But, the validator only converts back from the form. I´m talking about fields that needs to be converted from the model to the form and then back from the form to the model. For instance:
I use a date in doctrine: 2005-08-07 When I need to convert it to a plain text date widget, the widget will convert it here to 07/08/2005. So the widget will convert it TO the form. As far as I know the validator wont work at this point ( I might be wrong, of course ) . But then I have a value '2005-08-07' that, when sent to the validator, it gets converted to '07/08/2005'. When the form is bound and the user had typed a not valid date, for instance: "99/99/abcd". The form framework will get the "99/99/abcd" value and send it to the widget. Then the widget wont be able to convert it. Or even worse, when the user types a right value either, but gets an error on another place of the form, the widget will try to convert the righ value (for instance: "07/08/2005"). But the widget is not expecting the value on this format, it is expecting on the 2005-07-07 format, so I will get an error even if the user types the right format. Please, help me to understand it better, I think I´m missing something here.
