Hey Ca-Phun,
glad to hear all is good. I also thought I lost some "elegance" in the
process, but only until I started to look at the generator.yml as a
quick&dirty helper, and the form as the refinement tool. Now life is
much nicer ;)
Also, just to add some more info to your solution, the add_empty
option only seems supported in the sfWidgetFormPropelChoice class, not
in the regular sfWidgetFormChoice. In the later version you have to
include the empty option as part of your choices array, and at first I
found it somewhat tricky to add a truly empty element to an array
(without creating a 0 key for it). The solution was
$choices_with_empty = array("" => "") + $choices;
Never used the + operator for arrays before, but this is where it
comes in handy.
Hope is helps someone,
Daniel
