	}
```

[](#add-bundle-class-in-kernel)

```
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
        ...
        new Knp\Bundle\PaginatorBundle\KnpPaginatorBundle(),
        new Stof\DoctrineExtensionsBundle\StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle(),
        new Citrax\Bundle\DatabaseSwiftMailerBundle\CitraxDatabaseSwiftMailerBundle(),

        );

[](#configuring)

### Update database

[](#update-database)

Update your database schema to create the necessary entities.

```
$ php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force
```

### Update swiftmailer config

[](#update-swiftmailer-config)

Change your spool type from memory to db in your config.yml

```
    spool:     { type: db }
```

### Overriding default templates

[](#overriding-default-templates)

You may want to override the default template to have the look and feel of your application. You can do it by creating a new bundle and defining its parent as CitraxDatabaseSwiftMailerBundle.

1. Create a new empty bundle E.g. EmailBundle
2. Edit its bundle class and add a getParent() method returning 'CitraxDatabaseSwiftMailerBundle'

```
class EmailBundle extends Bundle
{
    public function getParent()
    {
        return 'CitraxDatabaseSwiftMailerBundle';
    }
}
```

3. Create a twig template inside your new bundle in Resources/views/layout.html.twig and edit it to fit into your application layout. See the example below:

```
{% extends 'AppBundle::base.html.twig' %}

{% block title %}Email Spool{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
    {% block database_swiftmailer_content %}{% endblock %}
{% endblock %}
```

4. All done!

### Extra config
