Is there a simple way to declare CSS classes for Symfony form labels?
This doesn't work:
<?php echo $form['email']->renderLabel('class' => 'my-css') ?>
Found this and it works but it feels counter-intuitive, as it makes the form labels themselves obsolete by requiring the label to be written out in the template:
<?php echo $form['email']->renderLabel('This is a label text', array('class' => 'my-css') ?>
Anyone know a better way?
Thanks
Passing in null to the first parameter won't override the label text:
<?php echo $form['email']->renderLabel(null, array('class' => 'my-css')) ?>

$label The label name (not null to override the current value)
You can change the formatter for every form by creating a custom class that extends sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatter
class sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterCustom extends sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatter
{
protected
$rowFormat = "<tr>\n <th class=\"my-label-class\">%label%</th>\n <td>%error%%field%%help%%hidden_fields%</td>\n</tr>\n",
$errorRowFormat = "<tr><td class=\"my-error-class\" colspan=\"2\">\n%errors%</td></tr>\n",
$helpFormat = '<br />%help%',
$decoratorFormat = "<table>\n %content%</table>";
}
You can then change the formatter in the form class:
$this->getWidgetSchema()->setFormFormatterName('custom');
or you can set the new formatter for every form in the config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php file:
sfWidgetFormSchema::setDefaultFormFormatterName('custom');
