symfony-forms

I'm trying to create a form with data in collection type depending on the user being logged. I'm following this chapter of the Symfony cookbook . Everything works fine when the query_builder option is a closure where I get my data from DQL. As the data need to be fetched from different location in code, I would prefer to define the query in the Repository class. Here is the function in my repository : public function findOwnedBy($user) { $query = $this->getEntityManager()->createQuery("SELECT l FROM MyBundle:Article a JOIN a.owndBy u WHERE u.id = :userId"); $query->setParameters(array("userId"

What's the difference between Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager and Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager when using it in a custom form type? I can get the respository using both $this->em->getRepository() and $this->om->getRepository() . class MyFormType extends \Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType { /** * @var Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager */ protected $em; public function __construct(Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager $em) { $this->em = $em; } } Instead of: class MyFormType extends \Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType { /** * @var Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager */ protected $om; public

In my application I've got a couple of form fields with many options. The problem I experienced is similar to this question : getting and parsing all options at every page load is expensive (Twig renders all options over and over again while no client side caching possible). That problem made me create a way to send the options via AJAX to the browser. Fairly simple approach: Get all options (key-value) via AJAX (for example by getting /countries.json) and cache if possible. (in this case it's not very likely country names change very often) Use selectize, select2 or a similar plugin to insert

I am searching for an easy way to add a bundle of fields to each form. I have found a way to extend the AbstractType and use the buildForm method to add more fields. When creating the form I give the name of my new type ( How to Create a Custom Form Field Type ). In my opinion it is an easy way, but it is restricted to one type per form. Is there a better way to achieve anything like that? I have read the cookbook of symfony, but I have only found stuff how to extend an existing form not how to create an own form "template" with my fields. Have you tried using inheritance? This is really

I am using symfony2 and have a form to save the relation of one user to some rules. These rules are setted by the admin user of the company. In this form, after I selected a user to update, I have to select wich rule this user have permission. The problem is that I may have more then one rule with the same name (it's another entity) but the values are different. So, when I build the selectbox I must show the name and the value like: Quantity of items - 10 Quantity of items - 20 Value of the item - 200 Value of the item - 500 But now I just can show without the "- $value" using the code bellow:

With Symfony 2.7 , you could customize a form's name in your EntityType class with the method getName() This is now deprecated. Is there another way to do that with Symfony 3.0 ? I have custom prototype entry_rows for collections that I would need to use in different forms. Since the name of the rows is based on the form's name, I would need to change the later in order to use them with a different form. Matteo You should implements the getBlockPrefix method instead of getName as described in the migration guide here . As example: /** * Returns the prefix of the template block name for this

I would like to use a conditional statement when creating a form in Symfony. I am using a choice widget in general case. If the user selects the option " Other ", I would like to display an additional text box widget . I suppose this can be done in javascript, but how can I still persist the data from 2 widgets into the same property in my entity? I have this so far: $builder->add('menu', 'choice', array( 'choices' => array('Option 1' => 'Option 1', 'Other' => 'Other'), 'required' => false, )); //How to add text box if choice == Other ???? I was planing to use a DataTransfomer, but on 2
