How to override the layout of the FosUser registration form layout. - symfony

How can I override the layout of the registration form
Currently the form is
-username
-email
-password
-verification
I want the override the layout of this form, lets say, two questions per row
-username -email
additional text
-password -verification
I understand how to write the views (twigs)
register.html.twig calls register_content.html.twig
which uses;
{{ form_widget(form) }}
how do i override the
{{ form_widget(form) }} ?

You have to override FosUserBundle registration form template.
You can accomplish an override in the following ways:
Define a template with same name into app/resources directory.
Together "same name" you have to reproduce the same structure of the
bundle. So, if your template is in, i.e.,
FosUserBundle/views/mainTemplate.html.twig you have to override it by
creating a new one template in app/resources/FosUserBundle/views and
call it mainTemplate.html.twig
You have to create a new bundle from scratch and override getParent()
method that have to return a string containing bundle name that you
want to override ( FosUserBundle ). Now if you create a new template in
the same position of the original, you have overwritten it. This
method is not recommended since you have to override controller also.

How to render only one field of a form with symfony

I want to render only one field of a form. When i put {{form_end(form)}} every other field are coming (symfony doc show it clearly) but how to render only one field ? If i dont put {{form_end(form)}}, there is only one field, but no save button
thanks
Yes, CSS can do the trick. But do you want the working of your application to depend on client side styling rules? In most cases it might beter not to render the field HTML at all.
There are two ways in which you can fix this in your template.
Put {% do form.field_you_want_to_hide.setRendered %} before your {{form_end(form)}}.
This will mark the field as rendered and thus it will not show up when form_rest is called.
Instead of {{form_end(form)}}, use {{ form_end(form, {'render_rest': false}) }}, as explained in the Symfony Twig documentation.
It would be even better to change your form class such that the fields are removed from your form. Is it your own form you would like to render, or a form from a third party bundle?

Call Symfony Service on demand from twig

I've created a twig template that will create a table of items with checkboxes and a js function that can be triggered using a button that will return the IDs of all items where the checkboxes are checked. This works fine so far. Now I need to call a service and pass an array of all selected IDs.
Is there a good way to call the service from within the js part in the twig template? I don't want to create a controller for the service and use curl to call it.
Best regards Christian
# app/config/config.yml
twig:
globals:
myService: "#my.service"
And in twig you can use now:
{{ myService.anyMethod() }}
You can also make Twig extension:

Symfony 2 : HWiOauthBundle : Overriding connect_success.html.twig

I have implemented both FOSUserBundle and HWIOauthBundle in my Symfony 2 project. Basically, everything works fine but I would like to customize a litle bit more. Typically I use the connect functionnality of the HWIOauthBundle to connect oauth account to user already connected with the authentication form (FOSUserBundle).
In case of succes, the controller action HWIOAuthBundle:Connect:connectService displays the twig template connect_success.html.twig. At this point, I would like to override this template and do the following actions :
Create a flash message
Display the flash message on my homepage
You can obtain this behavior easily with FOSUserBundle as this bundle dispatchs many events to hook into the controllers. But with HWIOauthBundle this is not possible.
My solution is the following :
1/ I override connect_success.html.twig by placing the same named file in app/Ressources/HWIOauthBundle/views/Connect with the following code:
{{ render(controller('MyUserBundle:User:HWIOAuthFlash')) }}
2/ In my user controller (MyUserBundle:User), I create an action HWIOAuthFlashAction() that defines a flash message and forwards to the controller action that displays he homepage(MyMainBundle:Main:homepage)
public function HWIOAuthFlashAction()
{
// Here : flash message definition
return $this->forward('MyMainBundle:Main:homepage');
}
At this point the homepage is displayed with the flash message. But I had to remove two links in the homepage template (homepage.twig.html)that permits the user to switch between two locales.
The following code is the one that I had to remove from my template :
<ul>
<li>FR</li>
<li>EN</li>
</ul>
I understand that that the special variable _route is null. And I get the following message :
An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template
("Error when rendering
"xxxxx/web/app_dev.php/connect/service/google?key=yyyyyyy" (Status
code is 500).") in HWIOAuthBundle:Connect:connect_success.html.twig at
line 3.
I have two questions :
To achieve my goal, is it the good way ?
How to say to symfony that I want my route to be homepage ?
As proposed in my comment, here is my solution :
In my homepage template homepage.twig.html :
{% set route = app.request.get('_route') ? app.request.get('_route') : 'homepage' %}
<ul>
<li>FR</li>
<li>EN</li>
</ul>

