I'm facing a problem that I can summarize as it follows: I have a TWIG template page like this (reg.html.twig):
{% extends "::base.html.twig" %}
{% block body %}
<ul class="tabs">
<li class="left"><a href="#tab1">tab1</a></li>
<li class="left"><a href="#tab2">tab2</a></li>
<li class="left"><a href="#tab3">tab3</a></li>
<li class="right"><a href="#tab4">tab4</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tabs_container">
<div id="tab1" class="blocco-tab">
<form action="{{ path('AAA') }}" method="post" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>
<div id="name_field">
{{ form_row(form.name) }}
</div><!-- /name_field -->
<div id="address">
{{ form_row(form.addresses[0].road) }}
</div><!-- /address_field -->
</form>
</div>
<div id="tab2" class="blocco-tab">
<form action="{{ path('BBB') }}" method="post" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>
<div id="surname_field">
{{ form_row(form.surname) }}
</div><!-- /surname_field -->
</form>
</div>
</div> <!-- contenitore_tabs -->
{% endblock %}
Fields name, surname and addresses belong to a sample Symfony2 entity Person. addresses is the first and only element of a collection of addresses (I need this as collection for other reasons)
The working JS file is:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$(".blocco-tab").hide();
$("ul.tabs li:first").addClass("active").show();
$(".blocco-tab:first").show();
$("ul.tabs li").click(function() {
$("ul.tabs li").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
$(".blocco-tab").hide();
var activeTab = $(this).find("a").attr("href");
$(activeTab).fadeIn();
return false;
});
});
The Entity file:
class Person {
protected $name;
protected $surname;
protected $addresses;
public function __construct(){
$this->addresses = new ArrayCollection();
}
}
And in the DefaultController:
public function tab1Action(Request $request){
$person = new Person();
$address = new Address();
$addr_coll = new ArrayCollection();
$addr_coll->add($address);
$tab1_type = new Tab1Type();
$person->setAddresses($addr_coll);
$form = $this->createForm($tab1_type, $person);
if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST')
{
$form->bindRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid())
/*ecc ecc ecc*/
}
public function tab2Action(Request $request){
$person = new Person();
$tab2_type = new Tab2Type();
$form = $this->createForm($tab2_type, $person);
if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST')
{
$form->bindRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid())
/*ecc ecc ecc*/
}
Actually I took the way of having every FormType having all fields that I don't need rendered but put 'hidden' and 'property_path' => false, because I can't render only my desired fields cause the other ones will cause errors at runtime (they're null) , but I still get problems handling both cases in a joined way.
Putting every form in a different page (== different Route), with different Controllers, everything works fine, so it's not a problem related to basic use of symfony, It's the integration of N forms in a single page with JQuery UI that makes me cry.
Fixed that I have to use this tabs, how can I solve?
Thanks in advance, I hope I've been clear in explaining my issue.
as I mentioned before I solved wrapping all tabs in a single form. Both of your solutions are ok, thank you for your time.
