Symfony 1.4 Doctrine admin backend application With this simplified schema:
Product: columns: code: { type: string(10) } name: { type: string(100) } DeliveryRow: columns: product_id: { type: integer , notnull: true } qty: { type: decimal(8,2) } relations: Product: { onDelete: RESTRICT , local: product_id , foreign: id, foreignAlias: DeliveryRows } I need to have the product name field on the delivery row form, but the user must not be able to change the product_id value. I tried this in several ways, but none with the desired result. 1) If I do nothing, I get a product combo in the form. It correctly shows the product name, but I cannot put the widget in readonly mode. I can disable it, but this doesn't work, as the validation fails on save... missing product_id. 2) I tried a readonly text input widget. That works quite well for the created_at and updated_at fields... but not in this case. If I use it for the product_id field, it will show the id, and not the product name. I tried setting it on product_name, product and many other variations, but it either doesn't work, or I haven't found the correct way to use that... I just get an empty readonly text input field. 3) I tried a custom field _readonly_product_name, defined in the generator.yml. I wrote a getReadonlyProductName method in the model. Again, I just get an empty readonly text input field. 4) I tried using a partial template field. I read that partials gain automatic access to the current object... so I tried referencing something like $deliveryRow->getProduct()... $deliveryRow- >getProduct()->getName()... and many others... I just got a bunch of undefined variable errors. 5) As a last resort, I was thinking I could embed a special product form in the delivery form, with just the product name field in readonly. I haven't tried this one yet, as it seems a bit more complicated... embedded forms just don't look too right, and I'd have to work on it a bit to make it look like a field in delivery row main form. But I mostly think I just missed something... it wouldn't seem to be that difficult. Any ideas or pointers (tutorials, howtos)?
