I have two models namely 'Client' and 'Pet' which have admin generated modules for each. There is a one-to-many relationship involved so I want to be able to create a new Pet using a cid (client id) specified in the URL (i.e. /pet/new/cid/6)

I already disabled the cid field in the Client form so that the parameter from the URL will be passed as the default value.

I tried overriding the actions.class.php of the admin generated module with this code:

public function executeCreate(sfWebRequest $request)
{
    $this->form = $this->configuration->getForm();
    $params = $request->getParameter($this->form->getName());
    $params["cid"] = $request->getParameter('cid');
    $request->setParameter($this->form->getName(), $params);

    parent::executeCreate($request);
}

It works if i replaced

$request->getParameter('cid');

with a hard-coded int value so I think the problem is that I'm not able to get the parameter from the URL.

I think I might be missing on some routing configurations but I'm fairly new to this framework so I'm not really sure what to do.

You can simply pass the parameter cid in the url like this :
/pet/new?cid=6

and get the result in your action with :
$request->getParameter('cid');

The first part of the routing (/pet/new) is a specific doctrineRouteCollection

  • I tried accessing that URL and it's giving me this error: 404 | Not Found | sfError404Exception Action "pet/show" does not exist. – beenalee May 04 '11 at 04:57
  • Don't use show action, it's not implemented in the admingen. Try again with an url like this /pet/new?cid=6 – dxb May 04 '11 at 08:03
