sugarbox part 3

routing.yml

homepage:
pattern: /
defaults: { _controller: FrameworkBundle:Default:index }

blog:
resource: BlogBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml

From the first line(homepage), it's clear that, the URL http://localhost/sugarbox/web/index.php/ goes to the 'Default' controller in 'FrameworkBundle' and point to the 'index' action. It shows this in your browser:

Congratulations!
You have successfully created a new Symfony 2 application.
So check it yourself. You can give any name instead of homepage.

The second(blog), point to another routing file inside src/Application/BlogBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml

it goes like this:

blog:
pattern: /blog
defaults: { _controller: BlogBundle:Blog:index }

blog_new:
pattern: /blog/new
defaults: { _controller: BlogBundle:Blog:new }

so when a request like this http://localhost/sugarbox/web/index.php/blog points to 'Blog' controller in 'BlogBundle' and 'index' action. This outputs this:

Blog Application
Hello Blog index!

Http://localhost/sugarbox/web/index.php/blog/new points to 'Blog' controller in 'BlogBundle' and 'new' action. This outputs this:

Beware: we can't save the post now. So by clicking submit button make no sense!

In your terminal go to sugarbox directory
$ cd sugarbox
