Hello.

I want a dropdownmenu for my genderselection in the useradministration app. Gender is stored in an varchar(1). In the generated CRUD the gender input is a textfield. For easy usage this schould be a dropdown menu with the values M(ale) F(emale) and U(nkown).

Who can help me?

Replace the 'gender' in 'display:' by '_gender' to use a partial field.

Then in the templates dir, create a '_gender.php' file with:

<select name="gender" id="gender">
  <option value="M">Male</option>
  <option value="F">Female</option>
  <option value="U" selected="selected">Unknown</option>
</select>

And that's it.

One thing to remember with the admin generator: it doesn't limit you. It there is something that it doesn't do, just use a partial field and do it yourself.

Nice!
Next thing. How can I set the selected for a excisting user?
My app is called 'backend' and my 'module' is called users. My model is generated by propel. I used $users->getGender() to access the gender of a object from Tblusers.php but this doesn't work. The error i get is

Notice: Undefined variable: users 
Fatal error: Call to a member function getGender() on a non-object

What is the correct way then?

did you try $tblusers->getGender() ?

Buy the way, it is recommended to name your tables with singular names when you use symfony.

I tried that. It doesn't work Sad

How do i get singular from my build-model? All my tables in the database are named like tblUsers, tblUserRoles, etc. Then when i use symfony propel-build-schema and after that symfony propel-build-model al the generated names in the model are called like Tblusers and Tbluserroles. Can this be the cause for my problem?

I don't think that it's the cause of your problem. And note that the actual table names (in your database) and the Propel name for the corresponding object can be completely distinct, that's what the phpName attribute is made for.

For your variable problem, normally $users should work, so I advise you to look at the generated code in the cache/ folder to see hpw the current object is named.

It works! Thanks for the support!
My _gender_dropdown.php

<?php 
echo select_tag('gender', options_for_select(Array('U' => 'Unknown', 'M' => 'Male', 'F' => 'Female'), $tblusers->getGender()))
?>

And the generator.yml

generator:
  class:              sfPropelAdminGenerator
  param:
    model_class:      Tblusers
    theme:            default
    
    fields:
      gender_dropdown:  { name: Gender }

    edit:
      display:
        "General information":  [surname, firstname, _gender_dropdown]

And I will regenerate my model using phpName.

My question is slightly off-topic but I think it fits in this thread.

I want to create product categories with different cultures. I store supported cultures in a culture table.
The create category form has a culture dropdown list populated from the culture table thanks to a _culture partial but it feels a bit clumsy.

Is there an easy way to generate a dropdown list with data from the culture table with generator.yml ?
