Multiple user types and login forms

[KevinSleegers]

Hi,

At the moment I have a new website where not only admin users should be able to login. Normal users should be able to register and login also.

Normally I would setup multiple roles to determine what the user has access to. The problem is that both users are very different in terms of entity values.

After a quick search I've found out about the PUGXMultiUserBundle, and this looks very promising. Only issue is that I can't get it work with the default Kunstmaan user class.

I was wondering if someone has managed to create this within a Kunstmaan CMS, and would like to know how you did it.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this since it isn't a bug. If not, I'd like to know where I should ask this, and I will remove this question.

Thanks in advance, Kevin

Hi,

I am using multiple users in one of my projects. We are using FosUserBundle as the main model and some of it logic, but more or less the standard way of using with Kunstmaan was customized:

• there are two user entities - User and UserClient, which inherits User (doctrine inheritance)
• we have two firewalls - two separate login pages
• the firewalls uses different providers - User ("admin") cannot log into a client side while UserClient can, but User and UserClient can log into the admin side if they have access granted (ROLE).
• registration, resetting are reworked
• original login logic is used

So if you have any specific questions, you can ask it here, but I think, that PUGXMultiUserBundle would be usable with some efforts.

Here’s my setup:

• Extended the KunstmaanAdminBundle using my AcmeUserBundle (using symfony bundle hierarchy)
• Extended the User entity (OOP) in my bundle to add more fields and relations (i now have both acme_users and kuma_users tables, the latter is empty)
• Changed the fos_user.user_class setting to my entity
• Created routes & templates for login / registration / etc outside of the admin area
• I restrict the admin access using the ROLE_ADMIN, nothing new here
• The firewalls are using the same context, so there is no need to login separately. YMMV.

I can’t quite remember the specifics, since I wasn’t responsible for this task and it was over a year ago. Anyway we managed to use standard FOSUserBundle functions. I remember looking at PUGXMultiUserBundle and others, but we didn’t decide do use it for some reasons.

we also went a similiar route as @mlebkowski in one of our larger projects.
