How to create custom entity with wysiwyg text field?

[msieracki]

Hello

I'm trying to create entity with WYSIWYG field. In Akeneo 1.5 I used pim_wysiwyg field type during form creation, but in Akeneo 1.7 it don't work.

$builder ->add( 'fieldName', 'pim_wysiwyg', array( 'label'=> 'Field Label', 'required'=> false ) );

Does anyone knows how to create form with WYSIWYG field for custom entity?

Same problem for me in 1.7 version. I can create a TextArea fields using the 'widget' modificator. But I can not use the wysiwyg editor.

Thanks and regards

Editor actually already at codebase and all you need to make it work is to add wysiwyg css class to some textareas. This is how to do this until pim_wysiwyg will be returned back officially:

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Form\Type;

use Symfony\Component\Form\FormView;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextareaType;

class WysiwygType extends TextareaType
{
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function buildView(FormView $view, FormInterface $form, array $options)
    {

    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function getParent()
    {
        return 'textarea';
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function getName()
    {
        return 'wysiwyg';
    }
}

# app/config/config.yml
twig:
    form:
        resources:
            - 'AppBundle:Form:pim-fields.html.twig'

# src/AppBundle/Resources/services.yml

services:

    form.type.wysiwyg:
        class: AppBundle\Form\Type\WysiwygType
        tags:
            - { name: form.type, alias: wysiwyg }

{# src/AppBundle/Resources/views/Form/pim-fields.html.twig #}
{% extends 'PimUIBundle:Form:pim-fields.html.twig' %}

{%- block wysiwyg_widget -%}
    {% set attr = attr|merge({'class': attr.class is defined ? attr.class ~ ' wysiwyg' : 'wysiwyg'}) %}
    <textarea {{ block('widget_attributes') }}>{{ value }}</textarea>
{%- endblock wysiwyg_widget -%}

Usage

Translatable custom WYSIWYG field for Category:

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Form\Type;

use AppBundle\Entity\Brand;
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

use Pim\Bundle\EnrichBundle\Form\Type\CategoryType as BaseCategoryType;

/**
 * Type for category properties
 */
class CategoryType extends BaseCategoryType
{
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add(
            'longDescriptionTop',
            'pim_translatable_field',
            [
                'field'             => 'longDescriptionTop',
                'translation_class' => $this->translationDataClass,
                'entity_class'      => $this->dataClass,
                'property_path'     => 'translations',
                'widget'            => 'wysiwyg',
                'required'          => false,
            ]
        );
    }
}

Thank you very much @igormukhingmailcom ,

I love when people share their knowledge with each other. That's the way open source should work!

I added this explaination in the newly created WIKI: https://github.com/akeneo-labs/CustomEntityBundle/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions

If you think it should be part of the main doc, PR are welcome ;)
