- Can I install fsi/admin-gallery-bundle in a Laravel application?
- No. It is a Symfony bundle and configuration shim for FSiAdminBundle and fsi/gallery-bundle, with no Laravel service provider, routing, or autoload compatibility. Composer is also likely to reject it because of its old Symfony and PHP constraints. Treat it as a domain reference only, not as a Laravel dependency.
- What does fsi/admin-gallery-bundle actually do?
- It provides FSiAdminBundle configuration for fsi/gallery-bundle, registering gallery admin routes, list and form definitions, and datasource wiring. It does not contain the gallery domain logic itself. It is glue code that requires the full FSiAdminBundle stack to function.
- Which Laravel and PHP versions are supported by fsi/admin-gallery-bundle?
- It supports no Laravel versions. The last release was in 2015 and targets the Symfony 2.x/3.x era with PHP 5.x/7.0-era Composer constraints. Modern PHP 8.x Laravel applications should not expect compatibility.
- How do you install and configure fsi/admin-gallery-bundle in Symfony?
- It is intended for an existing Symfony application already using FSiAdminBundle. You add the Composer dependency and register the bundle and configuration according to the FSi documentation. It also requires AdminBundle, DataSourceBundle, ResourceBundle, and fsi/gallery-bundle with their transitive dependencies.
- What are the best Laravel alternatives for admin gallery management?
- Use spatie/laravel-medialibrary for media handling together with Filament, Nova, or custom resource controllers for the admin layer. These options are actively maintained, PHP 8.x-compatible, and supported by existing Laravel communities. Build the gallery CRUD natively and wire file storage through Laravel's filesystem abstraction.
- Is fsi/admin-gallery-bundle maintained and safe for production?
- It is not actively maintained. It has 0 stars, 0 dependents, a last release date of 2015-03-10, and a very low package score. There is no security patch path or maintainer activity, so it should not be used in production.
- Can fsi/admin-gallery-bundle run on PHP 8 with Laravel 10 or Laravel 11?
- No. Its old Composer constraints will likely fail to resolve against modern PHP 8.x and current Symfony components. Do not force installation with --ignore-platform-reqs, because that trades a clean Composer failure for likely runtime failures. Use a Laravel-native gallery implementation instead.
- What data model should I use for a Laravel gallery replacing this bundle?
- Define albums and gallery items, or use medialibrary's media table, with fields for title, slug, sort order, file references, and publish status. Expose CRUD routes in your chosen admin panel and store files through Laravel's filesystem abstraction. This matches the practical gallery shape without carrying over Doctrine or FSiAdmin coupling.
- How much work is migrating from fsi/admin-gallery-bundle to Laravel?
- Migration should be a rebuild rather than a port. The bundle contains configuration rather than reusable gallery logic, so there is little to port line by line. A Laravel implementation typically means defining tables, adding CRUD routes, and wiring file storage, which is usually measured in days.
- Does fsi/admin-gallery-bundle work without FSiAdminBundle or fsi/gallery-bundle?
- No. It is configuration glue for those bundles and depends on their admin routes, datasource wiring, and gallery entities. Without the FSi stack it does not provide a usable gallery admin surface. For Laravel, implement the gallery domain model and admin CRUD natively.
