I've been going at this problem for hours now so I figured I better just ask for help to avoid my head exploding soon ...
I'll paste some snippets and then try to explain. >> yaml mapping for doctrime ORM GoGreat\DemoBundle\Entity\DemoUser: oneToMany: comments: targetEntity: DemoComment mappedBy: author cascade: ["persist"] GoGreat\DemoBundle\Entity\DemoComment: manyToOne: author: targetEntity: DemoUser inversedBy: comments >> DemoUser entity class GoGreat\DemoBundle\Entity\DemoUser { public function addComments($comments) { $comments->setAuthor($this); $this->comments[] = $comments; } } >> DemoUserType form class GoGreat\DemoBundle\Form\DemoUserType { public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options) { $builder->add('name', 'text'); $builder->add('comments', 'entity', array( 'class' => 'GoGreat\DemoBundle\Entity\DemoComment', 'property' => 'body', 'expanded' => true, 'multiple' => true, )); } } >> this does work $user = new DemoUser(); $comment = new DemoComment(); $user->addComments($comment); $em->persist($user); $em->flush(); >> this doesn't work $form = $this->get('form.factory')->create(new DemoUserType()); $request = $this->get('request'); $user = new DemoUser(); $em = $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager'); $form->setData($user); if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') { $form->bindRequest($request); if ($form->isValid()) { foreach ($user->getComments() as $comment) { var_dump($comment->getBody(), $comment->getAuthor()); } $em->persist($user); $em->flush(); } } the var_dump just before the persist does throw out the body, but it doesn't have an author. I think the form isn't using DemoUser->addComments to set the comments, but how else could it set the comments? What am I doing wrong? If the examples aren't clear enough I can put the demo bundle on github for you to check ... -- If you want to report a vulnerability issue on symfony, please send it to security at symfony-project.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
