Question

I am using symfony 1.4, doctrine and the csDoctrineActAsSortablePlugin for sorting. But I only need it in subform, so that the uniqueness of the position is disturbing. Is there by any chance a posibility to make it not unique?

I am already thinking of doing it manually but if I can avoid to invent the wheel a second time, I am more than thankful.

Cheers!

Just by looking at the source, I think it’s possible to disable the unique option.

In your schema.yml:

MyModel:
  columns:
    ...
  actAs:
    Sortable:
      unique: false

You could also use the uniqueBy option to set the fieldname which references the parent. It will then create an unique index by both position and the field. Something like this:

MyModel:
  columns:
    parent_id: ~
  actAs:
    Sortable:
      uniqueBy: parent_id
