Hi,
I've made a snippet that describes a Symfony 1.1/sfForm based login
form:
http://www.symfony-project.org/snippets/snippet/305
It makes use of:
- string validator, callback validators and combining them in on one
field
- (hidden) input widgets, of course
- CSRF token
- a div based formatter/decorator
- completely i18n on all texts and form elements/errors/helps
- redirection to originally requested URI after a successful login
>= beta 4 is required.
Hope that helps.
Grz,
Jordi
