[CmfCreateBundle] - How to create new documents?

[Emanuele Iannone]

Hi,

I'm able to edit existing documents using WYSIWYG editors and REST calls offered by this bundle, but I cannot find any information in documentation about creating new documents.

What is the correct way to do this? 

Looking at the bundle source code I see a postDocumentAction in the RestController, which is supposed to be used for creating new documents, but I cannot find any example of using it.

I wonder also if it's possible to use the same twig template both for editing existing documents and creating new ones.

If try to pass a new object to a twig template in the {% createphp %} tag, I get the error: "Document is not managed and has no id".

If I try to pass null, I get the error "The model to create the entity from must be a class".

So, how I can tell CreatePHP that I want to create a new document?

Thank you

We never really got around to pushing the idea of creating new content via create.js.

There was a PR started ages ago with the aim if allowing creating of new pages:
https://github.com/symfony-cmf/CreateBundle/pull/24
https://github.com/symfony-cmf/cmf-sandbox/pull/143

So at any rate .. this was never finished and it could mean that this feature is simply broken ..

note that the pull request was trying to create a new page with its own
route, before routing auto bundle existed. with routing auto it should
be a lot simpler now.

or we could start with creating blocks inside a container block that
need no additional documents to be created at all.

it would be awesome if you can look into this emanuele. i wanted to look
into it so many times but in the end there was always something more
urgent... the createjs side is already a bit sparse, so a PR to the
sandbox where we can try to add blocks and see the failure you see would
already be progress.

The idea of having a parent container that already sets the rules for a new content might really make things easier.
