Symfony2: how to override the main template?

Question

I am trying to override SymfonyGeneratorBundle patterns by creating

\app\Resources\SensioGeneratorBundle\skeleton\crud\views\index.html.twig 

This file should replace:

 \vendor\bundles\Sensio\Bundle\GeneratorBundle\Resources\skeleton\crud\views\index.html.twig 

But it still uses the original file even after cache:clear. How to do this without creating a new package, for example It is impossible to override the standard skeleton views in the Symfony2 GeneratorBundle

Answer 1

Register your package immediately after the SensioGeneratorBundle in app/AppKernel.php for example:

 // 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 the 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 need to copy the skeleton folder to YourBundle\Resource and change the templates.

To override the editing template, for example, in version 2.3+, copy the file:

 vendor/sensio/generator-bundle/Sensio/Bundle/GeneratorBundle/Resources/skeleton/crud/views/edit.html.twig.twig 

for the catalog:

 app/Resources/SensioGeneratorBundle/skeleton/crud/views/edit.html.twig.twig 

Now just create crud using the default command and it will use the new template.

M2mdas answer worked for me, but only after discovering that it should read

File system instead of FileSystem!

Take a look at the /symfony/.../Filesystem vendors folder to verify this.
