FOSUserBundle FTW!

Amazing walkthrough of how the FOSUserbundle works. Certainly recommended.

Hey Lavin,

Out of the box, FOSUserBundle does not have a simple solution for that. FOSUserBundle works with your User object in general. But I think you can implement it yourself by overriding some parts of this bundle. It depends on your needs.

Cheers!

thank for the reply ive done sucessfully implemented that but can i ask another question? can fosuserbundle make separate login like 3 login for admin,customer and seller?

Hey Lavin,

Sure, you can use this bundle with Symfony 2.8. From the latest release, I see it still supports Symfony 2.8, see: https://github.com/FriendsO...

Cheers!

hmm... maybe to late to join the train? but can i use this to symfony 2.8? im trying implement regist,login,logout,admin rule and user to this https://www.tutorialspoint....

Thanks for your explanation.

Brs.

Hi Abelardo León González!

Great question! Actually, we likely will NOT move this to Symfony 4. FOSUserBundle has always give you a lot for free - a login form, registration and reset password. However, it came at a high cost - it was difficult to customize your registration form, or processing or anything else - you needed to hook into events and config to do pretty basic things.

For this reason, my hope is that we can begin to move on from FOSUserBundle. We're not *quite* ready for this yet, but we're close. Here are the important things that FOSUserBundle gives you:

1) A login route, controller, template -> You can now generate this via the make:auth command
2) Login processing -> actually, FOSUserBundle uses the Symfony security system for this. And this can also be generated via the make:auth command
3) Registration route, controller & template -> I think we need a make:registration-form command, but it doesn't exist yet. I'd recommend building this by hand - registration (fortunately) is not too difficult
4) Reset password -> This is an important one, and I hope we can have an open source bundle soon that *just* provides this functionality.

I hope that makes sense! Using FOSUserBundle is not bad - it's a very high quality bundle. However, soon, I think it will be faster and more flexible to avoid it.

Cheers!

Hi there!
Are you planning to move this course training to Symfony 4?

Cheers,

Nothing like free stuff :D

it's so beatifull when is FREEEEEE

Yes, cheers!

I see you could fix your problem, is that right?

Cheers!

I'm trying to override the template for resetting the password from the user. I leave here an opened question in stackoverflow. Please I need to solve this as soon as possible.

https://stackoverflow.com/q...

Ok Thanks Diego Aguiar !

Hey Laila M.

Thanks for pointing me into that thread, I wasn't aware about that change of the bundle. I'm going to talk about it with the team.
For the moment I can give you two suggestions:
1) If you don't need anything from the new version, then stick with 2.0
2) If you really need to upgrade, then you could try Stof's idea (overriding via routing) or you could copy and paste all the logic from the controller that you want to override into your own controller and then do the changes that you application requires.

Cheers!

Diego Aguiar , Thanks for your reply.
The link you sent me, I see only how to override EventListener but how to apply that to override a whole controller action ?
As I mentionned in this issue https://github.com/FriendsO..., I was creating class AccountController extends FOS\UserBundle\Controller\ProfileController , with overriding the editAction and I had also RegistrationController extends FOS\UserBundle\Controller\RegistrationController with overriding confirmAction and confirmedAction, It was working fine on 2.0v but on >=2.1v it's not working anymore, they suggest me to use compiler pass but I tried many solutions and nothing seems to work for me, that's why I was asking for a tutorial on how to override a controller's actions for new versions of FosUserBundle for above 3 symfony versions :)

Hey Laila M.

I don't fully get it, are you trying to override FosUserBundle controllers? If that's the case you may consider reading this section https://symfony.com/doc/mas...

Side note: If you were on Symfony 3.3 or higher you could take advange of injecting dependencies into your controller's actions

Cheers!

Victor Bocharsky , Thanks for your reply.
Actually I'm still on symfony 3.1 but since last composer update of "friendsofsymfony/user-bundle": "~2.0", my controllers inheritance doesn't seem to work, because since FOSUserBundle version 2.1 supports Symfony 4, all controllers are registered as services so my controller's class will not be injected with those services anymore, I tried compiler pass and many tries but couldn't find a solution for that in tutorials.

Hey Laila,

This screencast is outdated because it's about FOSUserBundle v1.3, have you checked an updated screencast about FOSUserBundle 2.0 here: https://knpuniversity.com/s...

Cheers!

Please an update for FosUserBundle with Symfony4, specially for controller overriding.

Hey @disqus_wefmccz0Ip!

