As you said keeping form object in entity isn't a good idea. It should represents model data.
I've got two solutions for this:
I. Pass array of forms with image id as a key
$officeImages = array();
$imageForms = array();
foreach($company->getOfficeImages() as $image)
{
$form = $this->get('companybundle.imagedescription.form.factory')->createForm();
$form->setData($image);
$imageForms[$image->getId()] = $form->createView();
}
return $this->render('CompanyBundle:Company:Show/show.html.twig', array(
'company' => $company,
'officeImages' => $officeImages,
'imageForms' => imageForms
));
and in show.html.twig
{% for image in officeImages %}
{# your image display code #}
{{ form(imageForms[image.id]) }}
{% endfor %}
II. render partial for single image
in controller
public function showAndEditImageAction(Image $image)
{
$form = $this->get('companybundle.imagedescription.form.factory')->createForm();
$form->setData($image);
return $this->render(
'CompanyBundle:Company:Show/showAndEditImage.html.twig', array(
'image' => $image,
'imageForm' => $form->createView()
));
}
in twigs
{# CompanyBundle:Company:Show/showAndEditImage.html.twig #}
{# your image display code #}
{{ form(imageform) }}
{# CompanyBundle:Company:Show/show.html.twig #}
{% for image in officeImages %}
{{ render(controller('CompanyBundle:Company:showAndEditImage',
{ 'image': image })) }}
{% endfor %}
