Hey guys, thanks for the reply. I've actually written a few form decorators, and like I said, I like them and for my purposes all is good. However, the end result is usually still a "lenghty" form (since it's always generated in a loop). As the symfony documentation recommends, I'm looking to allow my designer to go down the route of "handcoding" the form elements in place. Sometimes you just need that control..
However, I don't want him to start from scratch. What I would like is a generator, that gets me this far: http://www.symfony-project.org/forms/1_2/en/03-Forms-for-web-Designers#chapter_03_sub_using_the_render_method_on_a_field Basically, an html structure with php intact. That's all :) I'm sure that's possible, and I'll figure it out if I have to, but I was just wondering if something like this already exists, or where I may look for resources. Looks like I'll be taking my first steps on this.. I'll keep you posted. Might be a plugin in the works.
