[Form] Make the prototype view child of the collection view
This PR should be a base for discussion.
The [current implementation](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/1188) has some drawbacks because the prototype view is not a child of the collection view:
* The 'multipart' attribute is not propagated from the prototype to the collection,
* The prototype view do not use the theme from the collection.
Those 2 points are fixed by the proposed implementation and one more benefit is that the template markup might be easier to work with:
before:
```html
<div id="form_emails">
<div>
<label for="form_emails_0">0</label>
<input type="email" id="form_emails_0" name="form[emails][0]" value="a@b.com">
</div>
<script type="text/html" id="form_emails_prototype">
<div>
<label for="$$name$$">$$name$$</label>
<input type="email" id="$$name$$" name="$$name$$" value="" />
</div>
</script>
</div>
```
after:
```html
<div id="form_emails">
<div>
<label for="form_emails_0">0</label>
<input type="email" id="form_emails_0" name="form[emails][0]" value="a@b.com">
</div>
<script type="text/html" id="form_emails_prototype">
<div>
<label for="form_emails_$$name$$">$$name$$</label>
<input type="email" id="form_emails_$$name$$" name="form[emails][$$name$$]" value="" />
</div>
</script>
</div>
```
@kriswallsmith I'd like to get your feedback on this PR. thanks.

@fabpot any ETA about merging it ? Using the prototype currently is a pain to build the name. The change makes it far easier
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The templates are much better but I'm a bit concerned that we need to add the logic into the Form class directly. That looks quite ugly. If there is no other way, I will merge it.

I have found no better way... I am testing some minor tweaks I want to submit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not happy with the code in Form.php either... would creating a PrototypeType accomplish the same thing?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 07:42:07 -0700
@kriswallsmith tried and dismissed, the id and name are bad & you have to go for `render_widget(form.get('proto'))` in the template. That should be fixeable but not any better.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 07:45:21 -0700
What do you mean the id and name are bad? If we have a distinct type for the prototype, can't we do whatever we want using buildView() and the template?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 07:53:31 -0700
@kriswallsmith the id would be smthg like `form_emails_$$name$$_prototype` but yes we should be able to do whatever we want but the code might end up being more complex.
I am done with the tweaks but still open to feedback on this PR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 08:08:21 -0700
Yes, that is the type of name I would expect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 08:08:33 -0700
Oops -- I mean id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 08:09:42 -0700
Maybe I'm confused what id you're referring to. I'll try to spend some time on this today.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 08:23:56 -0700
That should be the id of the `<input>`, the id of the script would be `form_emails_$$name$$_prototype_prototype` (if prototype is the name of the nested node).
I am trying to setup a branch with my code (playing with git & netbeans local history)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@kriswallsmith https://github.com/vicb/symfony/tree/kris/proto if that can help (there are still changes in Form.php)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 08:47:08 -0700
Thanks, I'll take a look.

I would have expected it to be faster however `array_map` is about twice slower... reverted !
* 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.
* CodeMeme/1058-fix-radio-input-listener:
Fix for RadioInputListener's empty value erroneously becoming extra data Refs #1058
Added test for RadioInputListener bug treating no data as extra data
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.
With implementations of this interface, existing types can be amended.
The Csrf extension, for example, now contains a class FormTypeCsrfExtension
that adds CSRF capabilities to the "form" type.
To register new type extensions in the DIC, tag them with "form.type_extension"
and the name of the extended type as alias.
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.
