symfony 1.4 forms: Using <p> rather than <li> - symfony-1.4

Question

When calling a form using
print $widget->render()
rather than printing
<li>
<label ...>
<input ...>
</li>
How can I have it print
<p>
<label ...>
<input ...>
</p>
PS: in my form:
public function configure()
{
$this->widgetSchema->setFormFormatterName('list');
}

You will have to create your own form schema formatter class as explained here. For example, to use a paragraph you can just redeclare the $rowFormat variable:
#lib/widget/sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterParagraph.class.php
class sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterParagraph extends sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatter
{
protected $rowFormat = "<p>
%label% \n %error% <br/> %field%
%help% %hidden_fields%\n</p>\n";
}
If you want to use this format for all forms of your project add it to your ProjectConfiguration class (and remove the $this->widgetSchema->setFormFormatterName('list') from your form):
class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
{
public function setup()
{
// ...
sfWidgetFormSchema::setDefaultFormFormatterName('paragraph');
}
}
If you want to use it only for one form, add this your form class:
public function setup()
{
$this->widgetSchema->addFormFormatter('paragraph', new sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterParagraph($this->widgetSchema));
$this->widgetSchema->setFormFormatterName('paragraph');
parent::setup();
}

Just look at sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterListand sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatter.class.php. You can make your own schema from that, let's say sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterParagraph, and change the properties of the class to match your needs. (you probably need to change only $decoratorFormat and $rowFormat. Something like:
$rowFormat = "<p> %error%%label%\n %field%%help%\n%hidden_fields%</p>"
$decoratorFormat = "%content%"
