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.
