add function to entity that extended

Hi,

I extended User entity. Now I want to create a fucntion getCustomName() to return my custom name for user
and then I can call it via twig by user.customName

Do you know how can I do that?

OS, name and version: Ubuntu 14.04 64bit
Web server, name and version: Apache,

Hi,

1. If you need to add some additional filed to entity User, you can create migration in custom bundle to create a extend field for entity.
Example for field ‘title’ of user entity:
https://github.com/oroinc/platform/blob/2.3/src/Oro/Bundle/UserBundle/Migrations/Schema/v1_9/OroUserBundle.php

To add field CustomName you need create migration like this

PHP

$userTable = $schema->getTable('oro_user'); $userTable->addColumn( 'customName', 'string', [ 'length' => 255, 'oro_options' => [ 'extend' => ['owner' => ExtendScope::OWNER_CUSTOM], 'datagrid' => ['is_visible' => DatagridScope::IS_VISIBLE_FALSE], ], ] );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

$userTable = $schema->getTable('oro_user'); $userTable->addColumn(    'customName',    'string',    [        'length'      => 255,        'oro_options' => [            'extend'   => ['owner' => ExtendScope::OWNER_CUSTOM],            'datagrid' => ['is_visible' => DatagridScope::IS_VISIBLE_FALSE],        ],    ] );

As result new column ‘customName’ will be created in oro_user table.
Entity User will have property $customName and methods getCustomName and setCustomName.

Value is available in twig template by user.customName.
Also field customName is added on user edit page.

2. If you need some method which will return value based on other properties of entity user and it should be available in twig template, in this case better create twig extension and use it.
