We're building a web site with Symfony 2. We generate a unique URL and send it by email to user who forgot their password, so they can reset their password.
We're building a simple form to reset a password. We have two labels ('Enter your new password' and 'Enter your new password again') with a textbox beside each.
We wanted the textbox to align with each other.
Lazy solution was to figure out two strings of the same length (!)
But I would have wanted to format them with CSS or put them in a table ...
Is that possible at all with Symfony's form ? I read documentation about customizing templates, but when we tried the solution proposed by Symfony's docs the widgets (textboxes) were not rendering ...
Here are some pics of the issue :
Crooked textboxes
Lazy solution
Here is the code of the twig where I think(!) the formatting should be done
{% block blockPrincipal_mp %}
<h1>{{ titre }}</h1>
{{ form_start(form) }}
<div class="containerForm">
<div class="error">
{{ form_errors(form) }}
</div>
{{ form_rest(form) }}
{{ form_end(form) }}
{% for flashMessage in app.session.flashbag.get('success') %}
<div class="confirm"><p> {{ flashMessage }}</p></div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
You can render all the different elements of the forms individually as opposed to just rendering it all at one time with form_rest(form) as you have in your example. form_rest() is going to render whatever hasn't been rendered yet. And up to this point, All that's been rendered are the errors.
I don't know what your form property's names are but here's an example:
{{ form_start(form) }}
<div class="form_errors">{{ form_errors(form) }}</div>
{# output all pieces of the username element individually #}
<div class="form_label">{{ form_label(form.username) }}</div>
<div class="form_input">{{ form_widget(form.username) }}</div>
<div class="form_errors">{{ form_errors(form.username) }}</div>
{# output all pieces of the password element individually #}
<div class="form_label">{{ form_label(form.password) }}</div>
<div class="form_input">{{ form_widget(form.password) }}</div>
<div class="form_errors">{{ form_errors(form.password) }}</div>
{{ form_rest(form) }}
{{ form_end(form) }}
This way you can control what HTML wrappers surround each piece of your form elements.
Note that you can also output the username and password fields by doing...
{{ form_row(form.username) }} {{ form_row(form.password) }}
...and it will still output the label, widget and errors but will use the default layout for those form types that is defined in your twig templates. So you have more control of rendering the parts if you do them individually.
This is great for custom forms and custom templates, however you can also override the default form element's layout if you want more control over how individual form elements are rendered throughout your site, by extending the form fields template.
https://symfony.com/doc/current/form/form_customization.html
The RepeatedType field can be dispayed separately:
{{ form_row(form.password.first) }}
{{ form_row(form.password.second) }}
or more controlled:
{{ form_label(form.password.first) }}
{{ form_widget(form.password.first) }}
{{ form_label(form.password.second) }}
{{ form_widget(form.password.second) }}

I have a form with block of the different input field.
When I use, standard twig function I get one block:
{{ form(form) }}
If I want to change something inside form I use, for example:
{{ form_start(form) }}
{{ form_widget(form.firstName) }}
{{ form_widget(form.lastName) }}
{{ form_end(form) }}
And everything is fine with this, but here I use JS for adding multiple block of the same field in the form (like can be possible to add multiple person in one form). When I want to edit data, I catch all data from the DB, of course, and want to show blocks in the twig.
{{ form_start(form) }}
{# somehow start loop data from the DB here #}
<div class='block'>
{{ form_widget(form.firstName) }}
{{ form_widget(form.lastName) }}
</div>
{# somehow end loop data from the DB here #}
{{ form_end(form) }}
Is it possible in the Twig, or I should use old school here?

How to alter the fields.html.twig template?
I am only looking for the "hello world" equivalent to see the first ever change to the form.
What's working (within a bundle view as add.Article.html.twig):
<div class="well;">
<form method="post" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>
{{ form_widget(form,{attr: {class:'test'}} ) }}
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" />
</form>
</div>
The test class is only doing a CSS .test{background-color:grey;}. I am normally using Bootstrap.
In fields.html.twig I have:
{% block aliquam_input %}
{% spaceless %}
<div>
{{ form_label(form) }}
{{ form_errors(form) }}
{{ form_widget(form, { 'attr': {'class': 'test'} }) }}
</div>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock %}
and in app/config/config.yml:
# Twig Configuration
twig:
//..
form:
resources:
- 'AliquamSummaryBundle:Form:fields.html.twig'
The fields.html.twig is rendered ok to the main twig as I get an error when removing one of the hash in the fields twig.
