Symfony 1.4 doctrine admin generator display i18n form fields

Question

My problem is that iam using admin generator for model with some extra virtual attributes which i need to have in generator.yml definitions:

config:
  form:
    display: [name, design_by, description, _images, add_image, _videos, add_video]

But the "description" attribute is in i18n mode of doctrine model s it does'nt exists in core model object anymore - moved into i18n model. So iam getting logical error 'Widget "description" does not exist'.

I tryed somthing like:

config:
  form:
    display: [description_i18n]

but did'nt found solution.

When i cut the form display definition into default, form starts working, but it miss my extra fields _images, add_image, _videos, add_video, so i need to have the definition there.

Google doesnt helped too...

Does anybody know how to define i18n widgets into generator.yml? THX!

Answer 1

I had the same problem.

Diving into the code, I saw that the i18n widgets are grouped into arrays where key are the culture name.

So I tried to set them into my generator.yml:

form:
  display:
    'Name / Description (with translations)': [en, es, fr, it]

And succes!!!

I have done this before and I am not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but in order for Symfony to display i18n fields in the admin generator you need to add a line to each Form class in your project/lib folder.

For instance if you have a Form class in: <myproject>/lib/form/doctrine/MyForm.class.php

Add this to the configure method like so:

  public function configure()
  {
    parent::configure();

    // Add this line.
    $this->embedI18n(array('en', 'de'));
    ...
  }

Change en and de to the languages you have set up. You need to do this for every form object you have.
