  1. POSymfony2 / FOSUserBundle: Change render variables in response without altering parent class
    text
    copied!<p>One of my classes currently extends the BaseController on the FOSUserBundle, and returns the parent action. However, due to project spec, I shouldn't have the need to edit the parent class. Is there a way of sending additional variables, for twig to render, through the child response?</p> <p><strong>Child Class:</strong></p> <pre><code>class ChangePasswordController extends BaseController { public function changePasswordAction(Request $request) { $response = parent::changePasswordAction($request); return $response; // and 'myVariable' =&gt; $myVariable } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Parent Class:</strong></p> <pre><code>class ChangePasswordController extends ContainerAware { /** * Change user password */ public function changePasswordAction(Request $request) { //lots of code..... return $this-&gt;container-&gt;get('templating') -&gt;renderResponse( 'FOSUserBundle:ChangePassword:changePassword.html.' .$this-&gt;container-&gt;getParameter('fos_user.template.engine'), array( 'form' =&gt; $form-&gt;createView() //and 'myVariable' =&gt; $myVariable ) ); } } </code></pre> <p>So to summarise, is there a way of passing something to the parent class, without changing the parent class... whilst rendering the twig view with an additional variable.</p> <h1>-- Update --</h1> <p>Essentially I want to render a form using the FOSUserBundle changePassword action, therefore this works fine:</p> <pre><code>return $this-&gt;container -&gt;get('templating') -&gt;renderResponse( 'FOSUserBundle:ChangePassword:changePassword.html.'.$this-&gt;container-&gt;getParameter('fos_user.template.engine'), array('form' =&gt; $form-&gt;createView()) ); </code></pre> <p>However, I want to pass more variables to the view, just like the 'form' is passed as shown above, <em>without</em> altering the <strong>FosUserBundle ChangePassword Controller</strong>. Therefore I have a class which inherits the that controller, adds some additional functionality and returns the parent change password action:</p> <pre><code>class ChangePassController extends ChangePasswordController { public function changePasswordAction(Request $request) { // more code...... $response = parent::changePasswordAction($request); return $response; } } </code></pre> <p>But, like with most applications, I want to add more than just the form variable to a view template. So is there a way of passing an additional variable to the view, without altering the parent controller / action? Like (but not like) pushing 'myVariable' => $myVariable to the parent changePasswordAction return statement?</p>
