Add your behavior in a new file in :

lib/vendor/symfony/lib/plugins/sfPropelPlugin/lib/behavior/SfPropelBehaviorMyBehavior.php

Edit SfPropelBehaviorSymfony.php and add a loader for your new Behavior. Example :

public function modifyDatabase()
{
foreach ($this->getDatabase()->getTables() as $table)
{
$behaviors = $table->getBehaviors();

[…………]

// MyBehavior
if (!isset($behaviors[‘symfony_mybehavior’]))
{

$class = Propel::importClass($this->getBuildProperty(‘propel.behavior.symfony_mybehavior.class’));
$behavior = new $class();
$behavior->setName(‘symfony_mybehavior’);
$behavior->setParameters($parameters);
$table->addBehavior($behavior);

}

Edit config/propel.ini and add a new line with your new behavior

Rebuild your full models and enjoy !

If you encounter an issue with onkeydown event on filter fields, there is a bug in sfDataGridPlugin.

Edit sfDAtaGridFormatterPropel.class.php and add the missing “&” in url building :

$url = $object->_get(‘moduleAction’) . ‘?’ . $this->P_PAGE . ‘=1&‘ . $suffix . ‘&’ . $this->P_SORT . ‘=’ . $object->_get(‘sortBy’) . ‘&’ . $this->P_ORDER . ‘=’ . $object->_get(‘sortOrder’);

Use option during sfForm construction.

for example in your action:

$form = new myForm(null, 
                   array('attributeFoo' => 
                         $this->getUser()->getAttribute('attributeFoo'));

and then retrieve the value inside the form class:

$this->getOption(‘attributeFoo’);

A very good and well documented Symfony Datagrid component (plugin) :

In need to tweak config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php file in order to import a project to a sandbox symfony workspace.

The path to sfCoreAutoload was never good between web and cli symfony.

Here is the trick :

if (!@include_once ‘./lib/vendor/symfony/lib/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php’) {
include_once ‘../lib/vendor/symfony/lib/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php’;
}
sfCoreAutoload::register();

Un bug semble s’être glissé dans le formulaire d’administration du plugin symfony sfGuardUser.

“The item has not been saved due to some errors.” (when you try to save the form)

The fix :

It would seem the cause of the issue is on line 44 of the sfGuardUserAdmin form class.

Removing that solves the problem.
