symfony - Sonata Media: Change context programmatically -

i'm writing little blog app user can publish public , private news. users can attach files these news. have 2 contexts app: public_news, files can accessed everyone; , private_news, files can accessed if user has log on.

i want able move files public_news context private_news context when user changes news public private, , vice versa.

i hoping simple $media->setcontext('private_news');, won't move physical file 1 directory other.

what think recreating media?

$oldmedia = getyouroldmedia();  // $media = clone($oldmedia); # me didn't work expected                               # ymmv - didn't spend lots wondering $media = new media();  // work fine image , file provider,  // not tested other providers $pool = $container->get('sonata.media.pool'); $provider = $pool->getprovider($oldmedia->getprovidername()); $media->setbinarycontent($provider->getreferencefile($oldmedia));  }  $media->setprovidername($oldmedia->getprovidername()); $media->setcontext('private_news'); /* copy other data you're interested in */  $mediamanager->save($media); $mediamanager->delete($oldmedia);  

$mediamanager->delete might not delete physical files depending on provider, might want create own provider if wish so.

edit:

on further research found out can manualy delete files before deleting old media:

if ($pool->getfilesystem()->has($path)) {     $pool->getfilesystem()->delete($path); } 

but don't before saving new media entity.
