Question

Hy,

What is correctness in symfony to fill a form in two steps? Imagine that we have a entity called Enterprise and we want to create a form with only required fields and another form, that when the user login can fill the other non-required fields.

How is the correctness form? Now i have a form to registration (‘lib/form/doctrine/EnterpriseForm.class.php’) and another (‘lib/form/doctrine/EnterpriseCompleteForm.class.php’).In every class we set labels, validators, … but the problem is in the second form. When i try to submit it gives me an error because i have’nt post required fields defined in model. How can i do that? Is that way correct? How can i fix this?

thanks.

Well Felix, i do it “unset” changes and it works fine… but i have a problem. I try to do update on the same action. My code looks like that.

in actions

 public function executeStepOne(sfWebRequest $request){
    $this->form = new CustomerFormStepOne();

    if ($request->isMethod(sfRequest::POST)){
        $this->processRegisterForm($request, $this->form,'paso2');

    }else{
        $this->customer = Doctrine::getTable('Customer')-> find(1);
                $this->forward404Unless($this->customer);
    }   
  }

where processRegisterForm code is :

protected function processRegisterForm(sfWebRequest $request, sfForm $form,$route)
  {
    $form->bind($request->getParameter($form->getName()), $request->getFiles($form->getName()));    
    if ($form->isValid())
    {
      $customer = $form->save();  
      $this->redirect('customer/'.$route);
    }
  }

if i try to do this they returns me an error ‘primary key duplicate’.
