Symfony 2 Inline Forms Using One to Many db Relationships

Question

I have a problem with nesting forms from different objects in one form, my form is displayed with the name first [input] lastname [input] - but the address has no input next to it.

Basically, I want to create a form in which the user can add a name, surname, address1, address2, city, country, etc. and present it as one, although these are different tables.

The main form is not a problem, the only problem I encountered is the second inline form. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my code:

Member Class:

namespace Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity; use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; /** * Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Member */ class Member { /** * @var integer $id */ private $id; /** * @var string $firstName */ private $firstName; /** * @var string $lastName */ private $lastName; /** * @var Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Address */ private $address; /** * @var Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Telephone */ private $telephone; public function __construct() { $this->address = new \Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection(); $this->telephone = new \Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection(); } /** * Get id * * @return integer */ public function getId() { return $this->id; } /** * Set firstName * * @param string $firstName */ public function setFirstName($firstName) { $this->firstName = $firstName; } /** * Get firstName * * @return string */ public function getFirstName() { return $this->firstName; } /** * Set lastName * * @param string $lastName */ public function setLastName($lastName) { $this->lastName = $lastName; } /** * Get lastName * * @return string */ public function getLastName() { return $this->lastName; } /** * Add address * * @param Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Address $address */ public function addAddress(\Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Address $address) { $this->address[] = $address; } /** * Get address * * @return Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection */ public function getAddress() { return $this->address; } /** * Add telephone * * @param Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Telephone $telephone */ public function addTelephone(\Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Telephone $telephone) { $this->telephone[] = $telephone; } /** * Get telephone * * @return Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection */ public function getTelephone() { return $this->telephone; } } 

Here is the address class:

 namespace Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity; use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; /** * Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Address */ class Address { /** * @var integer $id */ private $id; /** * @var string $addressType */ private $addressType; /** * @var string $firstLine */ private $firstLine; /** * @var string $secondLine */ private $secondLine; /** * @var string $city */ private $city; /** * @var string $postCode */ private $postCode; /** * @var string $country */ private $country; /** * @var Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Member */ private $member; /** * Get id * * @return integer */ public function getId() { return $this->id; } /** * Set addressType * * @param string $addressType */ public function setAddressType($addressType) { $this->addressType = $addressType; } /** * Get addressType * * @return string */ public function getAddressType() { return $this->addressType; } /** * Set firstLine * * @param string $firstLine */ public function setFirstLine($firstLine) { $this->firstLine = $firstLine; } /** * Get firstLine * * @return string */ public function getFirstLine() { return $this->firstLine; } /** * Set secondLine * * @param string $secondLine */ public function setSecondLine($secondLine) { $this->secondLine = $secondLine; } /** * Get secondLine * * @return string */ public function getSecondLine() { return $this->secondLine; } /** * Set city * * @param string $city */ public function setCity($city) { $this->city = $city; } /** * Get city * * @return string */ public function getCity() { return $this->city; } /** * Set postCode * * @param string $postCode */ public function setPostCode($postCode) { $this->postCode = $postCode; } /** * Get postCode * * @return string */ public function getPostCode() { return $this->postCode; } /** * Set country * * @param string $country */ public function setCountry($country) { $this->country = $country; } /** * Get country * * @return string */ public function getCountry() { return $this->country; } /** * Set member * * @param Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Member $member */ public function setMember(\Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Member $member) { $this->member = $member; } /** * Get member * * @return Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Member */ public function getMember() { return $this->member; } } 

Here is the form member:

 namespace Pomc\MembersBundle\Form\Type; use \Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType; use \Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilder; class MemberType extends AbstractType { public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options) { $builder->add('firstName'); $builder->add('lastName'); $builder->add('address','collection', array( 'type' => new AddressType(), 'allow_add' => true, 'prototype' => true, 'by_reference' => false, )); } public function getDefaultOptions(array $options) { return array('data_class' => 'Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Member'); } /** * Returns the name of this type. * * @return string The name of this type */ function getName() { return 'member'; } } 

Here is the address form:

 namespace Pomc\MembersBundle\Form\Type; use \Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType; use \Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilder; class AddressType extends AbstractType { public function buildForm(Formbuilder $builder, array $options) { $builder->add('firstLine'); } public function getDefaultOptions(array $options) { return array('data_class' => 'Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Address'); } /** * Returns the name of this type. * * @return string The name of this type */ function getName() { return 'address'; } function getIdentifier() { return 'address'; } } 

Here is the controller:

 namespace Pomc\MembersBundle\Controller; use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller; use \Pomc\MembersBundle\Entity\Member; use \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; use \Pomc\MembersBundle\Form\Type\MemberType; class DefaultController extends Controller { public function indexAction($name) { return $this->render('PomcMembersBundle:Default:index.html.twig', array('name' => $name)); } public function newAction(Request $request) { $member = new Member(); $form = $this->get('form.factory')->create(new MemberType()); if($request->getMethod() == 'POST') { $form->bindRequest($request); if($form->isValid()) { $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager(); $em->persist($member); $em->flush(); } } return $this->render('PomcMembersBundle:Default:new.html.twig', array( 'form'=> $form->createView(),)); } } 

Here is the template:

 <form action="{{ path('member_new') }}" method="post" {{ form_enctype(form)}}> {{ form_widget(form) }} <div> {{ form_row(form.address)}} </div> <input type="submit" /> </form> 

I have been a user of this site for a long time, but this is my first question.

thanks

Answer 1

Oh, I ran into the same problem, but found a solution, hope this helps you :-)

You forget to add the address object to the member object.

In your action you will need to do the following:

 $member = new Member(); $member->addAddress(new Address()); $form = $this->createForm(new MemberType(), $member); 

And then in your template:

  {% for address in form.address %} {{ form_widget(address.firstLine) }} {% endfor %} 

Btw your widget 'firstline' does not apply to the entity property.

Btw, if you call addAddress twice, you will naturally get two first-line widgets in your form.

Hope this works. good luck.

Llewellyn, you mean something like thid:

public function editAction ($ id) {$ em = $ this-> getDoctrine () → getManager ();

  $entity = $em->getRepository('imBundle:Inspecciones')->find($id); $entity_valores = $em->getRepository('imBundle:ValoresInspecciones')->findByInspecciones($id); if (!$entity) { throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find Inspecciones entity.'); } $entity->setValoresInspecciones($entity_valores); $editForm = $this->createEditForm($entity); $deleteForm = $this->createDeleteForm($id); return $this->render('imBundle:Inspecciones:edit.html.twig', array( 'entity' => $entity, 'edit_form' => $editForm->createView(), 'delete_form' => $deleteForm->createView(), )); }
