    <p>I am using Symfony 1.2.9 (with Propel ORM) to create a website. I have started using the admin generator to implement the admin functionality. I am having all manner of problems getting the admin manager to display an object (blog) that has one 1:N relation (blogposts) and one N:M relationship (blogroll).</p> <p>This is proving to be far more difficult than I had ever imagined (and I daresay, than it needs to be). I have already spent two days on this problem and have not made much progress. I am trying to generate admin functionality for a blog.</p> <p>I have posted an abridged version of my schema <a href="http://pastebin.com/m2d7fc594" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="schema">here</a>. Hopefully it will help clarify the problem I am having (maybe I am not explaining the problem clearly enough - but hopefully, the schema should clarify the problem I am facing, and what I'm trying to do). </p> <p>A blog has 0 to 1 blog rolls, 0 to N blog posts attached to it. Each blog post has 0 to M comments attached to it. Currently, I can view a list of blogs. But I want to add 2 interactions (or links) that can make me:</p> <ol> <li>view the blogroll (which is a list of blogs attached to the blog)</li> <li>view the list of blogposts attached to a blog.</li> </ol> <p>When a blogpost list is shown, I want link to show a link (same functionality as before), that allows me to show the list of comments for the selected blogpost.</p> <p>I am sure I am not the first (or only) person that has tried to do this before. Am I going about it the wrong way, is there a better (i.e. more intuitie for the user) way of displaying and performing CRUD on objects with such relationships?. Can anyone out there help?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