Ah, interesting! So..... I can give you a short answer :). If you're building a web app (even one with a SPA), you should just use session cookies - simpler than JWT. If you *do* need API authentication, then create a JWT authenticator with Guard (https://knpuniversity.com/s.... There's really nothing special with FOSUserBundle for this: you won't really use any of its features for the authenticator. You'll just query the database for the user like normal :).

Cheers!

Super screencasts about FOSuserBundle ! but can we have just another about JWT and FOSuserBundle ?

Thanks, Victor!

Hey Egor,

Not yet, see Ryan's opened PR about Symfony 4 support: https://github.com/FriendsO... . So you'll be able to use it only after it's merged.

Cheers!

Hi Ryan!
Is that possible to use the bundle with symfony 4?

Awesome tutorial! To the point, no bullshit or unnecessary stuff, easy to follow and fun to watch. Thanks so much, your Symfony track helps putting together the big picture and fill the gaps. And extra thanks for demystifying terms like dependency injection ;) Keep up the good work.

We are glad to hear you are liking our tutorials :)

Cheers!

Super cool, thank u.

Hey Shaun,

Yes, you can upload your screenshot to a cloud like Imgur and then paste a link to it in your comment ;)

Cheers!

Hey, I have followed the setup instructions, but my screen layout looks different, is there a way I can send you a screenshot?

How to explain FOSUserBundle dont change password if it leaves empty, and do not validate password if it editing but validate if adding(registering).
Thank you

Hey @napester_shine!

The best way to handle this.... depends on your app! The big question for me isn't whether or not users have a different or the same login form, but whether or not those different users will access the same areas of the site? For example, suppose you have "admin" users and "normal" users. And suppose that "admin" users can ONLY visit URLs starting with /admin/ (i.e. they CANNOT access the rest of the site, like /products). And the "normal" users can ONLY visit the URLs that don't start with /admin/. AND, admin users and normal users have a lot of different information in the database. If - and only if - you have all of these, then you might consider creating 2 user entities and 2 firewalls. In this situation, I would not use FOSUserBundle.

But for the vast majority of setups, I would only have *one* User entity and *one* firewall. Having multiple registration forms is fine - you can create as many as you want. Having multiple login forms is also fine - I would create a Guard authenticator to process each. You could assign different roles (or set some boolean property on each user) for the different user types. Then add security checks so that different users can only access different parts of the site.

tl;dr; Even if you only have one User entity and one firewall... there's nothing stopping you from creating as many login and registration forms as you want. But, you might not want to use FOSUserBundle - it will just start to get in the way. The only real negative with one User entity is that you may have extra fields on it that are used by one user type, but not a different user type. Unless you have a lot of fields... it wouldn't really concern me.

Cheers!

HI can you include multiuser auth system?
For example, in an application different users can have different login form or same login form, but they all have separate registration form. May be these user entities can have different fields in them.

God bless you :)

I've got that added to our list! I think it's quite time that we talked about OAuth and Symfony :). But, it won't be too soon (sorry! Lots to do).

Great!!
Can you make one for the FOSOAuthServerBundle too? Tha would be fantastic, especially in combination with FOSUserBundle!

Finally, they tagged the 2.0 release of the bundle. Tutorial updated! https://knpuniversity.com/s...

yeeeees :) nice

Yo Jelle Schouwstra!

Both Guard and FOSUserBundle will be the same amount of "secure". Really, when you use FOSUserBundle, you're using the built-in (i.e. core to Symfony) form_login security mechanism - so it handles a lot of stuff for you to make sure things are secure. With Guard, you're basically *not* using that, and are instead building your own authenticator (which gives you more flexibility). Technically speaking, when you do this, you could mess something up and make your app less secure (more room for mistakes), but there's nothing inherently more or less secure about them. I'll definitely be talking about Guard and FOSUserBundle very soon - I'm recording (today) an updated FOSUserBundle tutorial that will cover this stuff!

tl;dr; Both are secure, technically speaking, form_login (used when you use FOSUserBundle) is more secure if anything.

Cheers!

Thanks for the clarification. But how do you combine both fosuserbundle and Guard then, to make my app more secure? Because I like using fosuser a lot but I want it to be secure too.

Hey Jelle Schouwstra!

It's a really common question - maybe I'll address it in our update of this video, which we'll do soon. Basically, they are 2 separate things, which work well together:

A) FOSUserBundle has (almost) nothing to do with security. It simply gives you a User object and some routes/controllers for common user things like registration, reset password, update profile, etc. Sure, they also give you a login route/controller, but the login page itself has nothing to do with security - it's just a static HTML form.

