Question

When calling a form using

print $widget->render()

rather than printing

<li>
       <label ...>
       <input ...>
</li>

How can I have it print

<p>
    <label ...>
    <input ...>
</p>

PS: in my form:

public function configure()
{
    $this->widgetSchema->setFormFormatterName('list');
}

You will have to create your own form schema formatter class as explained here. For example, to use a paragraph you can just redeclare the $rowFormat variable:

#lib/widget/sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterParagraph.class.php

class sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterParagraph extends sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatter
{
    protected $rowFormat = "<p>
                         %label% \n %error% <br/> %field%
                         %help% %hidden_fields%\n</p>\n";
}

If you want to use this format for all forms of your project add it to your ProjectConfiguration class (and remove the $this->widgetSchema->setFormFormatterName(‘list’) from your form):

class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
{
    public function setup()
    {
      // ...

      sfWidgetFormSchema::setDefaultFormFormatterName('paragraph');
    }
 }

If you want to use it only for one form, add this your form class:

    public function setup()
    {
         $this->widgetSchema->addFormFormatter('paragraph', new sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterParagraph($this->widgetSchema));
         $this->widgetSchema->setFormFormatterName('paragraph');
         parent::setup();
    }
