Just apply to join the plugin on the plugin page, and I'll accept you. I think that then gives you SVN commit access to the repo.
I guess the typical use case for adding custom fields would be where the specification or requirements change after the project has been released - more attributes for a model are required, but it's not searchable data, so doesn't warrant changing the model and an entirely new code release. I've been in that situation before - where 1 new field is needed, and we've needed to change the schema, rebuild the model etc - not a big hassle, but it needs a whole release cycle just for 1 additional piece of information which we just "need recorded". Also, there could be a case where you have a base object - say "vehicle" and you'd dynamically change it for other psuedo-concrete classes by adding custom fields - create "mpv" by adding attributes for 4wd, locking diff, etc. To be honest, I haven't really thought about the use cases - it was just a "wouldn't it be cool if..." idea, based on the fact that I could have used that functionality in the past. Still, as I said - that's something to consider in the future, once the initial functionality for fully dynamic forms/models has been created :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Herrmann" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 10:19:52 AM GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: [symfony-users] Re: sfDynamicFormsPlugin [was: Symfony/Doctrine/Forms with EAV model?] Lee Bolding schrieb: > Hope to have those finished tomorrow night, for check in to SVN. > Unfortunately, at the moment, I can only work on this plugin during > my spare time (but that's also the reason I can make it a public > plugin). I'd love to take a look at it, too.

Sounds interesting, although I miss a typical use case at the moment (perhaps you can give me one). I think I'll have to breed a little over this...
