Hi Mike, And welcome to using Sonata Admin, I think you'll find it very powerful the more you learn of it. Like you, when first using Sonata I was very frustrated so I'll try to answer your questions without digging too deep, I strongly recommend reading every single line of the manual again and again and experiment to get the most out of it; until the reference gets upgraded, that's the best approach.

Look in the Sonata Vendor bundle at the following namespace for the code you should copy Sonata\AdminBundle\Controller\CRUDController - With the normal controller present, add your form in like you would any other Symfony form I hope this helps you out, stick with it though. Sonata Admin is really worth it once you pass the initial frustration, I almost binned it so many times! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sonata-users" group.
