Symfony 1.2 + admin generator + jquery layout plugin

After a couple of weeks i decided to write another post about Symfony 1.2 and jQuery. This simple tutorial shows you how integrate jQuery layout plugin, jQuery accordion widget for navigation and Symfony admin generator.
Symfony offers nice and powerfull admin generator feature. After rewriting in version 1.2 it uses form and filter framework which makes it really easy and customizable. For more details you need to check admin generator documentation .

“JQuery Layout plug-in was inspired by the extJS border-layout, and recreates that functionality as a jQuery plug-in. The UI.Layout plug-in can create any UI look you want - from simple headers or sidebars, to a complex application with toolbars, menus, help-panels, status bars, sub-forms, etc.”

What i really like about the admin generator is its… generator feature. After a couple of minutes we have all the basic actions for our models. We can also add custom actions and modify templates. The missing component for me is navigation. We can create some simple navigation between modules alone, we can also use nice Symfony plugin: sfAdminDashPlugin or jQuery plugin: layout. The picture below shows the final result of what i’m going to do in this tutorial.
