Question

I’m currently using a choice field (with the option “expanded” set to true) to display a list of radio buttons to select a value. I’d like to change the way it is rendered by $view['form']->widget() and already have another global template in src/MyProject/ABundle/Resources/views/Form/choice_widget.html.php which can not be changed.

How do I specify a new template for the radio buttons in a php view (no twig)?

Answer 1

While coming back, here is how it can easily be done but the symfony official doc is not clear.

Put your choice_widget.html.php in src/YourProject/YourBundle/Resources/view/Something/ then when you need a radio button themed with it, use:

<?php $view['form']->setTheme($form, array('YourProjectYourBundle:Something')) ?>
<?php echo $view['form']->widget($form) ?>

With $form being your form view.
