Here is my idea for forcing form renderer to wrap fields using $decoratorFormat:
Extend default form class:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

class BaseForm extends sfFormSymfony {
public function render($attributes = array()) {
return strtr(
$this->getWidgetSchema()->getFormFormatter()->getDecoratorFormat(),
array('%content%' => parent::render($attributes))
);
}
}

and use

1	render() ?>

to render form. This works with custom and default formatters.

I guess that the class should be called

1	sfWidgetFormSchemaFormatterDeflist

(ends on ‘

list

‘ instead of ‘

List

‘), because it may cause problems with case-sensitivity of file names on linux. In other case the formatter should be called like this:

1	$form->renderUsing('defList');

Sorry for the slow reply. I think you might need:

1	echo $form->render() ?>

but I’m not completely sure off the top of my head.

@Oncle Tom – Sorry I didn’t reply before. Just got around to trying out your addition – will update the post shortly. Thank you so much for sharing that :)

@Henrik The way I styled the Definition list was to look a little how it does in the magneto backend if you have ever seen it? I will add a screenshot and some css later to explain better how it works.
