Extending the User entity - symfony

Question

I'm trying to extend the User Entity of the sonata user bundle, but it always fails (at least when I want to use ist with the sonata admin bundle). If I use the Application/Sonata/UserBundle/Entity/User Entity it works and I can edit it in the dashboard.
My Entity looks like this:
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\MyBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager;
use Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseUser as BaseUser;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="fos_user")
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
/**
* #var integer
*
* #ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
}
In my config.yml I defined the following options:
fos_user:
db_driver: orm
firewall_name: main
user_class: MyNamespace\MyBundle\Entity\User
group:
group_class: Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\Group
group_manager: sonata.user.orm.group_manager
service:
user_manager: sonata.user.orm.user_manager
And:
sonata_user:
security_acl: true
manager_type: orm
class:
user: MyNamespace\MyBundle\Entity\User
The login is working correctly, but then I get the error message
"An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Unable to generate a URL for the named route "admin_sonata_user_user_create" as such route does not exist.") in SonataAdminBundle:Block:block_admin_list.html.twig at line 39."
My routing.yml looks like this:
admin:
resource: '#SonataAdminBundle/Resources/config/routing/sonata_admin.xml'
prefix: /
_sonata_admin:
host: www.mydomain.com
resource: .
type: sonata_admin
prefix: /
schemes: [https]
Even if I follow this tutorial (Extending Sonata User Bundle and adding new fields) step by step I get the same error.

Application/Sonata/UserBundle/Entity/User is extended Sonata/UserBundle/Entity/User so why not just to make changes there instead of another class?
It's already extended bundle so you can make all the changes there. I put my additional fields there.
My file Application/Sonata/UserBundle/Entity/User.php is like:
namespace Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseUser as BaseUser;
/**
* User
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="fos_user_user")
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
/**
* #var integer
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #var string
*/
private $company;
If your really want to use another class you need to take care about routing.
Check \vendor\sonata-project\user-bundle\Resources\config\admin_orm.xml - it's the place where original class is added as a service.
You can see there %sonata.user.admin.user.entity% parameter - you could change this in config if you want to change to another class. I think it's better than changing fos_user.user_class.
You can also move the whole file to your Application/Sonata/UserBudle but then you need to load it inside DependencyInjection/ApplicationSonataUserExtension.php
Btw, this is really tricky in Sonata which user bundles as Paweł wrote and takes a lot of debugging to make it work
