Question

I have table:

id | cat_id | name
1  | 1      | aaa
2  | 1      | bbb
3  | 2      | ccc
4  | 3      | ddd
5  | 2      | eee
6  | 1      | fff

I can go to site.com/table/edit/id/1
and show me input

name (id 1) [ aaa    ] (i hide other field)

and I can edit id 1. how can I make something:

site.com/table/edit/cat_id/1
and show me:

name (id1) [  aaa   ]
name (id2) [ bbb    ] 
name (id6) [ fff    ]

and i can edit them, and save. How to do this?

You’re not going to achieve this with the default generated forms. But it’s quite easy to create your own form (just extends from sfForm and implement the setup() function). Then add your own logic in the save() function.

Pseudo-code:

class myForm extends sfForm {
  public function setup() {
    $models = //;

    foreach($models as $model) {
       $this->addWidget(new sfWidgetFormInputText());
       $this->addValidator(new sfValidatorString());
    }
  }

  public function save() {
    // loop through the widgets and save if valid.
  }
}

EDIT: Hmm… i think you could also create one form, and add all the edit forms as subforms.
