I'm using Symfony 2.4. What I am trying to do is to set form attributes on the form level which are accessible to each individual widget.
I have a custom form theme which can render the form slightly differently if it is a horizontal or vertical layout. I'd like to be able to specify { 'horizontal': true } as an attribute on the form, then be able to read it while I'm reading each widget.
Is it possible? I want to avoid needing to do this on every widget.
{{ form_row(form.person.province, {horizontal:true}) }}
{{ form_row(form.person.postalCode, {horizontal:true}) }}
{{ form_row(form.person.phone, {horizontal:true}) }}
couldn't you achieve that in your own form theme?
{% block form_row %}
{% spaceless %}
{% if horizontal|default(true) %} {# or something along these lines #}
...
{% else %}
...
{% endif %}
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock form_row %}

Is there any Symfony2 option to show some separated text fields from one single text field in a form?
Try to use form customization feature. Please check this article for more information -http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/form/form_customization.html
Example:
form_theme.twig.html
{% block file_widget %}
{% spaceless %}
<td>{% set type = type|default('file') %}
<input type="{{ type }}" {{ block('widget_attributes') }} />
</td>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock file_widget %}
template.twig.html
{% form_theme form 'MyBundle:Form:form_theme.html.twig' %}
{{ form_row(form.contract) }}
I'm having a problem rendering a custom individual field.
Adding the external template globally (config.yml) works but adding the same block in the same template doesn't.
form_elements.html.twig
{% block _user_email_widget %}
<h1>test</h1>
{% endblock %}
template.html.twig (won't work)
{% form_theme form 'ProjectUserBundle:Form:form_elements.html.twig' %}
{% block content %}
{{form_widget(form.user)}}
{% endblock %}
config.yml (works)
twig:
form:
resources:
- 'ProjectUserBundle:Form:form_elements.html.twig'
Fixed
The problem was on the template:
{% block content %}
{% form_theme form 'ProjectUserBundle:Form:form_elements.html.twig' %}
{{form_widget(form.user)}}
{% endblock %}
This is the right way to do that
I need my symfony2/twig forms to adhere to a certain condition: All form rows must look similar to this:
{% block form_row %}
<div class="CONSTANT_CLASS class_based_on_field_type class_based_on_error">
{{ form_label(form) }}
{{ form_widget(form) }}
...
</div>
{% endblock form_row %}
Notice that I need to get the field type within the form_row block. Alas, the field type is only defined at the widget level.
I definitely need a way to let my form_row know what type of field it is dealing with.
So i suppose it would be best to somehow override the form_row twig function.
Where can the default twig functions be overridden? And how could this be done?
Remember, this is not about customizing a form. I need to know how to add to existing form variables for existing field types.
#nifr:
The key answer for you seems to be the {% set typeClass ... %}. But there is not a defined variable text anywhere for the template. Look at form_div_layout.html.twig at line 158ff, I think the type really gets set only at the form_widget level and is thus capsulated to be there. That means using the type at the form_row level will aways result in the given default (So it occurred to me while testing). If you can prove this wrong I will happily accept your answer.
How to override the form_row block in Twig adding attributes by field-type?
Though you say this is not about form customization it can be achieved with it ... Quick Introduction for others reading this now.
The default symfony twig form extensions can be found here.
The default twig form theme can be found at Symfony/Bridge/Twig/Resources/views/Form/form_div_layout.html.twig.
General information on how to override forms can be found in the How to Customize Form Rendering chapter of the Book but i will sum this up shortly.
form_row Default
{% block form_row %}
{% spaceless %}
<div>
{{ form_label(form) }}
{{ form_errors(form) }}
{{ form_widget(form) }}
</div>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock form_row %}
Overriding Form Level
Add this to the form template you want to customize:
{% form_theme form _self %}
If you want to put the {% block form_row %} into another bundle/template use this:
{% form_theme form 'AcmeDemoBundle:Form:fields.html.twig' %}
Now insert your custom form_row block after the form_theme declaration or put it into the specified template (in our case this would be AcmeDemoBundle:Form:fields.html.twig).
In my example we will add the class 'error' if there is an error in the form row and a another classname nameely the type name of the current field-type.
{% block form_row %}
{% spaceless %}
{# set class to 'error' if errors exist #}
{% set attr = attr|merge({'class': attr.class|default('') ~ (errors|length > 0 ? ' error' : '') }) %}
{% set typeClass = ' ' ~ type|default('text') %}
{#
you could also implement a logic matching input types with an array of their
desired classname-representations here.
#}
{% set attr = attr|merge({'class': attr.class|default('') ~ type) }) %}
<div class="{% for class in attr.class %}{{ class }}{% endfor %}{{ typeClass }}">
{{ form_label(form) }}
{{ form_errors(form) }}
{{ form_widget(form) }}
</div>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock form_row %}
if you want to apply your form_row block system-wide add your AcmeDemoBundle:Form:fields.html.twig to your twig.templating.form.resources !
