copied!<p>I have an application where referees can sign up for different tournaments. For each tournament I need to ask a different set of questions. So I moved the questions into a yaml file and added enough information such that I could create the form elements dynamically. So basically I would have:</p> <pre><code># tourn.yml tourns: opencup: desc: "USSF Open Cup 2013 - Decatur, Alabama - April 12, 13, 14" plan: lodgingNights: Fri: type: radio label: Lodging Friday Night date: '2013-04-12' choices: [No: No, Yes: Yes] default: No Sat: type: radio label: Lodging Saturday Night date: '2013-04-13' choices: [No: No, Yes: Yes] default: No availabilityDays: Fri: type: select label: Availability Friday date: '2013-04-12' default: None choices: None: None Evening: Kickoff 5PM Not Sure: Not Sure etc </code></pre> <p>So the plan array ends up being passed to the plan sub form which in turn creates all the individual form elements. I then have a single plan entity which just stores all the individual selections in an array database column. Seems to work okay.</p> <p>=======================================================================</p> <p>Comment asked for some more code. Here is my "dynamic" PlanFormType"</p> <pre><code>class PlanFormType extends AbstractType { protected $metaData = null; public function getName() { return 'cerad_tourn_person_plan'; } public function setMetaData($data) { $this->metaData = $data; } public function getMetaData( ) { return $this->metaData; } public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $items = $this->getMetaData(); foreach($items as $name => $item) { $isChoice = false; switch($item['type']) { case 'radio': $isChoice = true; $expanded = true; $multiple = false; $attr = array('class' => 'radio-medium'); break; case 'select': $isChoice = true; $expanded = false; $multiple = false; $attr = array(); break; case 'text': $attr = array(); if (isset($item['size'])) $attr['size'] = $item['size']; $builder->add($name,'text',array( 'label' => $item['label'], 'required' => false, 'attr' => $attr, )); break; } if ($isChoice) { $builder->add($name,'choice',array( 'label' => $item['label'], 'required' => false, 'empty_value' => false, 'choices' => $item['choices'], 'expanded' => $expanded, 'multiple' => $multiple, 'attr' => $attr, )); } } } } </code></pre>
