Using db arrays in set and include in symfony3 - symfony

I'm a beginner in symfony. I love use database-arrays to fill out the pages in symfony as
<p>{{ cars.texte | nl2br }}</p>
Is it possible to use the same proceed in "set" and in "include", as
{% set tag = 'url' %}
letting the db complete the url
and
{% include "twigtemplate" %}
letting the db complete the template? This, as I have understood, doesn't work:
{% set tag = {{ cars.color }} %}
Thanks for any help!

Yes it is possible simply remove the {{ and the }}. When you are inside of the {% %} signs you don't need the {{ and }}.
{% set tag = cars.color %}

Twig template with variable

My twig template has for loop, and I am trying to add a varable to it. How do I do this?
The ('var') needs to be the variable > content. + var + .related.buttons
{% include '#PleinCatalog/Theme/includes/themeCatergory.html.twig' with {'var':'something'} %}
{% for button in content.('var').related.buttons %}
{{ button.title }}
{% endfor %}
I have a similar for loop in my projects, where I include templates with some options.
Based on your example - it can be uses like that:
{% for button in content[var].related.buttons %}
…
{% endfor %}

Difference between {% include '' %} and {{ include('') }} in Twig

It's possible to include a file in two different ways:
{% include 'fic.html.twig' %}
{{ include('fic.html.twig') }}
What is the difference between the two methods?
Source:
http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/tags/include.html
http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/functions/include.html
Tags are less flexible than functions, for example:
If you want to store contents of a file in a variable if you want to repeat it twice:
{% set content = include('test.twig') %}
Instead of:
{% set content %}
{% include 'test.twig' %}
{% endset %}
If you want to add filters:
{{ include('alert.twig') | upper }}
Its tag equivalent:
{% set temp %}
{% include 'alert.twig' %}
{% endset %}
{{ temp | upper }}
You see, {{ include }} instead of {% include %} will not change the world, but remove some complexity when you need to do tricky stuffs using Twig.
Also, according to the documentation, it is recommended to use {{ include() }} to fit with best practices:
{{ }} is used to print the result of an expression evaluation;
{% %} is used to execute statements.
From Twig's changelog:
* 1.12.0-RC1 (2012-12-29)
* added an include function (does the same as the include tag but in a more flexible way)
I think it's the same functionality, but while {% include '' %} is a tag, the {{ include('') }} is a function. Maybe if you want to overwrite the function it can be easier than a tag.
From Symfony 2.8 (LTS) documentation
2.3 The include() function is available since Symfony 2.3. Prior, the {% include %} tag was used.

