Well, let me clarify what I meant. This is based from my understanding of the generators.
The admin generator has two components you can override to add functionnality. First, there's the generator class, and, there's the associated theme, which is in fact a set of code fragments templates that put all together make the admin. For example, I was able to implement sorting on foreign columns (like Tom boutell's first plugin) by overriding the getColumnGetter method. So my plugin simply specify a class that inherits from the standard admin generator, and overrides one or two methods. The problem arise when you need to override the code templates. Your plugin cannot override a single piece, you need to fork the whole thing. So two plugins that change the templates cannot be used together. I hope I'm wrong, but I think not. I think it would be possible without too much work for the symfony team to add the possibilty to override a theme just for a single code template. So you could base your own theme on an existing one, and change , say, the _form.php template. My code isn't available yet, but I'll try to package it real soon. It's sf1.2 / doctrine based Julien On Jan 19, 3:19 pm, weett <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Julien, > > Thanks for your quick reply.
