Extending FOSUserBundles Registration to have different fields stored in different tables? - php

Question

I am new with Symfony2 and FOSUserBundle. I am using Symfony2 version 2.4.1. I would like to extend FOSUserBundle in a few ways. I want to add fields to the registration form, some fields i would like to add to the user table which contains username and password but i would like to add fields that get added to a different table. (I think i have to rewrite the registerController??)
Currently i have inherited FOSUserBundle into my own UserBundle. I have tried to simply add fields to the current registration form by following the documentation but i keep returning this error.
Could not load type "acme_user_registration"
// src/Fixie/UserBundle/Entity/User.php
<?php
namespace Fixie\UserBundle\Entity;
use FOS\UserBundle\Entity\User as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="fos_user")
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
*
* #Assert\NotBlank(message="Please enter your name.", groups={"Registration", "Profile"})
* #Assert\Length(
* min=3,
* max="255",
* minMessage="The name is too short.",
* maxMessage="The name is too long.",
* groups={"Registration", "Profile"}
* )
*/
protected $name;
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
// your own logic
}
}
I then add the name field to the form builder
// src/Fixie/UserBundle/Form/Type/RegistrationFormType.php
<?php
namespace Fixie\UserBundle\Form\Type;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use FOS\UserBundle\Form\Type\RegistrationFormType as BaseType;
class RegistrationFormType extends BaseType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
parent::buildForm($builder, $options);
// add your custom field
$builder->add('name');
}
public function getName()
{
return 'acme_user_registration';
}
}
I then go on to declare the custom form type:
// src/Fixie/UserBundle/Resources/config/services.yml
services:
acme_user.registration.form.type:
class: Fixie\UserBundle\Form\Type\RegistrationFormType
arguments: [%fos_user.model.user.class%]
tags:
- { name: form.type, alias: acme_user_registration }
Then updated config:
fos_user:
db_driver: orm # other valid values are 'mongodb', 'couchdb' and 'propel'
firewall_name: main
user_class: Fixie\UserBundle\Entity\User
registration:
form:
type: acme_user_registration
//AppKernel.php
<?php
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel;
use Symfony\Component\Config\Loader\LoaderInterface;
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = array(
new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
new Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\SecurityBundle(),
new Symfony\Bundle\TwigBundle\TwigBundle(),
new Symfony\Bundle\MonologBundle\MonologBundle(),
new Symfony\Bundle\SwiftmailerBundle\SwiftmailerBundle(),
new Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\AsseticBundle(),
new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),
new Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\SensioFrameworkExtraBundle(),
new Fixie\WelcomeBundle\WelcomeBundle(),
new Fixie\UserBundle\UserBundle(),
new FOS\UserBundle\FOSUserBundle(),
);
if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
$bundles[] = new Symfony\Bundle\WebProfilerBundle\WebProfilerBundle();
$bundles[] = new Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\SensioDistributionBundle();
$bundles[] = new Sensio\Bundle\GeneratorBundle\SensioGeneratorBundle();
}
return $bundles;
}
public function registerContainerConfiguration(LoaderInterface $loader)
{
$loader->load(__DIR__.'/config/config_'.$this->getEnvironment().'.yml');
}
}
// Fixie/UserBundle/UserBundle.php
<?php
namespace Fixie\UserBundle;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
class UserBundle extends Bundle
{
public function getParent()
{
return 'FOSUserBundle';
}
}
My main questions are:
Can anyone see an error with my current code?
In relation to extending the form to have multiple fields being stored in multiple tables. What are the step i have to take? Do i rewrite the logic of the controller and the form???
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

Ok.
In appKerenl.php you have
new Fixie\UserBundle\UserBundle(),
But in service.yml
class: Acme\UserBundle\Form\Type\RegistrationFormType
Maybe it should be:
class: Fixie\UserBundle\Form\Type\RegistrationFormType
If in result of command app/console container:debug you can't see acme_user.registration.form.type it means that your service don't register and fos_user can't see you service, and can't find your form type.
My UserBundle store in Webmil/Joint/UserBundle. In UserBundle folder I have file WebmilJointUserBundle.php
My file:
<?php
namespace Webmil\Joint\UserBundle;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
class WebmilJointUserBundle extends Bundle
{
public function getParent()
{
return 'FOSUserBundle';
}
}
So I think that your problem in this file. Can you compare file and your file, and maybe you will find error.

Answer 2

With me it was that i had already a services.yml in app/config, so the one in my bundle was ignored. In the end I added the registry to this file
# app/config/services.yml
services:
# [other already existing services]
acme_user.registration.form.type:
class: Acme\UserBundle\Form\Type\RegistrationFormType
tags:
- { name: form.type, alias: acme_user_registration }
