Answer 1

You have to use a sfForm method called embedRelation. You have to create a new form extending userForm and set (in the configure method) the embed relation with Student.

For example:

class UserStudentForm extends UserForm
{
  public function configure()
  {
    // Existing Student forms
    $this->embedRelation('Student');

    $this->widgetSchema->setNameFormat('user_student[%s]');
  }
}

Check this example that explains perfectly how to use it.
