Sonata admin, custom query in filter

Question

I'm using SonataAdminBundle and I have a question about filters in the class MyEntityAdmin.

I have a first function protected function configureFormFields(FormMapper $formMapper) for list all fields to be shown on create/edit forms.

If I have a field type entity, I can do something like this:

->add('commercial', 'entity', array(
                'class' => 'MyBundle:User',
                'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) {
                  return $er->createQueryBuilder('u')
                            ->groupBy('u.id')
                            ->orderBy('u.id', 'ASC')
                            ->setParameters(array(1 => 'Commercial'));
              },)
            )

But I have another function protected function configureDatagridFilters(DatagridMapper $datagridMapper) for Fields to be shown on filter forms, and I have do to the same thing, a custom query on an entity field type, but if I do the same, I have the error:

No attached service to type named `entity`  

How can I do that ?

Answer 1

Filters configuration is quite different than form configuration in sonata admin bundle.

Look at documentation: http://sonata-project.org/bundles/doctrine-orm-admin/master/doc/reference/filter_field_definition.html

When you add new filter through configuratDataFilters it receives parameters: field name, filter type, filter configuration, form field type and form field configuration.

So if you want only to override query_buider for entity choice type you should try call like this:

->add('commercial', null, array(), 'entity', array(
          'class' => 'MyBundle:User',
          'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) {
               return $er->createQueryBuilder('u')
                         ->groupBy('u.id')
                         ->orderBy('u.id', 'ASC')
                         ->setParameters(array(1 => 'Commercial'));
           }
))
