How to use mailer in FOSUserBundle without registration? - php

Question

I have created a form for an entity Event with user's fields like "email" and "password" what I use to create a user manually in the controller.
I can create the event and the user without problems, but I need to send a confirmation mail to enable the user. I can do it from the normal registration form, but here I don't know how to do it.
Sorry if my english isn't very good. I'm learning it.
The controller:
class EventController extends Controller
{
public function ajaxAction(Request $request) {
if (! $request->isXmlHttpRequest()) {
throw new NotFoundHttpException();
}
// Get the province ID
$id = $request->query->get('category_id');
$result = array();
// Return a list of cities, based on the selected province
$repo = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager()->getRepository('CASEventBundle:Subcategory');
$subcategories = $repo->findByCategory($id, array('category' => 'asc'));
foreach ($subcategories as $subcategory) {
$result[$subcategory->getName()] = $subcategory->getId();
}
return new JsonResponse($result);
}
public function indexAction(Request $request) {
$lead = new Lead();
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$user = $this->getUser();
if(is_object($user)) {
$promotor = $em->getRepository('CASUsuariosBundle:Promotor')->find($user);
if (is_object($promotor)) {
$form = $this->createForm(new EventType($this->getDoctrine()->getManager()), $lead);
$template = "CASEventBundle:Default:event.html.twig";
$isPromotor = true;
}
} else {
$form = $this->createForm(new LeadType($this->getDoctrine()->getManager()), $lead);
$template = "CASEventBundle:Default:full_lead.html.twig";
$isPromotor = false;
}
if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
$form->bind($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
if($isPromotor === true) {
$type = $promotor->getType();
$name = $user->getName();
$lastname = $user->getLastName();
$email = $user->getEmail();
$password = $user->getPassword();
$phone = $user->getPhone();
$company = $promotor->getCompany();
$lead->setEventType($type);
$lead->setPromotorName($name);
$lead->setPromotorLastName($lastname);
$lead->setPromotorEmail($email);
$lead->setPromotorPhone($phone);
$lead->setPromotorCompany($company);
}
$emailReg = $form->get('promotorEmail')->getData();
$passwordReg = $form->get('promotorPassword')->getData();
$nameReg = $form->get('promotorName')->getData();
$typeReg = $form->get('promotorType')->getData();
$lastnameReg = $form->get('promotorLastName')->getData();
$phoneReg = $form->get('promotorPhone')->getData();
$companyReg = $form->get('promotorCompany')->getData();
if(!empty($emailReg) && !empty($passwordReg)) {
$userManager = $this->get('fos_user.user_manager');
$newUser = $userManager->createUser();
$newPromotor = new Promotor();
$newUser->setUsername($emailReg);
$newUser->setEmail($emailReg);
$newUser->setName($nameReg);
$newUser->setLastname($lastnameReg);
$newUser->setPhone($phoneReg);
$newUser->setIsPromotor(true);
$encoder = $this->container->get('security.password_encoder');
$encoded = $encoder->encodePassword($newUser, strval($passwordReg));
$newUser->setPassword($encoded);
$userManager->updateUser($newUser);
$newPromotor->setType($typeReg);
$newPromotor->setCompany($companyReg);
$newPromotor->setIdPromotor($newUser);
$em->persist($newUser);
$em->persist($newPromotor);
$em->persist($lead);
$em->flush();
//return $response;
}
$em->persist($lead);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('CASEventBundle_create'));
}
}
return $this->render($template, array('form' => $form->createView()));
}
}

you could just create a confirmation token yourself and set it to the not yet active user, send him a mail using swift wich contains a link to confirm like :
$confiToken = "123";
$url="http://url.com/confirm/$confiToken";
$user->setConfirmationToken($confiToken);
$message = $mailer->createMessage()
->setSubject('Confirm registration')
->setFrom('from#mail.com')
->setTo($sendTo)
->setBody(
$this->renderView(
'Bundle:Email:confirm.html.twig',
array(
'headline' => "Confirm your registration",
"sendTo"=>$sendTo,
"name"=>false,
"date"=>$date,
"message"=>"here ist your confirmationlink ".$url." "
)
),
'text/html'
);
$mailer->send($message);
when the user clicks the link in the email you can manually generate the token and set the user active:
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\UsernamePasswordToken;
...
$user=$em->getRepository("Bundle:User")->findOneByConfirmationToken($token);
if(!$user || $user->isEnabled()){
throw $this->createNotFoundException("link out of date");
}else {
$user->setEnabled(true);
$token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, null, 'main', $user->getRoles());
$this->get('security.context')->setToken($token);
$this->get('session')->set('_security_main',serialize($token));
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('core_customer_dashboard'));
}
