Menu for custom bundle doesn't show up

I’ve been following two different tutorials but when I open the page at localhost, I only see a the toolbar on top but no menu entries, just a blank content.
These are my steps:

• git clone https://github.com/orocrm/platform-application.git oro-demo
• cd oro-demo
• create a mysql database with a name of your choice
• php composer.phar install –prefer-dist –no-dev
• enter the mysql credentials to connect to the database and the name of the database you’ve created
• php app/console oro:install –env prod
• php app/console generate:bundle –namespace=Ortic/DemoBundle
• specify yml as your configuration format and confirm everything else
• create a new file at src/Ortic/DemoBundle/Resources/config called navigation.yml and put the following content in it

oro_menu_config: items: ortic_tab: label: 'Ortic' uri: '#' extras: position: 10 ortic_hello: label: 'Demo' route: 'ortic_oro_homepage' extras: routes: ['ortic_oro_homepage_*'] tree: application_menu: children: ortic_tab: children: ortic_hello: ~ oro_titles: ortic_oro_homepage: Demo

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

oro_menu_config:    items:       ortic_tab:          label: 'Ortic'          uri: '#'          extras:             position: 10       ortic_hello:          label: 'Demo'          route: 'ortic_oro_homepage'          extras:             routes: ['ortic_oro_homepage_*']    tree:       application_menu:          children:             ortic_tab:                children:                   ortic_hello: ~ oro_titles:    ortic_oro_homepage: Demo

• in the same directory, open routing.yml and replace it with this content:

ortic_oro_homepage: resource: "@OrticDemoBundle/Controller" type: annotation prefix: /ortic

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

ortic_oro_homepage:      resource: "@OrticDemoBundle/Controller"      type: annotation      prefix: /ortic

• modify the controller to match this:

<?php namespace Ortic\DemoBundle\Controller; use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route; class DefaultController extends Controller { /** * @Route( * "/{_format}", * name="ortic_oro_homepage", * requirements={"_format"="html|json"}, * defaults={"_format" = "html"} * ) */ public function indexAction($name) { return $this->render('OrticDemoBundle:Default:index.html.twig', array('name' => $name)); } }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

<?php   namespace Ortic\DemoBundle\Controller;   use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;   class DefaultController extends Controller {     /**      * @Route(      *   "/{_format}",      *   name="ortic_oro_homepage",      *   requirements={"_format"="html|json"},      *   defaults={"_format" = "html"}      * )      */     public function indexAction($name)     {         return $this->render('OrticDemoBundle:Default:index.html.twig', array('name' => $name));     } }

• php app/console oro:navigation:init
• php app/console cache:clear –env=prod

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks!

Hello @remo_laubacher !

I’ve tried to follow yours step by step guide and it works fine for me !
Did you reload page via “F5” or change page via JS navigation ?
Did you check in prod env or dev ? You cleared caches for prod, so it’s possible to be outdated for dev.

[Remo LaubacherParticipant]

Reloaded, changed browser, restarted webserver, cleared caches for dev, prod and whatever else I could find. I just get a toolbar and a white background, only “My User”, “My Emails” etc. are there but even those don’t work. When I click on them the background changes to a slightly gray colour but that’s it. No luck..

[Alexandr SmagaParticipant]

Hm… Could you please check log files ? It more looks like PHP error during menu generation.

[Remo LaubacherParticipant]

PHP, Apache and app/logs files are all empty. Any suggestions where I should start debugging?

[JaimyParticipant]

Hi Remo,

Do you have xDebug enabled? If so, try upping the xdebug.max_nesting_level to 1000 or so. I’ve encountered this problem after I updated to Yosemite with Apache 2.4.9. Hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Jaimy Casteleijn

[Remo LaubacherParticipant]

Thanks Jaimy, that works like a charm! Would have expected to see a log entry for such this problem, but it definitely helps!

[JaimyParticipant]

Hi Remo,

It took me 2 days to finally find the solution ;) For some reason it doesn’t show immediately, but only displays at a certain level (couldn’t reproduce it unfortunately :<).
Still glad it helped!

Kind Regards,

Jaimy Casteleijn

[Remo LaubacherParticipant]

yeah, not exactly my first thought to increase the nesting level ;-) Might be worth adding a check during the installation process..?

[JaimyParticipant]

Didn’t expect it either, but I might be worth it to add it in the installation process or notes. I’ll leave that to the Oro team. I think it’s a rather good suggestion, let’s hope they like it as well :)

Kind Regards,

Jaimy Casteleijn

I’ve got the same problem: I created a new bundle without updating kernel and routes, following all the Cookbook instructions, but I cannot see anything I defined into navigation.yml file of my bundle.
Did you find a solution for this issue?

[Yurii MuratovParticipant]

Hi, @stebcom.
Please copy and paste here your navigation.yml file.

[stebcomParticipant]

Now it’s working! I didn’t make any changes actually, maybe the cache was not completely refreshed when I tried the other day. I don’t know why, because I always checked after executing

Shell

php app/console cache:clear

1	php app/console cache:clear

Thanks anyway!
