SuluContactAccountExtraBundle

Adds a configurable Additional Data tab to Sulu CMS 3.x Contacts and Accounts. Custom fields are stored as a JSON column on the entity — no extra tables, no extra API routes beyond the two provided endpoints.

Features

• Additional Data tab — auto-registered for Contacts and Accounts
• Built-in entities — concrete Contact and Account extending Sulu's base classes with a JSON additionalData field; no project entities required
• Generic REST API — GET/PUT endpoints serialize the full JSON blob; the project form defines the fields
• Zero-config entity registration — sulu_contact objects and sulu_admin resources are auto-configured via PrependExtensionInterface

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Sulu CMS ~3.0
• Symfony 7.x

Installation

composer require alengo/sulu-contact-account-extra-bundle

Register the bundle in config/bundles.php:

Alengo\SuluContactAccountExtraBundle\AlengoContactAccountExtraBundle::class => ['all' => true],

Import the admin API routes in config/routes/sulu_admin.yaml:

ContactAccountExtraBundle:
    resource: "@AlengoContactAccountExtraBundle/Resources/config/routing_admin_api.yaml"
    prefix: /admin/api

Run a database migration to add the additionalData JSON column:

bin/adminconsole doctrine:migrations:diff
bin/adminconsole doctrine:migrations:migrate

That's it — no further configuration required for a standard setup.

Configuration

All configuration is optional. Defaults work out of the box.

alengo_contact_account_extra:
    contact:
        form_key: contact_additional_data       # default
        resource_key: contact_additional_data   # default
        tab_title: sulu_admin.app.additional_data
    account:
        form_key: account_additional_data       # default
        resource_key: account_additional_data   # default
        tab_title: sulu_admin.app.additional_data

To use custom entity classes:

alengo_contact_account_extra:
    contact:
        entity_class: App\Entity\Contact
    account:
        entity_class: App\Entity\Account

Provided Forms

The bundle does not ship default form XML files — the project controls field definitions. Create your own in config/forms/:

config/forms/contact_additional_data.xml
config/forms/account_additional_data.xml

Example form:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<form xmlns="http://schemas.sulu.io/template/template"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.sulu.io/template/template https://github.com/sulu/sulu/blob/2.x/src/Sulu/Bundle/AdminBundle/Resources/schema/form.xsd">

    <key>contact_additional_data</key>

    <properties>
        <property name="externalId" type="text_line" mandatory="false">
            <meta>
                <title lang="de">Externe ID</title>
                <title lang="en">External ID</title>
            </meta>
