Doctrine ODM embeded document parent reference

Question

I am working with an embbeded document currently, and I need to get the account information from the parent document to generate an URL. How can I access the parent document from a getter on the embedded document?

/** @Document */
class User
{
    // ...

    /** @EmbedOne(targetDocument="Image") */
    private $image;

    /** @ReferenceOne(targetDocument="Account") */
    private $account;
    // ...
}

/** @EmbeddedDocument */
class Image
{
    private $url;

    public function getUrl(){
       // sudo code. How do I do this?
       return $this->getParent()->getAccount()->getDomain().$this->url;
    }
}

Thanks, Cory

i'm afraid you can't if its embedded when you access Image you do it from User Document

$image = $user->getImage();

so you have also access to account like this

$account = $user->getAccount();

You should write a twig helper or a custom function to build your url from User Document

I hope this help a little
