SwiftMailer calling an undefined method - php

Question

I have an error trying to use SwiftMailer with Symfony.
I'm following a tutorial from here: http://symblog.site90.net/docs/validators-and-forms.html
The error code is:
FatalErrorException: Error: Call to undefined method Swift_Message::setMessage() in C:\xampp\htdocs\TP\src\TP\MainBundle\Controller\DefaultController.php line 327
My action is:
public function newAction()
{
$contacto = new Contacto();
$form = $this->createForm(new ContactoType(), $contacto);
$request = $this->getRequest();
if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
$form->bind($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
$message = \Swift_Message::newInstance()
->setFrom('enquiries#myweb.com.ar')
->setTo($this->container->getParameter('tp_main.emails.contact_email'))
//this is the line 327 related with the error
->setMessage($this->renderView('TPMainBundle:Default:contactEmail.txt.twig', array('contacto' => $contacto)));
//
$this->get('mailer')->send($message);
$this->get('session')->setFlash('blogger-notice', 'Your contact enquiry was successfully sent. Thank you!');
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('contacto_new'));
}
}
return $this->render('TPMainBundle:Default:contact.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),));}
The error says it's undefined but,
my method setMessage() is defined in my class Contacto.php with getter and setter :
/**
* #var string
*
* #ORM\Column(name="message", type="text")
*/
private $message;
/**
* Set message
*
* #param string $message
* #return Contacto
*/
public function setMessage($message)
{
$this->message = $message;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get message
*
* #return string
*/
public function getMessage()
{
return $this->message;
}
According on what I read trying to solve it myself, could the problem be related to the versions of SwiftMailer ?
Thanks

The method "setMessage" refers indeed to your Contacto entity, but to set the content of a message with SwiftMailer, you have to use setBody();
Example :
$mail = \Swift_Message::newInstance();
$mail->setFrom('me#mail.com')
->setTo('you#mail.com')
->setSubject('Email subject')
->setBody('email body, can be swift template')
->setContentType('text/html');
$this->get('mailer')->send($mail);
EDIT : save the email content in database and send it to Twig template
I added a bit of code in your function, to actually save the email content in database. It's not mandatory but I imagine you'll want to retrieve this information later in your application. Anyway, I didn't test this, but it should work : your controller set the SwiftMailer message body as a Twig template. Your template should be able to parse the "contacto" entity.
public function newAction()
{
$contacto = new Contacto();
$form = $this->createForm(new ContactoType(), $contacto);
$request = $this->getRequest();
if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
$form->bind($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
// set your "contacto" entity
$contacto->setMessage($form->get('message')->getData());
// do the rest of $contact->set{......}
// save the message in database (if you need to but I would do it)
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($contacto);
$em->flush();
// SEND THE EMAIL
$message = \Swift_Message::newInstance();
$message->setFrom('enquiries#myweb.com.ar')
->setTo($this->container->getParameter('tp_main.emails.contact_email'))
->setSubject('YOUR SUBJECT')
->setBody($this->renderView('TPMainBundle:Default:contactEmail.txt.twig', array('contacto' => $contacto)))
->setContentType('text/html');
$this->get('mailer')->send($message);
$this->get('session')->setFlash('blogger-notice', 'Your contact enquiry was successfully sent. Thank you!');
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('contacto_new'));
}
}
return $this->render('TPMainBundle:Default:contact.html.twig', array('form' => $form->createView()));
}
