I have the form with user fields. I want to display checkboxes list of languages. Checked languages must be saved to database.
So I have 2 entity classes: User and UserSiteLanguage. See below ORM and Entity classes for them. 'fos_user_user' table doesn't contains any real fields for languages. And 'user_site_language' is a table that contains a binding selected languages to users.
User.orm.xml
<entity name="UserBundle\Entity\User" table="fos_user_user">
<id name="id" type="integer" column="id">
<generator strategy="AUTO"/>
</id>
<!-- Profile fields -->
...skipped ...
<one-to-many field="siteEnabledLanguages" target-entity="UserBundle\Entity\UserSiteLanguage" mapped-by="user">
<cascade>
<cascade-all/>
</cascade>
</one-to-many>
</entity>
UserSiteLanguage.orm.xml
<entity name="UserBundle\Entity\UserSiteLanguage"
table="user_site_language">
<unique-constraints>
<unique-constraint name="user_site_lang_locale_idx" columns="user_id,locale" />
</unique-constraints>
<lifecycle-callbacks>
<lifecycle-callback type="prePersist" method="prePersist" />
<lifecycle-callback type="preUpdate" method="preUpdate" />
</lifecycle-callbacks>
<id name="id" type="integer" column="id">
<generator strategy="AUTO"/>
</id>
<field name="locale" column="locale" type="string" length="5" />
<many-to-one field="user" target-entity="UserBundle\Entity\User" inversed-by="siteEnabledLanguages">
<join-column name="user_id" referenced-column-name="id" />
</many-to-one>
</entity>
User.php
class User extends BaseUser{
private $siteEnabledLanguages;
/**
* Add siteEnabledLanguage
*
* @param \UserBundle\Entity\UserSiteLanguage $siteEnabledLanguage
*
* @return User
*/
public function addSiteEnabledLanguage(\UserBundle\Entity\UserSiteLanguage $siteEnabledLanguage)
{
$this->siteEnabledLanguages[] = $siteEnabledLanguage;
return $this;
}
/**
* Remove siteEnabledLanguage
*
* @param \UserBundle\Entity\UserSiteLanguage $siteEnabledLanguage
*/
public function removeSiteEnabledLanguage(\UserBundle\Entity\UserSiteLanguage $siteEnabledLanguage)
{
$this->siteEnabledLanguages->removeElement($siteEnabledLanguage);
}
/**
* Get siteEnabledLanguages
*/
public function getSiteEnabledLanguages()
{
return $this->siteEnabledLanguages;
}
}
UserSiteLanguage.php
class UserSiteLanguage
{
private $locale;
private $id;
private $user;
// getters, setters
}
class AbstractUserFormType extends AbstractType
{
...
->add('siteEnabledLanguages', 'entity', array(
'choices' => $this->getLocaleList(),
'class' => 'UserBundle:UserSiteLanguage',
'property' => 'locale',
'multiple' => true,
'expanded' => true,
))
protected function getLocaleList()
{
$localesList = array();
$locales = $this->container->getParameter('lexik_translation.managed_locales');
foreach ($locales as $locale) {
$localeName = Intl::getLocaleBundle()->getLocaleName($locale);
$localesList[$locale] = $localeName;
}
return $localesList;
}
}
On my FormType I try to display locales list using 'entity' field type. I get locale list from config file. When I use this FormType, I get error: 'Expected argument of type "object or array", "string" given'.
Which could be the problem?
