Question

Objective:
list a set of records with a checkbox next to each along with a “delete” input. If the user checks one checkbox or multiple checkboxes, the submit action will get the id of each checkbox and delete corresponding record(s).

I know this functionality is provided on the backend, but I’m trying provide the functionality to the frontend users that are logged in.

Update: I can now render the widget correctly, but am still having difficulty capturing the ID of the checkbox(s) that are selected. Help here would be appreciated.

Index page:

<h1>Jobs</h1>
<?php include_partial('list', array('saved_jobss' => $saved_jobss, 'form' => $form)) ?>
//I'm not sure if I can even pass two objects??  

Index action:

  public function executeIndex(sfWebRequest $request)
  {
     $userId = sfContext::getInstance()->getUser()->getId();
     $this->saved_jobss = Doctrine_Core::getTable('saved_jobs')->getSavedJobs($userId);    
     $this->form = new Saved_JobsForm();
  }

Partial page named: _list

<table class="sortable">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Delete</th>
      <th>Company:</th>
      <th>Job name:</th>
      <th>Job No.</th>
      <th>Saved:</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>    
    <?php foreach ($saved_jobss as $saved_jobs): ?>      
    <tr>
      <td> 
          <?php echo $form['id']->renderRow() ?>
      <td>
           <a href="
               <?php 
                   $jobId = $saved_jobs->getJobId();                
                   echo 'job/'.$saved_jobs->getJob($jobId);
               ?>
           ">
               <?php 
                   $jobId = $saved_jobs->getJobId();
                   echo $saved_jobs->getJobCompany($jobId);
               ?>
           </a>
      </td>
      <td>
               <?php 
                   $jobId = $saved_jobs->getJobId();
                   echo $saved_jobs->getJobName($jobId);
               ?>
      </td>
      <td>
               <?php 
                   echo $saved_jobs->getJobId();
               ?>
      </td>
      <td><?php echo date("M-j-y", strtotime($saved_jobs->getCreatedAt())) ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </tbody>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Delete" />
</form>

Action:

  public function executeSubmit(sfWebRequest $request)
  {
      $this->forward404Unless($request->isMethod('post'));
      $params = $request->getPostParameters();                   
      $this->redirect('saved_jobs/deleteConfirmation?'.http_build_query($params));       
  }

Form class:

class Saved_JobsForm extends BaseSaved_JobsForm
{
  public function configure()
  {
      $this->widgetSchema['id'] = new sfWidgetFormInputCheckbox();          
      $this->widgetSchema->setLabel('id', false); 
  }
}

I tinkered with the idea of using javascript, but was unsure if that was the way to go or not. Any help, or a point in the right direction would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Solved: I just passed a link to each record with the action and record Id.
