How to install SonataDoctrineMongoDBAdminBundle properly?

Question

I am really getting nervous because of lacking of enough resource for installing SonataDoctrineMongoDBAdminBundle and it's dependencies like sonataUserBundle. I have been trying to install this bundle for 15 days. I did everyting agaian and again what telling in sonata's official page. But it does not work properly. After extending sonataUserBundle as ApplicationUserBundle my final documents are:

User.php

 */

namespace Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Document;

use Sonata\UserBundle\Document\BaseUser as BaseUser;

class User extends BaseUser
{

    protected $id;

    /**

     *
     * @return integer $id
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}

    }
}

        # Change these rules to adapt them to your needs
        - { path: ^/admin, role: [ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN] }
        - { path: ^/.*, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }  

After all I run:

php app/console fos:user:create --super-admin

The task tells me the user created succesfully. Then I check my mongodb and there is only a record with 3 fields.

Here is the output:

> db.fos_user_user.findOne();
{
    "_id" : 1,
    "createdAt" : ISODate("2013-05-25T19:43:52Z"),
    "updatedAt" : ISODate("2013-05-25T19:43:52Z"),
    "gender" : "u"
}

As you see there is no a username or password or another field which pointed in sonata's or fos' document files. I installed SonataDoctrineORMAdminBundle to look if there is any problem with SonataAdminBundle but it works like a charm with mysql.

I am getting so crazy. Please tell me, what is the correct way to install sonataAdminBundle with mongoDB?

Thank you for your interest.

Answer 1

Seems that inheritance mapping is not working right, I followed the instructions but it lead to same problem. I got it fixed by changing reference to BaseUser to class provided by FOS\UserBundle

# Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Document\User.php

namespace Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Document;

//use Sonata\UserBundle\Document\BaseUser as BaseUser;
use FOS\UserBundle\Document\User as BaseUser;

Answer 2

I was also having issues with this, the users were created with just an ID, gender: 'u', createdAt, etc. And with this, I was able to make it work:

# app/config/config.yml
doctrine_mongodb:
    connections:
        default:
            server: mongodb://localhost:27017
            options: {}
    default_database: test
    document_managers:
        default:
            mappings:
                ApplicationSonataUserBundle: ~
                SonataUserBundle: ~
                FOSUserBundle: ~

I hope someone find this useful.

Answer 3

I'm stucked at the same point.

I created user.php in a different folder with a different name, for my organization.

The difference was that I put direcly mongodb annotations

namespace myProject\BackEndBundle\Document;

use FOS\UserBundle\Document\User as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as MongoDB;

/**
 * @MongoDB\Document
 */
class BackEndUser extends BaseUser {
    /**
     * @MongoDB\Id
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * Get id
     *
     * @return id $id
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        // your own logic
    }
}

Now user creation and authentication works, but user management in SonataAdminBundle don't works.
