Symfony Admin Generator Select Value

[mdlugi]

Hi @ all,

got a little problem with the generated forms from admin generator.
I got a select field called contenttype_id which is related to a table called contenttype_fields.
The table contenttype_fields has following fields

id
contenttype
name
subname

so... my problem is that the admin generator automatically chooses the name field as value for the select.
But i want it to choose the contenttype field as value.

is there any option in generator.yml to set value from name-field to another field? Or has anybody other suggestions?
greets
maZe

Symfony automaticaly looks for name fields, if you want to use other field, you have a couple of options: you can define the method __toString() for the class using the fields you want, or you can define a query or table_method in the form class. In your case, defining the __toSting() method is the easiest way.

In case you don't know, you must add the method in the lib/model/doctrine folder (or lib/model/propel) in the MyClassName.class.php.
