When i was up against this i took a look at how sfGuard went about
embedding the user profile fields. IT actually doesnt use embedForm but
rather embedFields. What the preference is for one or the other and the
use case for each im not sure. Id suggest taking a look at how that
works. There are basically two methods it uses... a special getter for
the profile or "embeddedObject" and a getterto get the PRimaryKey field
name of the embedded object so that the field can be unset as needed.
Additionally, updateObject and updateDefaultsFromObject are overridden
to make sure that the embedded stuff is updated as well.
What i did was to extend the primary form because there were instances
when i would want to use it by itself. Then i added those methods with
some edits to give it the behavior i needed and didnt need (for example
the getPrimaryKey method wasnt really necessary since my embedded stuff
didnt need to be configurable, this name was always going to be static).
The challenge i came across was that my embeded fields/form utilized
many2many relationships. So what i did here was copy all the methods
from my embedded forms base class, then i edited those to make a call
to my special getter for the embeddedObject instead of the default
object. so in my save*List() methods:
...
$obj = new Relationship();
$obj->setRelatedId($this->object->getPrimaryKey());
...
BECAME
...
$obj = new Relationship();
$obj->setRelatedId($this->getEmbeddedObject()->getPrimaryKey());
...
In addition to this i had to refactor the doSave methods a bit as well.
I hope that helps.
