The problem I'm facing is I have to create a selectbox in a form that holds all the parent entities (Category Entity). Now i managed to do this with:
$builder->add('parent', 'entity', array(
'class' => 'KprCentarZdravljaBundle:Category',
'query_builder' => function($repository) use ($param, $catID) {
return $repository->createQueryBuilder('p')
->where('p.id != :id AND p.parent = :parent')
->setParameters(array('id' => $param, 'parent' => $catID));},
'property' => 'name',
'required' => false,
'attr' => array('data-placeholder' => '--Izaberite Opciju--'),
));
As u can see i pass 2 arguments first is the current category.id(a category cant be its own parent) and a second which is a parent id, because i want all the children from that parent. This works nice but it doesn't give me the parents children's children. I created a CategoryRepository with a recursive function that returns all the children:
<?php
namespace Kpr\CentarZdravljaBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use Kpr\CentarZdravljaBundle\Entity\Category;
class CategoryRepository extends EntityRepository
{
public function findByParenting($parent)
{
$qb = $this->getEntityManager()->createQueryBuilder();
$qb->add('select', 'cat')
->add('from', 'KprCentarZdravljaBundle:Category cat')
->add('where', 'cat.parent = :parent')
->setParameter('parent', $parent);
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
$query = $qb->getQuery();
$results = $query->getResult();
foreach($results as $result){
if($result->getParent()){
$newResult = $this->findByParenting($result->getId());
$results = array_merge($results, $newResult);
}
}
return $results;
}
}
How can I use the findByParenting($parent) function in a entity field?
I posted the answer: Symfony2 choice field not working. Thanks redbirdo.