Creating menu on symfony2.3 using render

on my Admin template I've used render function to add the menu.
The controller sidebar add all links from db.
The problem is made when i want to add "current" class because i can't access of current url/controller from a render request.
{{ render(controller('AdminDashboardBundle:Template:sidebar')) }}
How I can access to all informations from the render controller (without pass a var )?
Thanks
The RequestStack service has been built with Symfony 2.4. If you declare your Template controller as a service and inject RequestStack, you'll be able to use your current render call without passing arguments.
But you are speaking about Symfony 2.3, and unfortunately I don't think it is possible to do what you want without arguments. Here are some example on how to pass the current route / the URL as an argument of your controller.
1) Passing the URL :
{{
render(controller('AdminDashboardBundle:Template:sidebar', {
'url': app.request.requesturi
}))
}}
2) Passing the route :
{{
render(controller('AdminDashboardBundle:Template:sidebar', {
'route': app.request.attributes.get('_route'),
'route_params': app.request.attributes.get('_route_params')
}))
}}
I know you want to use Symfony2.3 and this call without passing vars, I think that's simply not possible because of how work scopes.

FOSUserBundle: Change Password within actual project

I have successfully installed FOSUserBundle in my project and everything works as expected. However, I am struggling with how to implement it in my actual project.
I want to create the following setup:
A page displaying some user settings in one form (like newsletter subscription), the possibility to change the password in a second form and maybe also a third form to change the username.
The settings form as well as some more information is coming from an existing action in my controller and is working well.
I did try a few things but things are not really working out yet:
I copied some functionality from FOSUserBundle\Controller\ChangePasswordController\changePasswordAction() to my own action. This way I could get the change password form, create the view and pass it to my template.
I added the form to my template with {{ form_widget(form) }}. The form is being displayed and it's even working. I can change the password. However, the labels are being lost, simply reading Current, First, and Second. Also there is no error messaging showing up when the two new passwords don't match or are being left empty.
Over all I have the feeling I am probably doing this in a wrong way. Could you please help me how I should handle this task and point out where I am likely doing something stupid?
Here is the code of my action, reduced to what's important here:
# src/Acme/MyBundle/Controller/BackendController.php
public function accountAction(){
//pretty much a copy of FOSUserBundle\Controller\ChangePasswordController\changePasswordAction()
$user = $this->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();
$form = $this->container->get('fos_user.change_password.form');
$formHandler = $this->container->get('fos_user.change_password.form.handler');
$process = $formHandler->process($user);
if ($process) {
//password has been changed, response will be generated
}
//more stuff going on here
$moreStuff = ...
//render view
return $this->render('AcmeMyBundle:Backend:account.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
'moreStuff' => $moreStuff
));
}
IMO rendering more than one form in one action is not a good idea.
Always try to separate things and let an action handle only one feature.
In your twig template I suggest to use the render method :
{% render 'AcmeBundle:SomeAction' with{'param:param} %}
It will generate a GET request on the action provided with some params if needed.
Create one action that will render the twig template with subrequests :
// AcmeUserBundle:editAction
{% render 'AcmeUserBundle:changePasswordAction' %}
{% render 'AcmeUserBundle:settingsAction' %}
{% render 'AcmeUserBundle:profileAction' %}
And then you'll need to create one action per form.
For password and username modification you can also override FOSUserBundle views if your needs are only visual. If you need to add/remove a field on the form you will need to create a new service.
I sugget reading FOSUserBundle documentation about overriding :
