I just started to use symfony 1.4 and Doctrine. (Used 1.0 - 1.2 +
Propel a lot before).
I thought to give Doctrine a try, because of the fast and huge
Development process in the past.
Thanks to jwage ;-)

Im using Table Inheritance. This is a small portion of my schema.yml:

Articles:
  columns:
    id:
      type: integer(4)
      primary: true
      notnull: true
      autoincrement: true
    marken_id:
      type: integer(4)
      notnull: false
    user_id:
      type: integer(4)
      notnull: false
    address_id:
      type: integer(4)
      notnull: false
...
Vehicles:
  inheritance:
    extends: Articles
    type: concrete

Rennfahrzeuge:
  columns:
    stvo:
      type: boolean
      notnull: false
      default: false
  inheritance:
    extends: Vehicles
    type: concrete
Tourenwagen:
  inheritance:
    extends: Rennfahrzeuge
    type: column_aggregation
    keyField: type
    keyValue: 1
...
Sonstige:
  inheritance:
    extends: Rennfahrzeuge
    type: column_aggregation
    keyField: type
    keyValue: 6

Karts:
  inheritance:
    extends: Vehicles
    type: concrete
TonyKart:
  inheritance:
    extends: Karts
    type: column_aggregation
    keyField: type
    keyValue: 1
...
Sonstige:
  inheritance:
    extends: Karts
    type: column_aggregation
    keyField: type
    keyValue: 9

Im now thinking of using a simple way to create a the right form.
The user should have to select fields at the top of the form (like you
can see here  : http://msm-esv.dyndns.org/frontend_dev.php/fahrzeuge/insert
)

You should choose the "parent class" like Rennfahrzeuge or Karts and
so on.
After that the user should choose the child class like Tourenwagen or
Sonstige.
Then the page should reload and display the right form.

Is there any function in Doctrine to get the inheritated/child classes
for displaying them in the second select field?
(e.g. Rennfahrzeuge has Tourenwagen,..,..., Sonstige and Karts has
TonyKart,...,...,Sonstige)

After that i could create dynamically the assigned form class like:

$chooseMode      = $request->getParameter('chooseMode').'Form';
$modeFormClass = new $chooseMode();

or i have thought about just setting the right model in the parent
form class.

What are your thoughts? I would really appreciate any suggestions and
help :-)

Thanks a lot,
Marco
