sfEntityAttributeValuePlugin | symfony plugin that allows use

Activate the plugin in your project configuration file (in config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php).
Install the plugin $ symfony plugin:install sfEntityAttributeValuePlugin
Activate the plugin in your project configuration file (in config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php). class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration { public function setup() { //... $this->enablePlugins('sfEntityAttributeValuePlugin'); } }
Apply the EAV behavior to your model in your schema file config/doctrine/schema.yml , ie: Assume that we want to bind dynamic fields to each object of a model called "ParentModel" and then insert data in these fields from a ChildModel who is related as ManyToOne to the "ParentModel", the schema will contain config like this: ParentModel: actAs: EavBehavior: mode: create columns: ... ChildModel: actAs: EavBehavior: mode: insert parent_resource: ParentModel columns: parent_model_id: { type: integer } ... relations: ParentModel: { local: parent_model_id, foreign: id }
Build Eav models and create tables : $ symfony doctrine:build --all alternatively you could build the models, the sql, then run the sql manually
Build (or update) the global resource file to affect unique id for all your models $ symfony eav:init-config Important note: this task will create/update the file resources.yml that hold the models ids, do not change manually this files, this may damage your EAV structure!
Activate the "eav" module in the settings.yml: all: .settings: enabled_modules: [ default, eav ]
publish assets $ symfony plugin:publish-assets
Clear your cache $ symfony cc
Add the sfWidgetFormEav as a widgetSchema in all forms that have the EavBehavior. The sfEntityAttributeValuePlugin is enough smart to render the widget in create or insert mode. # lib/form/doctrine/ParentModelForm.php class ParentModelForm extends BaseParentModelForm { public function configure() { $this->widgetSchema['eav'] = new sfWidgetFormEav($this); } } # lib/form/doctrine/ChildModelForm.php class ChildModelForm extends BaseChildModelForm { public function configure() { $this->widgetSchema['eav'] = new sfWidgetFormEav($this); } }
Add the widget "eav" in the form partial # _form.php echo $form['eav']-> renderRow();