B) Guard is all about adding ways for your user to authenticate - it is 100% all about security.

If you follow the FOSUserBundle docs, in security.yml you end up using the built-in core form_login security mechanism. But, if you wanted more control, you could *not* use that, and instead create a custom authenticator (like the one we built here: http://knpuniversity.com/sc.... When you submit the login form that's provided by FOSUserBundle, your authenticator would then process the submitted data, query for the User object, check its password, etc. In this situation you would be using 100% of FOSUserBundle *and* a guard authenticator. I know it can be confusing, but they're 2 entirely separate things :).

Cheers!

I'm a bit confused, fos userbundle provides about everything you need for a working authentication app then why do I also need Guard? Or is it 1 or the other? Again great videos!

Hey Teo!

Absolutely! However, FOSUserBundle version 2.0 is not QUITE released yet (it's BETA 1 at this moment), and you'll need to use this new version in Symfony 3. Their documentation tells you how to install this beta version of the bundle: https://symfony.com/doc/mas.... It's basically stable, and I expect a release VERY soon - we're just waiting for one last issue to be resolved. Btw, once they release that bundle, we're going to totally update this tutorial (woohoo!).

Cheers!

Hi Ryan,

can we use FOSUserBundle also for Symfony3.x too?

Thanks for the information
Teo

Hm, it's weird. I'd suggest you look over the usage of your main route. Probably you pointed it somewhere in config files or redirect to it in an event listener. But if so, you probably get an 500 error when you deactivate it. Also don't forget to clear the cache, sometimes Symfony doesn't regenerate it when you work with annotations.

Cheers!

When i desactivate my main route the register work... :(

I found a solution but i dont know if it resolve totaly my issue is by excluding register in the the requirement in my main route

Hey Hakim,

Are you logged in? I think you can't register when you're already logged in. Also, double check your access_control configuration in the security.yml with this docs: https://symfony.com/doc/mas... - maybe /register page just behind the firewall.

Cheers!

I a have a problem with routing :(
My main routes use anotation and for pages @Route("/{pageSlug}", name="otherpage")
and when i want access to the /register or any fos page it redirect me the my main route

Hey ciudadano82 ,

Actually, these cases covered with the new Guard component. Check out the onAuthenticationSuccess() and onAuthenticationFailure() methods there.

Also we have a course about Guard: KnpUGuard: Symfony Authentication with a Smile. You also can check out Symfony Security: Beautiful Authentication, Powerful Authorization Symfony course based on Guard component.

Cheers!

Hi Victor! Is there any documentation / tutorials related to those handlers (DefaultAuthenticationSuccessHandler and DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler)?

No, it should be still "/login_check"! Actually, it should be a value of "check_path" config key in security.yml (http://symfony.com/doc/curr... ).

You can place these handlers whenever you want. But you need to declare them as a service. Actually, "your_custom_auth_failure_handler" and "your_custom_auth_success_handler" names in my previous comment are the services names. For example, place your classes under "AppBundle\Security\Http\Authentication" namespace to be consistent with "DefaultAuthenticationSuccessHandler" class which you extend. Here's an example of service declaration:

    your_custom_auth_failure_handler:
        class: AppBundle\Security\Http\Authentication\CustomAuthenticationFailureHandler
        arguments:
            - "@http_kernel"
            - "@security.http_utils"

    your_custom_auth_success_handler:
        class: AppBundle\Security\Http\Authentication\CustomAuthenticationSuccessHandler
        arguments:
            - "@security.http_utils"

Cheers!

thank you Victor Bocharsky

but pls help me with file name and location that where i have to write class CustomAuthenticationSuccessHandler
and in ajax i have to change landing path or it will be same as 'login_check'

Hey, Sudhir!

Ah, yes, I know exactly what you mean! It's already an expert level. :)

You need to create your custom failure and success handlers which will return a JsonResponse on each Ajax auth request. They should be declare in the `security.yml` as:

security:
    firewalls:
        main:
            form_login:
                failure_handler: your_custom_auth_failure_handler
                success_handler: your_custom_auth_success_handler

For example, in you custom success auth handle you need to return a JsonResponse if you see an XmlHttpRequest:

class CustomAuthenticationSuccessHandler extends DefaultAuthenticationSuccessHandler
{
    public function onAuthenticationSuccess(Request $request, TokenInterface $token)
    {
        if ($request->isXmlHttpRequest()) {
            return new JsonResponse([
                'authenticated' => true,
                'id' => $token->getUser()->getId(),
            ]);
        }

        return parent::onAuthenticationSuccess($request, $token);
    }
}

And similar changes for failure auth handle, but this time you need to extend "DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler" class, where you just return JsonResponse if you got a XmlHttpRequest.

