Override FosUserBundle template in own bundle, not app/Resources

Question

According to this http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/FOSUserBundle/overriding_templates.html

I can override FOSUserBundle templates in the app/Resources directory or create a child bundle.

Is there a way to place these templates into my own bundle directory instead?

I've tried adding:

twig:
   debug:            "%kernel.debug%"
   strict_variables: "%kernel.debug%"
   paths:
       '%kernel.root_dir%/../src/AppBundle/Resources/FOSUserBundle/views/': FOSUSerBundle

to my config.yml

Answer 1

No, the template names are hardcoded inside the FOSUserBundle's controllers, thus you are not able to place them in your own bundle. (Unless you overwrite all controllers completely)

Answer 2

No, you can't. Template names are hardcoded in fosub controllers. But, as a workaround you can include your own template in rewrited one. For sample, do it like this:

// app/Resources/FOSUserBundle/views/layout.html.twig
{% include '@YourBundleName/layout.html.twig' %}

I did template overriding for FosUserBundle in one of my project developed in symfony2.3 version. Please try below code that may help you

config.yml

twig:
   debug:            "%kernel.debug%"
   strict_variables: "%kernel.debug%"

FrontBundle/Controller/LoginController.php

<?php
namespace Dhi\UserBundle\Controller;

use FOS\UserBundle\Controller\SecurityController as Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\SecurityContextInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AuthenticationException;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;

class LoginController extends Controller
{
    protected function loginController(array $data)
    {
        $request = $this->get('request');
        return $this->render('FrontBundle:login:login.html.twig');
    }
}

FrontBundle/Resources/views/login/login.html.twig

{% extends "DhiUserBundle::layout.html.twig" %}
{% trans_default_domain 'FOSUserBundle' %}
{% block body %}
    {% block fos_user_content %}

        {% trans_default_domain 'FOSUserBundle' %}

        // Your login form code here

    {% endblock fos_user_content %}
{% endblock body %}

You may look at your versions of FOSUser and Symfony and read this thread : https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSUserBundle/issues/2439

I've experience this bug which didn't allow me to override FOS templates because they used (in latest version 2.0.0-beta) the namespaced syntax (the one with @ symbol) to link templates. And because of it, before Symfony's 2.7.23 version, you can't override templates by putting the right named file in the same folders as described here : http://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/FOSUserBundle/overriding_templates.html

I had the same issue today. My config.yml file is below:

# Twig Configuration
twig:
    debug: '%kernel.debug%'
    strict_variables: '%kernel.debug%'
    paths:
        "%kernel.root_dir%/../src/WebBundle/Resources/views/user/": FOSUser

I added all FOSUserBundle templates under WebBundle/Resources/views/user/ and made some extend/include changes in all templates and now it works.
