I think this will answer your question.
Forget the FooEntitySelectionType
. Add a property_path
field option to FooEntitySelectByIdentityType
and set the data_class
option to null
:
class FooEntitySelectByIdentityType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('foo_id', 'entity', array(
'required' => false,
'class' => 'MeMyBundle:FooEntity',
'property' => 'id',
'property_path' => '[id]', # in square brackets!
'multiple' => true,
'expanded' => true
));
}
public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => null,
'csrf_protection' => false
));
}
# ...
and in your controller, build the FooEntitySelectByIdentityType
:
$form = $this
->createForm(
new \Me\MyBundle\Form\Type\FooEntitySelectByIdentityType,
$collection_of_foo
)
->createView()
;
and then in the controller action which receives the POSTed data:
$form = $this
->createForm(new \Me\MyBundle\Form\Type\FooEntitySelectByIdentityType)
;
$form->bind($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
$data = $form->getData();
$ids = array();
foreach ($data['foo_id'] as $entity) {
$ids[] = $entity->getId();
}
$request->getSession()->set('admin/foo_list/batch', $ids);
}
and finally, in your twig template:
{# ... #}
{% for entity in foo_entity_collection %}
{# ... #}
{{ form_widget(form.foo_id[entity.id]) }}
{# ... #}
