Quick example

Defining an Admin class is pretty easy: simply define configure[Show|Form|List|Datagrid]Fields methods

<?php
namespace Sonata\NewsBundle\Admin;

use Sonata\AdminBundle\Admin\Admin;
use Sonata\AdminBundle\Form\FormMapper;
use Sonata\AdminBundle\Datagrid\DatagridMapper;
use Sonata\AdminBundle\Datagrid\ListMapper;
use Sonata\AdminBundle\Show\ShowMapper;

class PostAdmin extends Admin
{
    public function configureShowFields(ShowMapper $showMapper)
    {
        $showMapper
            ->add('author')
            ->add('enabled')
            ->add('title')
            ->add('abstract')
            ->add('content')
            ->add('tags')
        ;
    }

    public function configureFormFields(FormMapper $formMapper)
    {
        $formMapper
            ->with('General')
                ->add('enabled', null, array('required' => false))
                ->add('author', 'sonata_type_model', array(), array('edit' => 'list'))
                ->add('title')
                ->add('abstract')
                ->add('content')
            ->end()
            ->with('Tags')
                ->add('tags', 'sonata_type_model', array('expanded' => true))
            ->end()
            ->with('Options', array('collapsed' => true))
                ->add('commentsCloseAt')
                ->add('commentsEnabled', null, array('required' => false))
            ->end()
        ;
    }

    public function configureListFields(ListMapper $listMapper)
    {
        $listMapper
            ->addIdentifier('title')
            ->add('author')
            ->add('enabled')
            ->add('tags')
            ->add('commentsEnabled')
        ;
    }

    public function configureDatagridFilters(DatagridMapper $datagridMapper)
    {
        $datagridMapper
            ->add('title')
            ->add('enabled')
            ->add('tags', null, array('filter_field_options' => array('expanded' => true, 'multiple' => true)))
        ;
    }
}
