Disabled user by default on FOSUserbundle - symfony

Question

I'm using FOSUserBundle and I want when each user registers to be disabled by default. The administrator will contact every user by phone and he will make user active if it's appropriate. I have read about Overriding Default FOSUserBundle Controllers but I can't figure out how to make it working. I have created RegistrationController.php in src/AppBundle/Controller/RegistrationController.php with this method inside:
<?php
/*
* This file is part of the FOSUserBundle package.
*
* (c) FriendsOfSymfony <http://friendsofsymfony.github.com/>
*
* For the full copyright and license information, please view the LICENSE
* file that was distributed with this source code.
*/
namespace FOS\UserBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAware;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccountStatusException;
use FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface;
/**
* Controller managing the registration
*
* #author Thibault Duplessis <thibault.duplessis#gmail.com>
* #author Christophe Coevoet <stof#notk.org>
*/
class RegistrationController extends ContainerAware
{
/**
* Receive the confirmation token from user email provider, login the user
*/
public function confirmAction($token)
{
$user = $this->container->get('fos_user.user_manager')->findUserByConfirmationToken($token);
if (null === $user) {
throw new NotFoundHttpException(sprintf('The user with confirmation token "%s" does not exist', $token));
}
$user->setConfirmationToken(null);
$user->setEnabled(false);
$user->setLastLogin(new \DateTime());
$this->container->get('fos_user.user_manager')->updateUser($user);
$response = new RedirectResponse($this->container->get('router')->generate('fos_user_registration_confirmed'));
$this->authenticateUser($user, $response);
return $response;
}
}
, but nothing works, maybe I need someone to show me the way to do it, nothing more.

Answer 1

For those still struggling with this question, set an observer listening the event: fos_user.registration.initialize like this (adapt you code path) :
app.listener.disable_registered_user:
class: AppBundle\Observer\DisableRegisteredUserListener
arguments:
- "#templating"
tags:
# split to multiple line for readability
# can be made into a single line like - { name: ..., event: ... , method: ... }
-
name: "kernel.event_listener"
event: "fos_user.registration.initialize"
method: "disableUser"
Then this is the content of your event listener class :
namespace AppBundle\Observer;
use FOS\UserBundle\Event\GetResponseUserEvent;
/**
* Class DisableRegisteredUserListener
* #package AppBundle\Observer
*/
class DisableRegisteredUserListener
{
/**
* #param \FOS\UserBundle\Event\GetResponseUserEvent $event
*/
public function disableUser(GetResponseUserEvent $event)
{
$user = $event->getUser();
/** #var \AppBundle\Entity\User $user */
$user->setEnabled(false);
}
}

You could just listen to the FOSUserEvents::REGISTRATION_CONFIRM and disable the registered user again before it gets persisted to the database.
As the FOSUserBundle automatically forwards the new user to the confirmedAction that requires a user to be logged in, you would need to provide your own response to override this.
Your listener...
class DisableRegisteredUserListener
{
/**
* #var EngineInterface
*/
private $templating;
/**
* #var EngineInterface $templating
*/
public function __construct(EngineInterface $templating)
{
$this->templating = $templating;
}
/**
* #var GetResponseUserEvent $event
* #return null
*/
public function disableUser(GetResponseUserEvent $event)
{
$user = $event->getUser();
$user->setEnabled(false);
$response = $this->templating->renderResponse(
'AppBundle:Registration:registration_complete.html.twig',
array(
'user' => $user,
)
);
}
}
Your services file (YAML)...
services:
app.listener.disable_registered_user:
class: AppBundle\EventListener\DisableRegisteredUserListener
arguments:
- "#templating"
tags:
# split to multiple line for readability
# can be made into a single line like - { name: ..., event: ... , method: ... }
-
name: "kernel.event_listener"
event: "fos_user.registration.confirm"
method: "disableUser"
Your AppBundle:Registration:registration_complete.html.twig could then be used to tell the new users that their account had been created but disabled and they would then be contacted by a member of your team to complete the process.