# app/config/config.yml
framework:
templating:
form:
resources:
- 'AcmeDemoBundle:Form'
In the form_row block you can use :
{{ form.vars.block_prefixes[2] }}
form.vars.block_prefixes gives you an array with more information and it might change with versions. But from what I have seen so far it is always index 2
I am generating the form in embedded controller action. And now i have faced the following problem. The Form Theming is not working in that case.
So what i have:
The tempalte "page.html.twig"
{% block content %}
{% render 'MyBundle:Widget:index' %}
{% endblock %}
The indexAction() creates the form and rendering another template "form.html.twig" which is normally renders a form using form_row, form_rest and so on.
So, now i am trying to customize form theming, and here is my problem.
When i put the code
{% form_theme form _self %}
in the page.html.twig, i got an error the the form variable does not exists. And its correct, the form var is created later in the embedded controller.
But when i put the theming code in embedded template "form.html.twig", i got another error "Variable "compound" does not exist"
{% block form_label %}
{% spaceless %}
{% if not compound %}
{% set label_attr = label_attr|merge({'for': id}) %}
{% endif %}
{% if required %}
{% set label_attr = label_attr|merge({'class': (label_attr.class|default('') ~ ' required')|trim}) %}
{% endif %}
{% if label is empty %}
{% set label = name|humanize %}
{% endif %}
<label{% for attrname, attrvalue in label_attr %} {{ attrname }}="{{ attrvalue }}"{% endfor %} {% if attr.tooltip is defined %}title="{{ attr.tooltip }}"{% endif %}>{{ label|trans({}, translation_domain) }}{% if required %}<span>*</span>{% endif %}</label>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock form_label %}
This part of code was copied from this file https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/2.1/src/Symfony/Bridge/Twig/Resources/views/Form/form_div_layout.html.twig
So tried someone to do something like this?
Answering my question myself.
It was a small sentence in Symfony2 docs http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/forms.html
This {% form_theme form _self %} functionality will only work if your template extends another. If your template does not, you must point form_theme to a separate template.
So there are two solutions to solve this problem:
move form theme code to the separate file and include it in a embedded template using
{% form_theme form with 'fields.html.twig' %}
leave the form theme code in the same template, where the form will be generated, but extend the template from some "form.html.twig" empty template.
I have only done the second way, and its works, but I am sure the first one will work as well.
I'm trying to customize Symfony2 form rendering to add a class to every select that is generated.
I thought that having a custom form_div_layout.html.twig with:
{% block choice_widget_collapsed %}
{% spaceless %}
<select class='myclass' {{ block('widget_attributes') }}{% if multiple %} multiple="multiple"{% endif %}>
{% if empty_value is not none %}
<option value="">{{ empty_value|trans({}, translation_domain) }}</option>
{% endif %}
{% if preferred_choices|length > 0 %}
{% set options = preferred_choices %}
{{ block('choice_widget_options') }}
{% if choices|length > 0 and separator is not none %}
<option disabled="disabled">{{ separator }}</option>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% set options = choices %}
{{ block('choice_widget_options') }}
</select>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock choice_widget_collapsed %}
and using it with
{% form_theme form 'YOPYourOwnPoetBundle:Form:form_div_layout.html.twig' %}
would do the trick.
However, the class 'myclass' isn't added to the select.
What am I doing wrong?
You should first make sure the theme file you're trying to use has the same name as the name you're using in the form_theme expression and that the file really is there. I can't remember off top of my head whether Twig throws an exception or not in case these do not match.
In addition, you might be accidentally passing a class attribute either when building a form or rendering it. What happens is that your element now has two class attributes.
A workaround is to actually add your new class to the collection of existing ones.
{% block choice_widget_collapsed %}
{% spaceless %}
{% set label_attr = label_attr|merge({class: label_attr.class|default('') ~ ' required'}) %}
{% set attr = attr|merge({class: (attr.class|default('') ~ ' myclass')|trim}) %}
<select {{ block('widget_attributes') }}{% if multiple %} multiple="multiple"{% endif %}>
{# ... #}
</select>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock choice_widget_collapsed %}
This allows you to add any optional class you might need for specific elements later on.
EDIT
Looking at the Sf2 Github repsitory it seems that the theme file has been recently changed. In versions 2.0.* you should be overriding choice_widget, in versions 2.1.* the correct block is choice_widget_collapsed.
I suppose you should either change the form theme line to:
{% form_theme form 'YOPYourOwnPoetBundle:Form:form_div_layout.html.twig' %}
or you need to change the name of your twig file into fields.html.twig
Both have to match.
