Hm, I have this working, but I think another widget class is called
for. Something like sfWidgetFormSelectManyCheckbox (that's a
mouthful). At least having "checkbox" in the class name will help our
web designer friends see what's going on...
class myForm extends sfForm
{
public function configure()
{
$choices = array();
foreach (CategoryPeer::doSelect(new Criteria) as $category)
{
$choices[$category->getId()] = $category->getName();
}
$this->setWidgets(array(
'category_id[]' => new sfWidgetFormSelectRadio(array('choices' =>
$choices), array('type' => 'checkbox')),
));
//etc.........
