[Bridge/Twig] Add required class to labels that match required fields
I have used this to simply style labels that are required with a red star behind them using this CSS:
``` css
label.required::after {
content: " *";
color: #c00;
}
```
The problem is that you can't use `input[required] + label::after` as a selector since the label is typically rendered before the input. There is no way to check for an element that is *followed by* another, only elements *following*.
Of course this CSS in particular won't work except in the latest browsers, but you could still use the `label.required` selector to add a background image and so on. I think this is a very common use case and therefore I think it'd benefit the core framework.

Can you also update the PHP templates?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

How about namespacing these css classes, like for example "sf-form-required"?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would prefer an @schmittjoh naming, or even adding ability to setup it thought options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/07/05 01:54:36 -0700
Please, do not add more options. Prefix with `sf` is actually a good idea but people will argue that this is not a good idea because it gives too much information about the technology used to create the website (that's one of the things that came up pretty often in symfony1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by schmittjoh at 2011/07/05 02:00:11 -0700
An option is not such a good idea imo since you likely want to have a uniform naming strategy across your entire site. How about adding a new service CssNamingStrategy?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stloyd at 2011/07/05 02:01:19 -0700
Then this can be some simpler one not giving such informations i.e.: `form-label-required`, `label-required`, `framework-form-required`, `form-required` or whatever else ;-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It cannot be configurable as it would potentially break bundles that come with stylesheets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stloyd at 2011/07/05 02:21:10 -0700
IMO if we decide to add this one, we could add same to `inputs/selects/etc` with `required` option.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by schmittjoh at 2011/07/05 02:21:59 -0700
I think it can, consider an interface like this:
```php
interface CssNamingStrategyInterface
{
function getCssName($class);
}
```
This will give people a lot of flexibility, and it also does allow them to exclude classes which for example are provided by third-party bundles.

Wow guys, if this turns into a full blown class generator solution, I'm happy to close the PR.
"required" is not a name that's commonly used for main page elements, it's typically associated with forms, and therefore I don't see the need to make it unnecessary longer/namespaced. Similarly I don't see the need to add it to the input/select/.., because they already have an attribute, which you can very easily select as: `input[required]` in CSS. That works everywhere except IE6, but we can't build for the future on very old browsers. If you really want support for IE6, you can override the templates imo. But core should be looking forward, as it already is with HTML5, form markup, etc.
As for calling it form-label-required or label-required, again, I don't see the benefit, you can use `label.required` if you want to avoid conflicts with non-label elements having a required class, or a safer `form .required`. There are plenty of options in CSS itself, let's not make this overly complex.

Really? Come on, we're talking about forms, it's not like you have billions of form/input tags per page that have to be parsed by the browser when you select that. Also you don't have to select the elements, if you want true performance just use no stylesheet, your users will thank you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by schmittjoh at 2011/07/05 03:30:40 -0700
Your CSS selectors not only affect the performance of form elements, but of all elements that have a "required" class. Likewise, the same applies if we decide to add more classes.
Why close the door for people who care about performance? We can easily avoid this by making the css class more specific as suggested earlier. The idea with the renaming strategy is one step further and allows people to "obfuscate" which tool was used to generate the form, or do additional optimizations like shortening the css name.

@Seldaek: Just for remark I've seen matrix forms spanning multiple screenfuls horizontally and vertically
containing tens of thousands inputs. Not pretty, but they do exist. Basically "poor" man's/company's excel
emulation or something.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Seldaek at 2011/07/05 04:19:13 -0700
@schmittjoh, @lenar: We're catering to the most common use case, for which this will be more than fast enough. Small/medium scale websites don't have to optimize on CSS rules parsing, they usually have much bigger issues to deal with. If you really care about it, overriding the block to remove the class is just as easy as it was to for me to add it, but IMO this is the edge case.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by schmittjoh at 2011/07/05 05:37:19 -0700
IMO Symfony should follow best practices by encouraging to use class selectors, and not tag selectors for the reasons explained on the page I linked.
Anyway, I think everybody made his points. Time for @fabpot to make a decision :)