What's not working (i.e. class test doesn't show) is when I try to make the fields.html.twig take effect on Article.html.twig:
{% block aliquam_input %}
{% spaceless %}
<div class="well;">
<form method="post" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>
{{ form_widget(form) }}
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" />
</form>
</div>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock %}
As all forms will have the same format, I'd prefer to not set all html attributes to every single line. But what is the way to get the class "test" taking effect from the fields.html.twig template?
___________________________ Update for David _____________
Thanks #David, but unfortunately adding the name as form.name doesn’t change anything. The CSS attribute is still not transferred to the form in html. Well spot for the semicolon after well; it was a late night typo, but not related to the problem.
Here is what I have figured so far. I might have to end up having to enter bootstrap CSS to each individual row in a form (horrible thought) or figure how to do this by entities options, which comes almost to the same horrible thought as doing it for every row. Since the doc offers to enter a template for all forms via app/config/config.yml there should be a far simpler way, but I don’t get it.
The below is the only direction so far which made CSS work a little, i.e. class .test{background-color: black;} is doing its job:
{# ..\addArticle.html.twig #}
<div class="well">
<form method="post" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>
{{ form_widget(form) }}
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" />
</form>
</div>
NB: there is no {% block .. %} around the div, which makes sense as I put the fields.html.twig to be included to the symphony standard widgets through app/config/config.yml. The above goes with the fields.html.twig below.
{# ..\fields.html.twig #}
{% block widget_attributes %}
{% spaceless %}
{{" class=\'test\'" }}
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock widget_attributes %}
So far only fields with textarea show black color, bit it’s kind of “hello world”. I am not sure if this is right way to proceed as I have not found anything alike in this and other forums and the doc only states to look at form_div_layout.html.twig on git to decide which attribute to change, which is not really helpful (to me).
First change your well; class to well in your add.Article.html.twig.
In order to put a class on your widget I think you can try
{{ form_widget(form.name, {'attr': {'class': 'test'}}) }}
The difference with your code is the form.name parameter. If you only give the form it will not apply passed options. See the doc
Changing the fields.html.twig as
{# ..\fields.html.twig #}
{% block widget_attributes %}
{% spaceless %}
{{" class=\'test\'" }}
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock widget_attributes %}
is indeed correct in what concerns Symfony and the reason that with bootstrap-CSS only the textareas show the class="test" is that bootstrap assigns mandatorily (all other than textareas) with the bootstrap specific one.
As I don't want to alter the bootstrap as such I ended up assigning the attributes per widget from within the entities - anything else would probably opening a can of worms.
I'm using symfony 2.4 and I need to set my own theme for just the submit button within a form. I was already able to customize the way input fields are rendered, the following code is working.
{% block form_row %}
{% spaceless %}
<div class="form-group">
{{ form_errors(form) }}
{{ form_label(form) }}
{{ form_widget(form, { 'attr': {'class': 'form-control'} }) }}
{% if help is defined %}
<span class="help">{{ help }}</span>
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock form_row %}
Question: Which block do I need to override to accomplish my goal?
As explained in the How to customize Form Rendering section of the documentation. The submit button related blocks that you should override in order to customise your form's button are {% block submit_widget %} and {% block button_widget %} depending on the level of customisation you want to introduce.
Check the form_div_layout.html.twig code to fully understand the default implementation of those helpers.
Good to know,
Buttons support in Forms added to Symfony 2.3.
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.
I have a custom form field type and an associated form theme for it. On one page I have a lot of these fields, but one of the fields in particular I want to change.
Is there any way to theme certain fields of the same type (and in the same file) differently?
A simplified example:
form_fields.html.twig: (local theming file)
{% block my_dropdown_row %}
<div>
{{ form_label(form) }}
{{ form_widget(form) }}
{{ form_errors(form) }}
</div>
{% endblock %}
In my form template (all these fields have the same type - my_dropdown
{{ form_row(form.selectionA) }}
{{ form_row(form.selectionB) }}
{{ form_row(form.selectionC) }}
{{ form_row(form.final_selection) }}
How can I style the final field differently to the others? There is a lot of code in these widgets so less duplication the better.
This can be done. Here is how:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/form/form_customization.html
Old question and already answered, but would be nice to have more detailed info.
{% form_theme form _self %}
{% block _product_name_widget %}
<div class="text_widget">
{{ block('form_widget_simple') }}
</div>
{% endblock %}
{{ form_widget(form.name) }}
Where block name _product_name_widget stands for
_ form type(block prefix)_ form item name_render function
