Template Details

This is a skeleton application that integrates the Gentelella Free Bootstrap 4 admin theme on the Symfony 6 framework, with frontend pages built using HTML and Bootstrap 4 for a responsive management interface. The project provides basic user account functionality, including an authentication system, a password reset email flow, and user/role CRUD based on Symfony forms and Ajax.

Beyond the account system, the repository also includes a blog management module (supporting CRUD, change history, and file upload access control for Writer and Editor roles), an FAQ module, and translation functionality. The July 2024 update introduced password rate limiting and changed role configuration to a "user profile" concept: first create a profile containing a set of roles, then associate it with a user, while retaining the option to assign roles directly to users.

The runtime environment requires PHP 8 or higher and a MySQL database; the PHP version recorded in composer.json is 8.2.4. The roadmap listed in the README includes a contacts module, faker dummy data generation, adding SEO fields to entities, and upgrading to Symfony 7; these are not yet complete and should not be treated as existing features.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
