I’ve been doing the SYMFONY jobeet tuto(day 10) and once in the FORMS section, I found that some times we use :

'category_id'  => new sfWidgetFormDoctrineChoice(array('model' => $this->getRelatedModelName('JobeetCategory'), 'add_empty' => false)),

and sometimes we use simply 

'jobeet_affiliates_list' => new sfWidgetFormDoctrineChoice(array('multiple' => true, 'model' => 'JobeetAffiliate')),

Can anyboody explain to me WHY? and HOW is it working ?
why ,sometimes,do we use getRelatedModelName?? and why somtimes ‘model’ => ‘myModel’???

    Pretty much same thing, but, you can only use getRelatedModelName when there’s a relation between the current form’s model and the model you need in your widget. For example, if there’s a relation defined between Article and Category, you can use getRelatedModelName('Category') in ArticleForm (usually a relation is defined).

    In both cases (when a relation exists/does not exist) you can just write the model as a string 'model' => 'JobeetAffiliate'. I usually do that.