Cheers!

hi weaverryan ,
in FOSUserbundle, i want to change the way of login. instead of traditional login (hit submit and page redirect) i want to use ajax login.
so in order to achieve this, i make a JavaScript. my code is handling request perfectly but problem is that i am not able to fetch the details that credentials (login true or false).

Here i am getting all HTML code of redirected page. (in my case, its redirecting /admin page and i am getting view sources in console.)
as per my UI, i want to show that like "user validated..you will redirect in a moment "

So, may u help me that how i can achieve this target.

Here is my js code.

var resp ="";
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#_submit').click(function(e){

        e.preventDefault();
        resp = ajaxLogin($(this).attr('path'));
        /* add ajax code here to check validation */
        if(resp==1) {
            setTimeout(function () {
                $(that).addClass("success");
                setTimeout(function () {
                    $app.show();
                    $app.css("top");
                    $app.addClass("active");
                }, submitPhase2 - 70);
                setTimeout(function () {
                    $login.hide();
                    $login.addClass("inactive");
                    animating = false;
                    $(that).removeClass("success processing");
                }, submitPhase2);
            }, submitPhase1);
        }
        else{
            alert(resp);
            console.log(resp);
        }

    });
});

Hey Jon!

I just checked, I don't have any handy right now :/. But, what problem are you running into?

Ryan,

Any chance of maybe some source code that you could point to that uses Guard along with FOS_UserBundle? I feel like I am so close to making this work, but am missing something. :-(

Hi Niel!

I *really* want to - but I can't until FOSUserBundle finally tags their 2.0 release (otherwise we risk making a tutorial and then having them change a lot of stuff before that stable version). As soon as that happens, we'll be on it!

HI

Can you update this tutorial please ?

I think it's a fine solution - I also don't see any other hook there that use in this case :).

Cheers!

Hello weaverryan!

Thank you for the reply.

I ended up overriding the ResettingController of the FOSUserBundle to make it work for me.

I wanted my app to send a password resetting request email to the user even if the password had already been requested.

Use Case: You request a password reset but it either got lost in your email or went to spam (or something happened while the email was getting to you) and you need to request another reset. Currently you cannot do that, you have to wait until token_ttl expires. So I overrode sendEmailAction() in this controller https://github.com/FriendsO... . It didn't seem to have any events to hook into.

Does this sound like a sound solution?

Thank you!

Hey there!

1) I believe you can only request a password reset once per token - the token is cleared after resetting.

2) The time the reset link is active can be controller in 2 different ways: by setting the resetting.token_ttl in config.yml (https://symfony.com/doc/mas... or by overriding User::isPasswordRequestNonExpired().

Overall, you can completely control the password request process by adding an event listener that is executed right when the user tries to request a password reset. For example, even the core functionality of FOSUserBundle uses a listener: https://github.com/FriendsO.... You could create a listener like this, give it a priority of 10 (so that it runs before this listener), and if the user should not be able to request a password reset, call $event->setResponse() and pass it a RedirectResponse to a page that explains this to the user.

This is a bit more advanced, but the point is this: with listeners, you can really control anything, which is awesome!

Cheers!

Is there a way to independently control the time that the reset link is active and the number of times you can request a password reset to the same token_ttl?

I see, I will try and implement this feature manually.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Mel!

Hmm, so for your 2 issues:

1) I'm not sure why the form would show as non-submitted. My advice would be to *not* try to re-use the ProfileController for FOSUserBundle for this - that's really meant for a user to edit their *own* profile. If you have a screen where you're editing other people's profiles, just create a new route/controller for this and setup it up manually - that will be much more naturla.

2) About the "is not callable" error, this tells me that somewhere, you have a route setup for /profile/. You should be able to see this if you run "php app/console router:match /profile/". The error means that the _controller value is not pointing to a valid function. Usually, this means that it finds your controller class, but does *not* find the method inside that class. So, reading directly from your error, it means that it doesn't find a 'showAction' inside of that ProfileController class.

Good luck!

Hi weaverryan,

Nice tuts btw, I was hoping you could lead me to the right direction as I am having issues with overriding the ProfileController, in particular the editAction. This is what I want to achieve, an admin can update the profile of any user.

