symfony & mark fields as required

By default required fields in symfony form framework are not marked with '*'

How could we do this ?
- you could manually create form with fields (a lot of code, a lot of efforts)
- create own form formatter and using it with form class. It will automatically mark fields as we need ! (that's nice news :)

so - let's go !
1. Create own formatter (sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatter%)

class sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterStore extends sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatter
{
 protected
 $rowFormat       = "\n  %label%\n  %error%%field%%help%%hidden_fields%\n\n",
 $errorRowFormat  = "\n%errors%\n",
 $helpFormat = '
%help%',
 $decoratorFormat = "\n  %content%",
 $requiredTemplate= ' *',
 $validatorSchema = null;

 /**
  * Generates the label name for the given field name.
  *
  * @param  string $name  The field name
  * @return string The label name
  */
 public function generateLabelName($name)
 {
  $label = parent::generateLabelName($name);

  $fields = $this->validatorSchema->getFields();
  if($fields[$name] != null) {
   $field = $fields[$name];
   if($field->hasOption('required') && $field->getOption('required')) {
    $label .= $this->requiredTemplate;
   }
  }
  return $label;
 }

 public function setValidatorSchema(sfValidatorSchema $validatorSchema)
 {
  $this->validatorSchema = $validatorSchema;
 }
}

we have some useful changes:
- add css classes
- add $requiredTemplate with required field template
- add injection of validatorSchema

2. Owerride __toString method (form class) - for using own formatter

class StoreRegistrationForm extends BaseStoreDetailsForm
{
 public function configure()
 {
           // ...
 }

 public function render($attributes = array())
 {
  $formatterObj = $this->widgetSchema->getFormFormatter();
  if(!is_null($formatterObj)) {   $formatterObj->setValidatorSchema($this->getValidatorSchema());   $this->widgetSchema->getFormFormatter()->setTranslationCatalogue("register_store_form");
  }
  return parent::render($attributes);
 }

 public function __toString()
 {
  try
  {
   return $this->renderUsing('Store');
  }
  catch (Exception $e)
  {
   self::setToStringException($e);
   // we return a simple Exception message in case the form framework is used out of symfony.
   return 'Exception: '.$e->getMessage();
  }
 }
}

3. as you see - TranslationCatalogue has been injected not in configure method.
If you use other than messages.xml - you should call setTranslationCatalogue in render block

 public function render($attributes = array())
 {
  $formatterObj = $this->widgetSchema->getFormFormatter();

  if(!is_null($formatterObj)) {
   $formatterObj->setValidatorSchema($this->getValidatorSchema());
   $this->widgetSchema->getFormFormatter()->setTranslationCatalogue("register_store_form");
  }

  return parent::render($attributes);
 }

that's all )
