Symfony2: how to override core template?

php, symfony

Solution

Register your bundle right after `SensioGeneratorBundle` in `app/AppKernel.php` e.g.:

// app/AppKernel.php

if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
    //.....
    $bundles[] = new Sensio\Bundle\GeneratorBundle\SensioGeneratorBundle();
    $bundles[] = new Namespace\YourBundle();
}

// Or outside if, should you want your bundle to be available in production environment
$bundles[] = new Namespace\YourBundle();

Then in `YourBundle.php` override `registerCommands` method,

// Bundle\YourBundle.php

// other declarations
use Symfony\Component\Console\Application;
use Sensio\Bundle\GeneratorBundle\Generator\DoctrineCrudGenerator;
use Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Filesystem;


public function registerCommands(Application $application){
    $crudCommand = $application->get('generate:doctrine:crud');
    $generator = new DoctrineCrudGenerator(new FileSystem, __DIR__.'/Resources/skeleton/crud');
    $crudCommand->setGenerator($generator);

    parent::registerCommands($application);
}

You have to copy `skeleton` folder to `YourBundle\Resource` and modify templates.

Problem

I am trying to override SymfonyGeneratorBundle templates by creating ``` \app\Resources\SensioGeneratorBundle\skeleton\crud\views\index.html.twig ``` That file should replace: ``` \vendor\bundles\Sensio\Bundle\GeneratorBundle\Resources\skeleton\crud\views\index.html.twig ``` But it still uses original file even after `cache:clear.` How to do that w/o creating new bundle like Can't override the standard skeleton views in Symfony2 GeneratorBundle?
