@fabpot Any decision about this one ? I'm asking because I also have similar fix for #1323 but it requires this one ;-)

[Form] Some refactoring of the rendering
# First two commits
## FormExtension::render() can now be called recursively.
The main use case is theming support in for collections. Let's consider that you have a collection of `CustomType`, the type hierarchy while rendering the proto would be `field < form < custom < prototype`. Before this change any theme applied to your custom type (i.e. a `custom_row` block) would not have been taken into account while rendering the prototype because of the structure of the `prototype_row` block:
```html
{% block prototype_row %}
{% spaceless %}
<script type="text/html" id="{{ proto_id }}">{{ block('field_row') }}</script>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock prototype_row %}
```
which skip the `custom_row` block rendering to fallback to the `field_row` block rendering.
With this PR `prototype_row` recursively calls `FormExtension::render()`
```html
{% block prototype_row %}
{% spaceless %}
<script type="text/html" id="{{ proto_id }}">{{ form_row(form) }}</script>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock prototype_row %}
```
this has for effect to render the block for the parent type (i.e. `custom_row`)
## FormHelper
The `FormHelper` has been updated to more closely match the `FormExtension` architecture and the templates have been modified accordingly. `echo $view['form']->renderBlock(<block name>)` is the php equivalent of `{{ block(<block name>) }}`.
The attributes are now rendered using a template rather than by the `FormHelper::attributes()` method.
Several templates have been fixed.
# Third commit
The `$varStack` property was used to forward options to the label and the widget when rendering a row. The implementation was not working as expected. The proposed way to override label and widget options is to pass these options in the `label` and `widget` keys while callinf `render_row`.
That would be:
`{{ form_row(form.field, {"attr": {<row attributes>}, "label" : {"label": <text>, "attr": {<label attr>}}, "widget" : { "attr" : {<widget attributes}} } }}`
So there is now the ability to set attributes for the row (`<div>` or `<tr>`).
This has been discussed on [the mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/symfony-devs/browse_thread/thread/17754128ba480545). **I would like to find a compromise with @Seldaek before this gets merged**
The `$varStack` property is now only used when recursively calling `FormExtension::render()`
# Notes
I have preferred to submit several commits in order to ease review and to keep some history.

@vicb On a side note, do you think it would be possible to support form theming in PHP templates too ? Currently, the only way to customize the rendering of forms when using PHP templates is to overwrite the FrameworkBundle's templates, and this impacts all forms. This makes the PHP rendering far less powerful than the Twig one.
I don't know the Form rendering and the PHPEngine well enough to know if it is feasible for 2.1 or not.

@stof I hope to make it possible but I need a little bit more thinking to find the best possible solution which should not look like a hack.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/21 01:13:10 -0700
This should not be merged yet, it might have some issue with the variable stack. I am working on it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorted out the issue, it was linked to some local _optimization_, the code of this PR is ok.

I have pushed a [POC of php theming based on this PR](https://github.com/vicb/symfony/commits/form%2Fphp-theme) to my repo - it is lacking a configuration and cache layer.
I have open [a thread on the ml](http://groups.google.com/group/symfony-devs/browse_thread/thread/9b3f131fe116b511) to discuss this.

[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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2011/06/14 07:09:46 -0700
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 07:14:32 -0700
I have found no better way... I am testing some minor tweaks I want to submit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by kriswallsmith at 2011/06/14 07:34:25 -0700
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)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2011/06/14 08:46:25 -0700
@kriswallsmith https://github.com/vicb/symfony/tree/kris/proto if that can help (there are still changes in Form.php)

Thanks, I'll take a look.

I would have expected it to be faster however `array_map` is about twice slower... reverted !
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
* vicb/form-render-fix:
[Form][TwigBridge] Improve the cache layer by caching blocks instead of templates
[Form][TwigBridge] Make the template cache more efficient
[Form][TwigBridge] Fix rendering
