How to limit the list values of a form datetime minutes field in Symfony2?

Question

I would like to know how to limit the list values of a form datetime minutes field in Symfony2 . The explanation is as below:

When I click on the combo box of the minutes field of a datetime field in a form, a list values will be displayed as you can see in the screen shot below:

enter image description here

As you can notice above, the minutes field list values are from 00 to 59 (as I put the datetime format as: 'dd/MM/yyyy H:i' ). By the way, this is the form class code:

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder

        ->add('title','text')
        ->add('start','datetime',array(
         'input' => 'datetime',

         'format' => 'dd/MM/yyyy H:i',))
        ->add('end','datetime',array(
         'input' => 'datetime',

         'format' => 'dd/MM/yyyy H:i',))

        ->add('location','text')
        ->add('description','text')

    ;
}

And this is the html code of the form:

    <html>
    <head>
        <title> Wkayet </title>
         <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{asset('bundles/ikprojhome/images/icon-WKAYET.png')}}">
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{asset('bundles/ikprojhome/css2/css.css')}}"/>
        <script src='{{asset('bundles/ikprojhome/lib/jquery.min.js')}}'></script> 

    </head>
    <body>
    <center>
        <div id="container">
            <div id="header">

            </div>
            <div id="content">
                <table width="100%" height="100%" align="center">
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            {% for x in groupe%}
   <form id="EventForm" action='{{path('ikproj_groupe_homepaeventsAdd',{id:x['id']})}}' method="POST" {{ form_enctype(form) }} onsubmit="javascript:parent.jQuery.fancybox.close();">
   <!--<form id="EventForm" action='{{path('ikproj_groupe_homepaeventsAdd',{id:x['id']})}}' method="POST" {{ form_enctype(form) }} >-->
                                {% endfor %}
                                 {{ form_errors(form) }}
                                <table align="center">
                                    <tr>
                                        <td class="separation"><label for="groupname">Titre</label></td>
                                        <td>
                                     <!--<input id="titre" name="titre" required="required" type="text" size="50"/> -->
                                         <div>
                                            {{ form_errors(form.title) }}

                                            {{ form_widget(form.title) }}
                                           </div>
                                        </td>
                                    </tr>
                                    <tr>

                                             {{ form_errors(form.start ) }}

                                             {{ form_widget(form.start ) }}
                                            </div>


                                        </td>
                                    </tr>
                                    <tr>
                                        <td class="separation"><label for="fin">Fin</label></td>
                                        <td><!--<select id="fin" name="fin" class="select"></select>-->
                                            <div>
                                             {{ form_errors(form.end ) }}

                                             {{ form_widget(form.end ) }}
                                          </div> 

                                        </td>
                                    </tr>

                                    <tr>

                                           {{ form_errors(form.location) }}

                                           {{ form_widget(form.location) }}
                                          </div>

                                        </td>
                                    </tr>
                                    <tr>
                                        <td id="description" valign="top" class="separation"><label for="description">Description</label></td>
                                        <td><textarea id="ikproj_groupebundle_eventsgroupe_description" name="ikproj_groupebundle_eventsgroupe[description]" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea> 



                                        </td>
                                    </tr>
                                    <tr>
                                        <td colspan="2" align="center" id="button" valign="bottom"><input class="button" type="submit" value=""/></td>
                                    </tr>
                                </table>
                                         {{form_widget(form._token)}} 
                            </form>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table> 
            </div>
        </div>
    </center>
</body>
</html>

So, my question is: how can I make the minutes field contains some specific values? (for example, it just contains these two values: 00 and 30 )..Is that possible to do that??

Note that Symfony's TimeType is basically an enhanced choice field, and DateTimeType which you're using reuses the TimeType. Thus, you should be able to pass in a 'minutes' parameter like this:

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder
        ->add('title', 'text')
        ->add('start', 'datetime', array(
         'input' => 'datetime',
         'format' => 'dd/MM/yyyy H:i',
         'minutes' => array(
            0,
            30
         )
        ))
        ->add('end', 'datetime', array(
         'input'  => 'datetime',
         'format' => 'dd/MM/yyyy H:i',
         'minutes' => array(
            0,
            30
         )
        ))
        ->add('location', 'text')
        ->add('description', 'text')
    ;
}
