For some reason when returning this:
return $this->object->getUserInfo();

It can’t access the isNew() method and the fromArray(). But if I do return a new object for example : return new UserInfo() then it works.

Any clue? I am on symfony 1.4!

it works for new – coz at that time both the forms don’t have any value for id – so it works and saves the values properly.

but when the form is rendered in edit – there is a hidden field id with value, and since the mergeForm has the same name field it is not rendered coz it would be identical and create conflict … now when i save the form – this one hidden id is used for both the forms – since the id rendered was the User object id, and not UserInfo – the invalid id error is thrown and the form is invalidated.

I think it will work if i remove the id column from UserInfo – was thinking if there is something on code level i can do to prevent this.

I can’t give you a solution without the code, but I think when you merge forms the fields may not have the same name. You could then use embed form.

But it is strange that it works for the creation but not for the update :s

Very nice tutorial, I’m still using sf1.2 and have “implemented” the above code.

The only difference between the code above is that in both my forms i have a field Id – when i create a new user – every thing works fine, but when i edit the same user – i get id: invalid userinfo id – error.

How can i resolve the conflict of user table id being used in userinfo table?

thanks

Thank you, you made my day

however you ca use embed form function , it’s simply
look to this exemple
http://tech.cibul.org/embedded-forms-with-symfony-1-4-and-jquery/

It should work in symfony 1.4, but never tested the same code with doctrine. Therefore I cannot know for sure if the “retrieveByPk” method exists for Doctrine generated Base Classes.
