Extending Sonata User Bundle and adding new fields [closed]
1. Create a new bundle
Something like AcmeUserBundle. Create it and register it as you do normally.
2. Create a new User entity
Then create a User
and Group
entity which extends Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseUser
and Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseGroup
. You should also add the configuration for the primary key, for instance:
/*** @ORM\Entity* @ORM\Table(name="fos_user")*/class User extends BaseUser{ /** * @ORM\Id * @ORM\Column(type="integer") * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO") */ protected $id;}
3. Configure the entity
then, go to your app/config/config.yml
file and configure these new entities:
sonata_user: class: user: Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User group: Acme\UserBundle\Entity\Group
4. Override the UserAdmin class
Then, you need to create a new UserAdmin class. To do this, just create a new UserAdmin
class inside your bundle, extend Sonata\UserBundle\Admin\Model\UserAdmin
and override the methods like this:
namespace Acme\UserBundle\Admin;use Sonata\UserBundle\Admin\Model\UserAdmin as SonataUserAdmin;class UserAdmin extends SonataUserAdmin{ /** * {@inheritdoc} */ protected function configureFormFields(FormMapper $formMapper) { parent::configureFormFields($formMapper); $formMapper ->with('new_section') ->add(...) // ... ->end() ; }}
5. Replace the old UserAdmin class
Then, you need to make sure Sonata uses the new UserAdmin class. You just need to set the sonata.user.admin.user.class
parameter to your new class and your ready!
# app/config/config.ymlparameters: sonata.user.admin.user.class: Acme\UserBundle\Admin\UserAdmin
I found out the issue was a doctrine issue. My extended bundle was utilizing the original xml field mappings. I deleted those files and reverted to annotations. Everything worked brilliantly from there. I hope this helps someone else who is experiencing the same issue.
This is easy, yet the SonataUserBundle
documentation is pretty short on this. Basically, after setting up the two bundles as described here and here:
You need to create a class to extend the Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseUser
class in SonataUserBundle
. Note that if you override the constructor, you still must call the parent object's constructor.
namespace Your\Bundle\Entity;use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager;use Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseUser as BaseUser;/** * @ORM\Entity * @ORM\Table(name="user",indexes={@ORM\Index(name="username_idx", columns={"username"})}) */class User extends BaseUser { public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); // your code here } /** * @ORM\Column(type="string") */ protected $firstName = ""; public function getFirstName() { return $this->firstName; } public function setFirstName($firstName) { $this->firstName = $firstName; }}
If you need to, you can also override the Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseGroup
object in a similar way.
Then, edit your config.yml
to match your namespaces, like this
# FOS User Bundle Configurationfos_user: user_class: Your\Bundle\Entity\User # To also override the Group object # group: # group_class: Your\Bundle\Entity\Group# Sonata User Bundle configurationsonata_user: class: user: Your\Bundle\Entity\User # To also override the Group object # group: Your\Bundle\Entity\Group
Clear the cache. Your entities will be used instead of the built-in ones.
