Question

I’m using Symfony 1.2 in a standard Propel form class.

public function configure() {     $this->setWidgets(array(  'graduate_job_title' => new sfWidgetFormInput( array(), array( 'maxlength' => 80, 'size' => 30, 'value' => '' ) )     ));     //etc } 

However, I want the value of this field to come from the user information, which I’d normally access using $this->getUser()->getAttribute( '...' ). However, this doesn’t seem to work in the form.

What should I be using?

Answer 1

Does that work?

sfContext::getInstance()->getUser()->getAttribute('...'); 

// Edit : See cirpo’s recommandation on the use of sfContext instead.