Symfony Twig customize an Individual field for a collection

In the documentation there is a way in Symfony to customize a Individual field, based on the name/id of the widget.
{% form_theme form _self %}
{% block _product_name_widget %}
<div class="text_widget">
{{ block('field_widget') }}
</div>
{% endblock %}
{{ form_widget(form.name) }}
Here, the _product_name_widget fragment defines the template to use for the field whose id is product_name (and name is product[name]).
This works for a normal widget, but not if a widget is inside a collection. Because of the extra columns. Like this:
name="productbundle_product_type[foobar][1][value]" id="productbundle_product_type_foobar_1_value"
What is the way to make the Twig customization work inside the collection?
I thought something like this, but that doesn't work:
{% for db in edit_form.list %}
{% block _productbundle_product_type_foobar_{{ db.name }}_widget %}
<div class="text_widget">
{{ block('field_widget') }}
</div>
{% endblock %}
{% endfor %}
Even the following doesn't work:
{% _productbundle_product_type_foobar_1_value_widget %}
What is the way to make it work?
I was working on a project a couple of evenings ago and encountered precisely this problem - the solution I found is a pair of blocks that look like this (stripped of project-specific code):
{# Collection markup #}
{% block my_collection_widget %}
{# Customise collection row prototype for allow_add #}
{% if prototype is defined %}
{% set data_prototype = block('my_collection_item_widget') %}
<div id="my_prototype" data-prototype="{{ data_prototype }}" style="display: none"></div>
{% endif %}
{% for prototype in form %}
{{ block('my_collection_item_widget') }}
{% endfor %}
{% endblock my_collection_widget %}
{# Collection row markup #}
{% block my_collection_item_widget %}
{# Collection contains simple, single type #}
{{ form_errors(prototype) }}
{{ form_label(prototype) }}
{{ form_widget(prototype) }}
{# OR #}
{# Collection contains a compound type, render child types independantly #}
{{ form_errors(prototype.inner_widget) }}
{{ form_label(prototype.inner_widget) }}
{{ form_widget(prototype.inner_widget) }}
{% endblock my_collection_item_widget %}
I know this is old question, but maybe people still happening upon this. This is explained fragment naming for collections.
You use _entry_ in these cases in place of the collection element number. Use the instructions in the link for fragment naming, but this might vary. Sometimes 'type' is part of the fragment's name, sometimes first letter is upper case, sometimes lower case, etc. I would use a browser developer tool to find the actual name to make sure. You might also be able to customize the names used by adding the getBlockPrefix function to the form class.
Therefore, in your case above, the customized block might look something like:
{% block _ProductBundle_product_entry_widget %}
<div> {{ form_row(form.field)}} </div>
{% endblock %}
Where 'field' would be the name of a field in the element of your collection.
A few things here:
1. Documentation Error
The docs seem to be a bit off with CamelCase entities. As for 5.3 it should be: _taskManager_taskLists_entry_widget (instead of _task_manager_task_lists_entry_widget)
You can confirm the naming by dumping the form or form field: {{ dump(form) }} or {{ dump(form.yourField) }} in your template and then look for unique_block_prefix within the vars section.
2. Do NOT use the block overrides, macros are much more easy
It makes things absolutely more complicated than necessary. Simply define a macro:
{% import _self as formMacros %}
{% macro formatCollection(form) %}
<div class="form-group row">
<div>
{{ form_widget(form.field1) }}
{{ form_widget(form.field2) }}
{{ form_widget(form.field3) }}
</div>
</div>
{% endmacro %}
then simply run it on each collection:
{% for item in form.collectionItems %}
{{ formMacros.formatCollection(item) }}
{% endfor %}
3. Prototype
Get the prototype before rendering the collection field. You can store it in a variable.
{% set prototype = form.collection.vars.prototype %}
Then simply render it whenever you like using our macro:
<div data-js="collection" data-prototype="{{ formMacros.formatCollection(prototype)|e('html_attr') }}">

How are labels on ArrayCollections in forms rendered?

I have a Customer object, which has many Emails.
I'm building a form for my customer, and I've added his emails as a collection. In my template, I render the emails portion like this:
<h4>Emails</h4>
{% for email in form.emails %}
<li>
{{ form_row(email.addr) }}
{{ form_row(email.isPrimary) }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
...
{{ form_rest(form) }}
This works fine, except if the customer has no emails. Then, form_rest() renders the label 'emails' at the bottom of my template.
Why does this only get rendered when form.emails is empty? How can I customize it? (Note I've already customized my label rendering for other form elements, and I don't want it to be the same for these 'collection labels'.)
I usually solved this problem this way:
{% for email in form.emails %}
{# ... #}
{% else %}
{{ form_widget(form.emails) }}
{% endfor %}
Unless someone suggests a better way of doing this.

Overwriting a field of AdmingeneratorGeneratorBundle

I am trying to overwrite a field of the AdmingeneratorGeneratorBundle and want to append a link to a certain field. That works quite well following the documentation:
{% extends_admingenerated "MyMainBundle:PageEdit:index.html.twig" %}
{% block form_status %}
{{ parent() }}
Preview
{% endblock %}
What I would need to do now, is to get the real id of my page instead of the static 8, but i could not figure out, what the object is called inside the twig template. Any ideas?
Update:
In my case, as I only need the ID of my page, I can use app.request.attributes.get('pk') to get it in twig. Would be interesting how to get other values tough.
Just use
{% extends_admingenerated "MyMainBundle:PageEdit:index.html.twig" %}
{% block form_status %}
{{ parent() }}
Preview
{% endblock %}

The Documentation has been updated.
Thats ho it works:
{% extends_admingenerated "NamespaceYourBundle:List:index.html.twig" %}
{% block list_td_column_title %}
<span style="font-weight:bold">{{ Movie.title }}</span>
{% endblock %}
