with a bulk of features not needed in your application. And all that only to create a few static pages. But there is a way out. My talk is about a simple way to add dynamic routes to the standard static Symfony routing, I will introduce you to administration and editing of static pages, and there is even SEO support to add...