What I have done so far.

1. Created a list of users with an edit link (mydomain/admin/user/5/edit).
2. Created my own bundle and defined FOSUserBundle as its parent.
3. Copied the ProfileController in my controller folder and removed everything except for the use statements and editAction.

Issues:

Scenario: I'm logged-in as admin

1. When updating other user - not saving $form->isValid() returns false and $form->submitted is false
2. When updating my own profile - It saves but throwing error
Controller "mypath\COntroller\ProfileController::showACtion" for URI /profile/ is not callable

Please see my code below. Thanks in advance!

/**
* Edit the user
*/

public function editAction(Request $request)
{

// Get current user.
$user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

// Get target user.
$target_user_post = $request->request->get('smd_user_profile');
$user_manager = $this->container->get('fos_user.user_manager');
$target_user = $user_manager->findUserByEmail($target_user_post['email']);

if($target_user) // detect if the edit_users form sent the request rather than self-updating
{
$target_user->setName($target_user_post['name']);
} else {
$target_user = $user;
}

if (!is_object($target_user) || !$target_user instanceof UserInterface) {

throw new AccessDeniedException('This user does not have access to this section.');

}

Leanna is such a wonderful and lucid instructor that it makes understanding of complex topics so much easier. I don't think I'd have grasped Symfony2 the way I had, had it not been for Leanna's instructional videos. Thumbs up for the effort.

I'm mixed. FOSUserBundle is much faster to start, and you get a lot of features out of the box. But eventually, you will need to override more and more, and you lose the initial benefit. The answer depends on the comfort-level of the developer to do what we did in Episode 2 and how big the project will be.

Cheers!

Hi, great tutorial!

I would like to know what's better to use for user's login/registration, using this bundle or the one we made in "Starting in Symfony2: Episode 2"

Ok, thanks for checking that ryan :) !
At first, i did it like you mentioned in the Constructor, but always adding an empty address to a user whenever one is created did not seem legit for me :D.
Oh yeah Ryan before i forget to ask: Do you know something about the "remember_me" feature on localhost development with FosUserBundle , that it is broken ? Because when i logout, Chrome does not delete the Cookie but Firefox does. I thought, that it might be a problem on localhost development (xampp).

Hey Patrick!

Yes, overriding the RegistrationFormHandler seems just fine to me! There's not really a *best* way to do this - there are some options, and whichever works easiest is just fine. For example, you might (never tried on a collection) be able to use the empty_data option (http://symfony.com/doc/curr... on the `addresses` field when setting up your form to be an array with a single Address entity on it. You *could* also add 1 Address to each User in the User's __construct() function (though you'd then need to cascade persist and need to be ok with a potentially "empty" Address record being saved in the database.

So, as you can see, I like your solution just fine :).

Cheers!

Hey guys, i got a problem with the FosUserBundle.

I know how to add new fields to the registration form (OneToOne relationed fields).

But when i try to add an Address form type to the registration formular by using the FOsUserBundle Registration Controller,

i don't know how to pass the "empty" Address Object to the User in the Registration Controller so that the fields are displayed and later map the address to the user. (User - Address = OneToMany relation)

Is overwriting the RegistrationFormHandler to the following the correct solution. It is working fine, but maybe there is another way:

public function process($confirmation = false)
{
$user = $this->createUser();
$user->addAddress(new Address());

$this->form->setData($user);

// ...
}
I hope you can help me, ur the best!
Regards.

Hey!

Nope, FOSUserBundle doesn't do anything special at all for the password field, and the password field doesn't work any differently than normal fields (except the repeated field, which wraps the password is a bit different).

I would expect this to work:

{{ form_row(form.plainPassword.first, { attr: {class: 'input-sm'}}) }}
{{ form_row(form.plainPassword.second, { attr: {class: 'input-sm'}}) }}

Render the two sub-fields individually - I'm not sure if you pass the attr into the "compound" field if that translates down to the two individual fields.

Cheers!

hi again, ive been hacking away at customising the register form to include bootstrap styles, i opted for braincraftedBootstrap as the docs seem to be more complete.

