how to customize the display of a sfWidgetFormInputText? - symfony1

Question

i have this in RcProfileTableForm.class.php
abstract class BaseRcProfileTableForm extends BaseFormPropel
{
public function setup()
{
$this->setWidgets(array(
'id' => new sfWidgetFormInputHidden(),
'created_at' => new sfWidgetFormDateTime(),
'name' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'password' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'unique_code' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'msisdn' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'profile_pic' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'email' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'age' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
)
}
and the form gets called like this:
<?php
include_partial('form', array('form' => $form));
echo $form->renderGlobalErrors(); ?>
so on the actual page it displays the label and the inputbox
what i need to do now is add a "*" to the end of the inputboxes of msisdn and email
the * will denote to a message appropriate to these fields
how can i achieve this? there is nowhere html that i can add a to this because the whole form gets called from the widgets
any advice please?
thanks

Answer 1

In your form (RcProfileTableForm) you can add custom label
class RcProfileTableForm extends BaseRcProfileTableForm
{
public function configure()
{
$this->widgetSchema->setLabels(array(
'email' => 'email*',
}
// If you want to customize widget you can make:
$this->widgetSchema['email'] = new sfWidgetFormInputText(array(), array("style"=>'width: 290px;'));
));
// UPADATE
Read this
So you must customize your form partial in apps/frontend/yourmodules/template/_form.php
In _form.php I think you have now something like this:
You can make :
<?php echo $form['email']->renderError(); ?>
<?php echo $form['email']->render() ?> <?php echo __("Email*"); ?>
//or
<?php echo $form['email']->render() ?> $form['email']->renderLabel() ?>
