Show a list of users using Symfony

Question

I'm trying to show the list of my users. I'm using FOSUser. This is my Controller in which I want to find the list of users in the fos_user table and show it in my affiche page:

<?php

namespace User\UserBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use User\UserBundle\Entity\User;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;
use User\UserBundle\Form\UserType;

use FOS\UserBundle\Controller\RegistrationController as BaseController;

class DefaultController extends BaseController
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $response = parent::registerAction();
        // ... do custom stuff
        return $response;
    }

    public function getDoctrine()
    {
        return $this->container->get('doctrine');
    }
         
    public function afficheAction()
    {   
        $em = $this->getDoctrine();
        $admins = $em->getRepository('UserUserBundle:User')->findAll(); 
        return $this->render('UserUserBundle:Default:affiche.html.twig', array('admins'=>$admins)); 
    }
}

But I get this error

Call to undefined method User\UserBundle\Controller\DefaultController::render() in C:\wamp\www\pfe2\src\User\UserBundle\Controller\DefaultController.php

How could I resolve it?

Answer 1

You probably use FOSUserBundle 1.3.x whose controller classes do not extend the base Controller class from the FrameworkBundle. Thus, you cannot use the shortcut methods provided by that class, but you have to render the template manually like it is done in the base RegistrationController class:

public function afficheAction()
{   
    $em = $this->getDoctrine();
    $admins = $em->getRepository('UserUserBundle:User')->findAll(); 

    return $this->container->get('templating')->renderResponse('UserUserBundle:Default:affiche.html.twig', array('admins'=>$admins)); 
}