[Form] Added ability to set "empty_value" for choice list
Hey,
This PR is similar to #1336, but this one is fully test covered and have few change in behavior:
- if choice field is not set as non-required, `empty_value` is not added automaticly,
- also `empty_value` is not set if field have option `multiple` or `expanded`,
- `empty_value` for `DateType` and `TimeType` can be set "global" or per field, i.e.:
```
$builder->add('date', 'choice', array('required' => false, 'empty_value' => array('day' => 'Choose day')));
```
- `DateType` and `TimeType` code was cleaned a bit,
- added missing option to set up choice list as required when using PHP templates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stloyd at 2011/06/20 04:55:45 -0700
@fabpot I'm just not sure is that change with removing "auto-adding" of `empty_value` is good (probably BC)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now this is a really nice way to hijack work done by others. Really encourages newcomers. Gratz!

@lenar: if the code in this PR is yours (at least partly), I'm not going to merge it. @stloyd, can you clarify this issue with @lenar? Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lenar at 2011/06/20 06:21:11 -0700
It's @helmer's mostly, not mine, but the issue stays.

No matter who the code belongs to, Git allows us to keep track of all contributors. So, we need to do our best to not loose any code ownership.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by helmer at 2011/06/20 06:58:03 -0700
I do not care much for ownership, just that this kind of cooperation (or lack thereof) is kind of exhausting. Closed#1336.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stloyd at 2011/06/20 07:47:53 -0700
@fabpot, @lenar: This PR is inspired by #1336, made by @helmer, but after looking at his code and talking with him, we cant (IMO) get an consensus. So I wrote this PR as an another way to fix issue described in #1336.
__Summary__: I don't think this one is better than fix at #1336, it's more like another approach to fix that issue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by helmer at 2011/06/20 08:15:59 -0700
@stloyd: I actually think your variant is better, so good job there, thanks.
It just ain't nice to:
1) Comment on my changes being useless due to lack of tests
2) Writing brand new testsuite from your perspective that "proves" my approach is "wrong" (while ignoring my answers, why I did something precisely like I did, which I did in sync with @fabpot comments on his first attempt to improve the issue)
3) Saying my PR is broken because your new tests against it fail
4) Changing functionality to "fix" something that was not really broken
Other than that, I wanted to contribute a few lines to improve something relatively simple, and it ended up in a huge mess with more lost hours than I planned to spend on it.
On the bright side, we ended up with something good (:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stloyd at 2011/06/20 08:32:30 -0700
@helmer: 1) & 2) Sorry for that "bad language", but you get me wrong a bit. Tests was written for code in master (there was no problem to change them to work with your POV). 3) Same as before, you can adopt tests easily, but never mind. Maybe later we could cooperate better ;-)
About 4) I mentioned it in description of this PR and that was point I was disagreeing with you (also about how "default" options are adopted in fields) :-)
Rules are as follows:
* If multiple is true, then the empty_value is ignored
* If not, and if the field is not required, the empty_value is set to the empty string by default and displayed
* If the field is required, and if the user explicitely set the empty_value, then it is displayed
* kriswallsmith/form/collection-proto:
added script[type="text/html"] collection prototype to form themes
[Form] removed collection prototype from form tree
The current implementation is not ready for inclusion in 2.0. It has several
known problems (security, not possible to disable it, not "cloud-compatible",
...) and it's not a must have feature anyway.
Some references:
* Security issue in FileType: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/1001
* Validation fails on file, still stored in TemporaryStorage: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/908
* Add a size argument & ability to configure TemporaryStorage: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/748
This feature should be reworked and discussed for inclusion in 2.1.
The form component should now guarantee to always pass an UploadedFile object to your model. There you can call getOriginalName() to retrieve the original name of the uploaded file. For security reasons, the real file name is a generated hash value.
The extension classes are now the only constructor argument of the FormFactory class. They replace the existing "type loader" classes.
new FormFactory(array(
new CoreExtension($validator, $storage),
new CsrfExtension($csrfProvider),
new DoctrineOrmExtension($em),
));
Together with a few upcoming commits this mechanism will make
* extension of the form framework in bundles and
* usage of the forms outside of Symfony2
much easier.
The data can now be passed to all creation methods:
$form = $factory->create('form', $data);
By default, a form will receive the name of its type ("form" in above example). If you wish to pass a custom name, use createNamed():
$form = $factory->createNamed('form', 'myform', $data);
