Question

I have two entity: User and Person. An user is a person and in the User entity I have a method getPerson().

Now I am trying to create a form in order to change th user profile.
In there, I would like to create:

$builder->add('degree', 'entity', array(
        'class' => 'SciForumVersion2Bundle:Degree',
        'property' => 'degree',
));
$builder->add('person.firstname', 'text', array('required'=>true));
$builder->add('person.lastname', 'text', array('required'=>true));
$builder->add('person.address1', 'text', array('label'=>'Address', 'required'=>true));

ETC....

In the twig file, I have to use

<tr>
    <td>
        {{ form_label(form.degree) }}
    </td>
    <td>
        {{ form_widget(form.degree) }}
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>
    {{ form_label(form.firstname) }}
    </td>
    <td>
        {{ form_widget(form.firstname, { 'attr': {'size': 30} }) }}
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>
        {{ form_label(form.lastname) }}
    </td>
    <td>
        {{ form_widget(form.lastname, { 'attr': {'size': 30} }) }}
    </td>

ETC....

But for the

form.firstname
form.firstname

I am geting the exception:

Method "firstname" for object "Symfony\Component\Form\FormView" does not exist in SciForumVersion2Bundle:User:changeProfile.html.twig at line 54

I managed to resolve this problem. What I did is I created an extra entity called PersonUserEntity. In there, I have all the variables I need:

degree
firstname
lastname
address1
...ETC...

Then I am using this entity for the form.

Once the form submitted, I am getting information from this entity and populating the Person and the User entity separetly.

After that, I am using:

$em->persist($person);
$em->flush();

$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
