Symfony2: Set flash message after UNsuccessful login

Question

I am using FOSUSerBundle and have successfully overwritten Controllers, Forms and Views.

But I cannot find the correct place to set a flash message after unsuccessful login.

I already tried modifying the checkAction() in SecurityController.php, but it doesnt work.

Where is the correct place to set my flash message?

Thank you very much in advance!

thanks, tttony for the link. i suppose it does what i need, but after trying it out i came to the conclusion, that this approach is way to complicated for what i am looking for. — Chris, May 25 '14 at 18:29

I solved the problem pretty straight-forward:

1.) have overwritten the SecurityController and edited the loginAction

2.) hooked into the case where the login process returns an not empty $error

// in case the login process returns an error...
if ($error) {
    $error = $error->getMessage();

    // ... add the desired flash message to display
    $session->getFlashBag()->add('error', 'my error message here');
}

You dont need to overwrite the controller for it.

I overwrite the login.html.twig file and give the user the errors with the following line:

{% if error %}
        <div class="alert alert-danger">{{ error.messageKey|trans(error.messageData, 'security') }}</div>
 {% endif %}
