custom entity in frontend

Hello,
I add a custom entity in the backend.
but I can not display it in the frontend with the default layout.

here is my method:

PHP

/** * @Route("/spgevent", name="spg_event") * @Layout() */ public function SpgEventAction() { return array(); }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

/**      * @Route("/spgevent", name="spg_event")      * @Layout()      */     public function SpgEventAction()     {                   return array();     }

how can i add my custom twig?
which block name should I use?
Thanks for your help

Hello, msalmi.kais

Please, could you clarify. How you add new entity? Via entity management, or using migrations?
Also, what exactly do you want to see on front store? Separate page for your entity?

I advice to read documentation for LayoutBundle, starting from quick start guide

hi Viacheslav Bemza,

I added my entity via entity management.
now i want to display the entity in frontend while keeping the default layout.
I created a twig file

PHP

app/Resources/kais/spg.twig

1	app/Resources/kais/spg.twig

my questions are:
– from twig spg.twig how to inherit from layout by default of oro ?
– how to pass the entity from the controller to the twig?

in the annotation of the controller I testet:

PHP

/ **       * @Route ("/spgevent", name = "spg_event")       * @Layout ()       * /

1 2 3 4

/ **       * @Route ("/spgevent", name = "spg_event")       * @Layout ()       * /

and it displays the default layout with no content.

and in the second case I test:

PHP

/ **       * @Route ("/spgevent", name = "spg_event")       * @Template (":kais:spg.html.twig")       * /

1 2 3 4

/ **       * @Route ("/spgevent", name = "spg_event")       * @Template (":kais:spg.html.twig")       * /

and it shows my twig without layout.
can you help me how to do it in the right way? is there a tutorial or example online?

Hi @msalmi.kais

When you work with layouts on frontend, pay attention on this things:

• Look at admin panel System/Configuration/Them/Theme Settings what is your current frontend theme.
• Here documentation https://github.com/oroinc/platform/blob/2.6.0/src/Oro/Bundle/LayoutBundle/Resources/doc/theme_definition.md how to define your own theme.
• For customizing some of routes you should create layout update file with specific path app/Resources/views/layouts/{your theme}/spg_event/layout.yml
• Here example of layout implementation https://github.com/oroinc/platform/blob/2.6.0/src/Oro/Bundle/LayoutBundle/Resources/doc/example.md.

Also this articles should helps your to understand how to use layouts

• https://github.com/oroinc/platform/blob/2.6.0/src/Oro/Bundle/LayoutBundle/README.md
• https://github.com/oroinc/orocommerce/blob/1.6.0/src/Oro/Bundle/ProductBundle/Resources/doc/customize-products.md
