Hi,
1. I'm rather new to symfony forms.
2. I have a very large propel entity, which I want to display for
editing using tabs.
3. I would love opinions / pointers. I know this is a bit long...
I thought of implementing it in the form class as something like:
$ws1 = new sfWidgetFormSchema(array(... fields in first group...));
$wd1 = new sfWidgetFormSchemaDecorator($ws1, '<tab_markup>%content%</
tab_markup>');
$ws2 = new sfWidgetFormSchema(array(... fields in second group...));
$wd2 = new sfWidgetFormSchemaDecorator($ws2, '<tab_markup>%content%</
tab_markup>');
$ws_tabs = new sfWidgetFormSchema(array('tab1' => $wd1, 'tab1' =>
$wd2));
$wd_tabs = new sfWidgetFormSchemaDecorator($ws_tabs,
'<tabs_container_markup>%content%</tabs_container_markup>');
$this->widgetSchema['tabs'] = $wd_tabs;
Does this look like a reasonable design ?
Is there an existing widget for that ?
Problems I can think of:
1. Field names - I will get obj[tabs][tab1][fieldname], where all I
want is obj[fieldname] (server side shouldnt care for my tabs upon
submission). I assume this is solvable using nameFormat, although I
still havent figured it out
2. JQuery UI Tabs require this HTML:
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li><a href="#tabs-1">Nunc tincidunt</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-2">Proin dolor</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-3">Aenean lacinia</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1"> bla bla </div>
<div id="tabs-2"> bla bla </div>
<div id="tabs-3"> bla bla </div>
</div>
which means my topmost decorator ($wd_tabs) will have to be smart
enough to access each of the tabs ($wd1, $wd2), to get their names, so
it would be able to print the ul / li structure for JQuery. I assume
this will be done by extending sfWidgetFormSchemaDecorator
Any thoughts ?