I cant seem to get the password fields to render with the class input-sm, the username and email fields are fine.

is there some internal customisation of the password widget in fosUserbundle?
{% trans_default_domain 'FOSUserBundle' %}

{{ form_start(form, { 'style': 'horizontal', 'col_size': 'xs', 'label_col': 5, 'widget_col': 7, attr: {class: 'pull-left'}}) }}
{{ form_row(form.username, { attr: {class: 'input-sm'}}) }}
{{ form_row(form.email, { attr: {class: 'input-sm'}}) }}
{{ form_row(form.plainPassword, { attr: {class: 'input-sm'}}) }}
{{ form_row(form.plainPassword.second, { attr: {class: 'input-sm'}}) }}
<div class="col-sm-5"></div>
<div class="col-sm-7">
<input class="btn-primary btn-sm" type="submit" value="{{ 'registration.submit'|trans }}"/>
</div>
{{ form_rest(form) }}
{{ form_end(form) }}

Ahh found it, just a question of duplicating the other templates, how sweet :)

Another question for you.
I've created a template with 2 columns, which renders the forms in the right column.
There does not seem to be any way to define which actual form is rendered as it just uses the `{{ block('fos_user_content') }}` to render all the forms. how can i differentiate what form is displayed and show different content in the left column depending on what form is rendered?
I would like to display different text content in the left column depending on whether the login/registration/profile etc forms are displayed, what's the easiest way to do this?

Hey!

So ultimately, it should be a little bit less effort to integrate Twitter bootstrap with the normal forms (those that use the form type classes) than with something like the login form. That's because what you'll need to do is customize your form theme (http://symfony.com/doc/curr... to render fields with all the markup you need for Bootstrap. Do that once, and *all* forms on your system will use it (assuming you enable it globally in config.yml).

So, FOSUserBundle is no different in that sense. If you're using a form theme for bootstrap globally, those forms will magically render in the Bootstrap markup. That being said, it's still very possible that you'll want to override the individual templates, because you may want to tweak how the page looks otherwise, or change the order in which the fields are rendered.

For actually creating a Bootstrap theme, I've traditionally done this myself, but used BraincraftedBootstrapBundle and Mopa as examples. That's mostly because I've found Mopa a bit heavy-handed (it's so good, it almost does *too* much stuff for me), but I think I've had more luck with Braincrafted, if you want to try that. If it gives you too much trouble, just use some ideas from them :).

Cheers!

Great tutorial as always from you guys.
Could you point me in the right direction for integrating twitter bootstrap, with the fosUserBundle, I notice the login form has a template where the register form does not it just uses formTypes.
Would my best approach be to use a bundle such as BrainCrafted bootstrapBundle, or the mopaBootstrap bundle (which is best)? and then override the forms by extending them?
I have googled extensivley and not found any tutorials on the subject specifically for bootstrapping FOSUSerBundle, any pointers would be greatly appreciated :)

You rock @Noris! We're planning on updating this screencast sometime soon, but until then - thanks for adding these instructions! I'm happy the tutorial is useful :).

Thanks!

Great tutorial!
For the installation in symfony2.1.6 plus the installation with composer (instead of with "deps document") is easy when you know it ;-). Here is the code:

1) Add the following line to the compser.json

Check latest version from packagist:

https://packagist.org/packa...

I used:

// composer.json

"require": {
"friendsofsymfony/user-bundle": "2.0.*@dev"
}

2. Update with composer with the following line:
sudo php composer.phar update friendsofsymfony/user-bundle

As change in symfony2.1.6 plus: That was it!

At first
thank you very much Really you are very helpful

Nice tutorial series :)

i would love to see a more updated version of this. the video takes some of the intimidation out of the bundle :]

Yes, that's one of the areas where this video is out of date. Starting with Symfony 2.1, using the composer.json file. Follow along with the official docs to see what you'll need :).

Thanks!

This entry is indeed a bit out of date - you can use it for big picture stuff, but as Robert says, watch the real docs! We'll hopefully update this at some point, just a matter of finding some time :).

Answer, pretty close but keep an eye on the github doc's

How upto date is this video? There appear to be some significant differences between what's in this tutorial and what's in the instructions on GitHub: https://github.com/FriendsO...

I have not the deps document in symfony2.1.6

Thanks for tutorial

thank look and work great, but i have question is the resetting work ?

Thanks . Life is cool with FOS !!

Great tutorial - just one thing, the encoders entry is removed in the tutorial, but the default FOS from the documentation one isn't added, so when you use the console to add a user, it throws up an encoding error.

hi... i need some help in adding new fields to FOSUserBundle.. I followed the tutorial on https://github.com/FriendsO... but i get an error saying Neither element "fname" nor method "setFname()" exists in class "Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User" where Fname is my new field...
Please help me!!!!
