Consider this a twitter post more than blog material… but I am just playing around with Symfony 1.1 CRUD generation, and it seems there is an extra step from v1.0… After generating your model, but before trying to generate a CRUD, you need to run the command:

symfony propel:build-forms

If you don’t, then when you do a symfony propel-generate-crud, you will get the error:

Fatal error: Class 'CustomerForm' not found in /usr/share/php/symfony/generator/sfAdminGenerator.class.php on line 722

In the example above its Class ‘CustomerForm’ because Customer was the name of the class I chose to try and generate the form for.

I’m off to do some more reading on forms/CRUD in 1.1, I’m getting the feeling it’s going to be a LOT different to 1.0….eHabib, you better add another offline package for what I just linked to I think, it will be my weeks reading in the can… I mean office… (ok I did mean can)

If you are writing your schema.yml file, the Symfony book isn’t too detailed as to what you can and can’t put in your schema.yml. I’d recommend you head over to the Propel Guide, and read the appendix for detailed documentation.
