I am extending the Sonata User Bundle and creating some extra fields in the new user entity. These fields will only be updated within the Sonata admin area under users so they do not need to be available in the edit profile form. I am having trouble updating these fields via the Sonata User Manager and tried several different ways to extend/implement that class in Application\Sonata\UserBundle. Has anyone encountered this before and can give me a tutorial or step by step process of the cleanest way to extend the new User entity?
I found out the issue was a doctrine issue. My extended bundle was utilizing the original xml field mappings. I deleted those files and reverted to annotations. Everything worked brilliantly from there. I hope this helps someone else who is experiencing the same issue.
