POSymfony: How to hide form fields from display and then set values for them in the action class
text
Body
copied!<p>I am fairly new to symfony and I have 2 fields relating to my table "Pages"; created_by and updated_by. These are related to the users table (sfGuardUser) as foreign keys. I want these to be hidden from the edit/new forms so I have set up the generator.yml file to not display these fields:</p> <pre><code>form: display: General: [name, template_id] Meta: [meta_title, meta_description, meta_keywords] </code></pre> <p>Now I need to set the fields on the save. I have been searching for how to do this all day and tried a hundred methods. The method I have got working is this, in the actions class:</p> <pre><code>protected function processForm(sfWebRequest $request, sfForm $form) { $form_params = $request->getParameter($form->getName()); $form_params['updated_by'] = $this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->getId(); if ($form->getObject()->isNew()) $form_params['created_by'] = $this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->getId(); $form->bind($form_params, $request->getFiles($form->getName())); </code></pre> <p>So this works. But I get the feeling that ideally I shouldnt be modifying the web request, but instead modifying the form/object directly. However I havent had any success with things like:</p> <pre><code>$form->getObject()->setUpdatedBy($this->getUser()->getGuardUser()); </code></pre> <p>If anyone could offer any advice on the best ways about solving this type of problem I would be very grateful.</p> <p>Thanks, Tom </p>
