System Configuration

Filename

system_configuration.yml

Root Node

system_configuration

Options

The system_configuration.yml file defines all the configuration options a bundle exposes which can be modified by the user in the system settings menu.

The following example shows a complete working configuration taken from the system_configuration.yml file of the ActivityListBundle from OroPlatform:

api_tree

type: map

The api_tree block is used to define which configuration options will be configurable through the API. Nested maps can be used to create logical groups of options:

1system_configuration:
2    api_tree:
3        activity_list:
4            oro_activity_list.sorting_field: ~
5            oro_activity_list.sorting_direction: ~
6            oro_activity_list.per_page: ~
7        email_threads:
8            oro_activity_list.grouping: ~

fields

type: map

This option specifies the list of Configuration keys the bundle provides. Each key is the name of a Configuration option. For each key you have to pass a map that describes how the option can be configured by the user. The available options for each key are:

data_type

type: string

The type of data that can be stored as the option value. Supported data types are array, boolean, or string.

options

type: map

The form type options. The options being available depend on the actual form type.

type

type: string

The name of the form type that will be rendered in the user interface to change the option value.

groups

type: map

You can use this option to create configuration groups. The system_configuration.yml files of all bundles can refer to any group defined by any bundle to structure trees of config options. The following options exist to define a group:

icon

type: string

The name of a Font Awesome Icon (prefixed with the string icon-) that will be displayed next to the group name.

page_reload

type: boolean (default: false)

By default, JavaScript is used to open a group in the configuration tree. Set this option to true to force a full page reload.

title

type: string

The name of the group. The configured string will be translated before being displayed in the user interface.

tree

type: map

This option creates a hierarchical tree of configuration options as they will be presented in the user interface. Each key of the map refers to either the name of a group or the name of a configuration option. The values are maps that configure how each node is rendered in the UI. Available options for each node are:

children

type: list|map

The names of child nodes (fields or groups) mapped to their configuration. This option is only available when the current node is a group.

priority

type: integer default: 0

The trees from the configuration files of all bundles will be merged into one large tree. The priority option can be used to control the order in which nodes from different configuration files will be merged into the final tree. Nodes with a higher priority are shown first.
