Ok this is how I did it, but everything is outside a form / table class: Partial to override default admin generator field venue_id _venue_id.php ------------------------
<?php use_helper('Javascript')?> <div class="sf_admin_form_row sf_admin_foreignkey"> <?php echo $form['venue_id']->renderError() ?> <div> <?php echo $form['venue_id']->renderLabel('Venue') ?> <?php $w = new sfWidgetFormDoctrineChoice(array('model' => 'District', 'add_empty' => '--Filter by District--')); echo $w->render('district_id', null, array('id' => 'district')); ?> <?php echo observe_field('district', array( 'update' => 'district-select', 'url' => '/admin.php/course/selectVenue', 'with' => "'district=' + value", 'loading' => "Element.show('indicator');Element.hide('gp- select')", 'complete' => "Element.hide('indicator');Element.show('gp- select')", )) ?> » <span id="district-select"><?php echo $form['venue_id']->render ($attributes) ?></span> <div id="indicator" style="display: none"></div> </div> </div> AJAX action to return filtered select --------------------------------------------------- public function executeSelectVenue($request){ $this->forward404Unless($request->isXmlHttpRequest()); $this->forward404Unless($request->hasParameter('district')); $q = Doctrine_Query::create() ->from('Venue v') ->where('v.district_id = ?', $request->getParameter('district')); $w = new sfWidgetFormDoctrineChoice(array('model' => 'Venue', 'query' => $q)); return $this->renderText($w->render('course[venue_id]')); } It feels odd to create widgets in the partial / action but overkill to create an additional class? What does everyone think? I'll make a snipeet of this when its tidy!
