        );
    }
    // ...

# app/config/routing.yml
admin:
    resource: '@SonataAdminBundle/Resources/config/routing/sonata_admin.xml'
    prefix: /
  
_sonata_admin:
    resource: .
    type: sonata_admin
    prefix: /

blast_core:
    resource: "@BlastCoreBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml" 
    prefix:   /admin

email:
    resource: "@LibrinfoEmailBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix: /admin

# app/config/config.yml
sonata_block:
    default_contexts: [cms]
    blocks:
        # Enable the SonataAdminBundle block
        sonata.admin.block.admin_list:
            contexts:   [admin]
        # Your other blocks

But please, refer to the source doc to get up-to-date : https://sonata-project.org/bundles/admin/2-3/doc/reference/installation.html

Just notice that the prefix value is / instead of /admin as advised by the Sonata Project... By the way, it means that this access is universal, and not a specific "backend" interface. That's a specificity of a software package that intends to be focused on professional workflows.

Don't forget to publish assets as some features of the bundle such as file upload rely heavily on javascript.

Add the custom form field template to your config.yml:

# app/config/config.yml
twig:
    debug: '%kernel.debug%'
    strict_variables: '%kernel.debug%'
    form_themes:
        - 'SonataCoreBundle:Form:datepicker.html.twig'
        - 'SonataCoreBundle:Form:colorpicker.html.twig'
        - 'BlastCoreBundle:Admin/Form:fields.html.twig'
        - 'BlastUtilsBundle:Form:fields.html.twig'
        - 'BlastBaseEntitiesBundle:Form:fields.html.twig'
        - 'LibrinfoMediaBundle:Form:fields.html.twig'

Spooling

You have to configure two mailers as follows in order to use the database spooling feature (one for direct sned, the other for spool send)

# app/config/config.yml

swiftmailer:
    default_mailer: direct_mailer
    mailers:
        direct_mailer:
            transport: "%mailer_transport%"
            host:      "%mailer_host%"
            username:  "%mailer_user%"
            password:  "%mailer_password%"
        spool_mailer:
            transport: "%mailer_transport%"
            host:      "%mailer_host%"
            username:  "%mailer_user%"
            password:  "%mailer_password%"
            spool: { type: db }

To flush the queue execute the command : $ app/console librinfo:spool:send

Don't hesitate executing the command with --help as it has more options than the swiftmailer:spool:send

Tracking

If you want to use the tracking functionalities, you need to add an access control rule to your security.yml that will allow anonymous users to access routes with the prefix '/tracking' like so:

# app/config/security.yml
access_control:
        # ...
        - { path: ^/tracking, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY } # allow access to tracking controller for anonymous users

That's it !
