[symfony-users] Re: Multiple objects' forms on one page
Those pointers helped a lot. I found lots of articles now. It seemes,
'embed(ded) forms' and 'nest(ed) form(s)' are the correctly wording to
get the most results for searches. Thank you very much. I will look at
these resources now. :-)

[symfony-users] Re: Multiple objects' forms on one page
Hi,
I think the big problem I ran into is the symfony 1.2 book claims to
be the primary reference but contains no documentation on forms. It
was a whlie before I realized I had to read the forms book too!
Regardless, the forms book doesn't have any examples on embedding. I
had to experiment with it a bit, but I got the embedding to work, but
a lot of this really involved looking through symfony source code
since a lot of stuff really isn't documented at all. This is a big
change from me coming from the J2EE world, and it certainly doesn't
hold up to out of box sales pitch that hooked me into symfony.
Nevertheless, I really have found the framework to do pretty much
everything I want - there just isn't enough documentation yet.
If you do a search, I think you might find a post from me a couple of
months back where another user really helped me out a lot by giving a
comprehensive pseudocode example of what I needed to do. It may help
with your learning curve.

[symfony-users] Re: Multiple objects' forms on one page
I'm almost there. The Symfony 1.2 book is OK, but the website on forms
seems a lot better. (Almost there means ready to ask more
questions :-) The learning curve is VERY steep on this thing. Not as
bad as reading through 'Oracle Speak' documentation, but at least 40%
as involved.
If nothing else, I will help leave a trail on this subject on the
groups.

[symfony-users] Re: Multiple objects' forms on one page
Hey Dennis,
you should be able to embed related forms in each other.
Sounds like the userform should be your starting point, and in the
configure function do something like:
foreach($this -> object -> getAddresses() as $key => $address)
{
$this -> embedForm("form_".$key, new AddressForm($address);
}
It gets a little tricker when you want to create a new user and new
addresses at the same time, since you also need to associate the
entities with each other before you embed the forms, but that's the
general idea.. feel free to ask about specifics once you get there.

[symfony-users] Re: Multiple objects' forms on one page
No 'bytes' huh? I bought a lot of books on symfony/doctrine, guess I'll look at those. PS, DON'T use 'char(acter)' fields in a Doctrine/Postgresql combination. The fields stay zero padded and when a field gets edited, it ends up too long, even if the original version, unedited, is saved. Doctrine/Postgresql is not ready for prime time unless you want to work around the bugs.
