i18n form question [message #68688]

Hello!

I'm trying to put some I18n elements into my form. I tried the sfWidgetFormI18nDate element:

$this->widgetSchema['birthday'] = new sfWidgetFormI18nDate(array(
   'culture'   => 'en',
));

The date format should switch automatically when the user culture gets switched. Am I supposed to add more cultures in the widget options?

Another little question:
The date widget only shows me 2003 to 2013. Is this also an option or where can I configure this?

Regards,
Alex

At least I found a solution to pass the user culture to the form:

$this->form = new myForm(null, array('culture' => $this->getUser()->getCulture()));

public function getCurrentCulture()
{
   return isset($this->options['culture']) ? $this->options['culture'] : 'en';
}

The second thing is still unsolved, does someone know how to configure the date range shown up in the year field? For a birthday field it should show up at least 100 years backwards from the current year.

Hi Mindphreaker,

I had the same problem, too (using symfony 1.2.1)
In the official symfony API there isn't a solution yet (or I don't see it).

But 'sfWidgetFormI18nDate' has a option 'years' in order to define a range of years shown in the form.

Here a snippet I use for my form (also for date of birth):

$currentYear = date("Y");
// save all possible years (for the ages 18 to 100)
$birthdayYears = range($currentYear-118, $currentYear-18);

// set the widget
'birthday' => new sfWidgetFormI18nDate( array('culture' => 'en', 'years' => $birthdayYears) ),

kind regards,
Sn0wm4n

Thanks a lot!

I was searching around in the documentations but could not find such a parameter.

Maybe this code snippet should be implemented in the documentation.

This can also be done using the sfContext:

$this->widgetSchema['birthday'] = new sfWidgetFormI18nDate(array(
   'culture'   => sfContext::getInstance()->getUser()->getCulture(),
));
