Is it possible to override the template for the form type: "sonata_type_collection"?
Ive tried along these lines:
$formMapper->add('slides', 'sonata_type_collection', array(), array(
'edit' => 'inline',
'inline' => 'table',
'sortable' => 'priority',
'template' => 'MyBundle:Form:slides.admin.html.twig'
));
but to no avail.
I know I could override the entire template, but I only want to do it for this form, not all the places where I use this form type.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks
I found a great bit of code in /vendor/sonata-project/admin-bundle/Sonata/AdminBundle/Form/Extension/Field/Type/FormTypeFieldExtension.php
which actually sets up an array of types to attach to the form view which it uses to prioritise twig block rendering: (lines 99 to 105)
// add a new block types, so the Admin Form element can be tweaked based on the admin code
$types = $view->getVar('types');
$baseName = str_replace('.', '_', $sonataAdmin['field_description']->getAdmin()->getCode());
$baseType = $types[count($types) - 1];
$types[] = sprintf('%s_%s', $baseName, $baseType);
$types[] = sprintf('%s_%s_%s', $baseName, $sonataAdmin['field_description']->getName(), $baseType);
Therefore all I had to do was define a block called mycompany_admin_content_galleries_sonata_type_collection_widget
or mycompany_admin_content_galleries_slides_sonata_type_collection_widget
and it only applies to this admin form :)
To complete this solution in my Admin class I added this function:
public function getFormTheme()
{
return array_merge(
parent::getFormTheme(),
array('MyBundle:Gallery:admin.slides.html.twig')
);
}
and I created MyBundle/Resources/views/Gallery/admin.slides.html.twig
, containing the following:
{% use 'SonataAdminBundle:Form:form_admin_fields.html.twig' %} // I think this
line is not really needed as the base admin's form theme uses this file
{% block my_bundle_content_pages_slides_sonata_type_collection_widget %}
// copied and edited the contents of Sonata/DoctrineORMAdminBundle/Resources/views/CRUD/edit_orm_one_to_many.html.twig
{% endblock %}
