copied!<p>The @pankar answer is almost good. But the <code>$this->form->save()</code> will override the <code>setLink</code>.</p> <p>First of all, define the function to retrieve the youtube id, as defined <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6556662/569101">here</a> in a new <em>tools</em> class: <code>lib/myTools.class.php</code></p> <pre><code><?php class myTools { /** * Get youtube video ID from URL * * @see https://stackoverflow.com/a/6556662/569101 * @param string $url * @return string Youtube video id or FALSE if none found. */ public static function youtube_id_from_url($url) { $pattern = '%^# Match any youtube URL (?:https?://)? # Optional scheme. Either http or https (?:www\.)? # Optional www subdomain (?: # Group host alternatives youtu\.be/ # Either youtu.be, | youtube\.com # or youtube.com (?: # Group path alternatives /embed/ # Either /embed/ | /v/ # or /v/ | /watch\?v= # or /watch\?v= ) # End path alternatives. ) # End host alternatives. ([\w-]{10,12}) # Allow 10-12 for 11 char youtube id. $%x' ; $result = preg_match($pattern, $url, $matches); if (false !== $result) { return $matches[1]; } return false; } } </code></pre> <p>Then, update your action with this:</p> <pre><code>if ($this->form->isValid()) { // save the form $song = $this->form->save(); // update saved value $youtube_id = myTools::youtube_id_from_url($song->getLink()); $song->setLink($youtube_id); $song->save(); $this->getUser()->setFlash('notice', 'Thank you, the song has been added'); $this->redirect('@homepage'); } </code></pre> <p>By the way, this method is ok if you use your form in <strong>only one place</strong>. Since the update is perform in the action and not in the form class. Otherwise, as @glerendegui said, you will have to do this action in the form class. But I will rather do it in the <code>doUpdateObject</code> instead of <code>doSave</code>. Since the code says:</p> <pre><code> /** * Updates the values of the object with the cleaned up values. * * If you want to add some logic before updating or update other associated * objects, this is the method to override. * * @param array $values An array of values */ abstract protected function doUpdateObject($values); </code></pre> <p>So I will do it in this way, inside your form (<code>lib/form/doctrine/yourForm.class.php</code>):</p> <pre><code>class yourForm extends BaseYourForm { public function configure() { } protected function doUpdateObject($values) { $youtube_id = myTools::youtube_id_from_url($values['link']); $this->getObject()->setLink($youtube_id); return parent::doUpdateObject($values); } } </code></pre>
