Symfony help

Hello,

So I have been playing with symfony for sime time now and I like it a lot. I have tried to create my first project in it but I have got stuck on a little problem.

I will try to explain the issue.

I have decided to create a simple CMS just to test the symfony and to learn how it works. I am using version 1.1 and everything I have done so far was following the official documentation point by point, yet there is a problem.

The schema.yml for my project looks like this:

propel:
  post:
    id:            ~
    author_id:     ~
    title:         varchar(255)
    excerpt:       longvarchar
    body:          longvarchar
    created_at:    ~
    updated_at:    timestamp
  author:
    id:            ~
    name:          varchar(255)
    email:         varchar(255)
  category:
    id:            ~
    name:          varchar(255)
  tag:
    id:            ~  
    name:          varchar(255)
  comment:
    id:            ~
    post_id:       ~
    author:        varchar(255)
    email:         varchar(255)
    body:          longvarchar
    created_at:    ~
  category_post:
    category_id:   { type: integer, primaryKey: true, foreignReference: id, foreignTable: category, onUpdate: cascade, onDelete: cascade }
    post_id:       { type: integer, primaryKey: true, foreignReference: id, foreignTable: post, onUpdate: cascade, onDelete: cascade }
  tag_post:
    tag_id:        { type: integer, primaryKey: true, foreignReference: id, foreignTable: tag, onUpdate: cascade, onDelete: cascade }
    post_id:       { type: integer, primaryKey: true, foreignReference: id, foreignTable: post, onUpdate: cascade, onDelete: cascade }
  page:
    id:            ~
    title:         varchar(255)
    body:          longvarchar
    created_at:    ~
    updated_at:    timestamp

Code (markup):

As you can see, it's a pretty basic CMS schema. Next, I have built the model by executing:

symfony propel:build-all

Code (markup):

Finally, I have tried to create an admin area using the admin generator:

symfony propel:init-admin backend post Post

Code (markup):

The module was created successfuly and works fine but I am completely confused as how to add some basic validation to the form for adding posts.

What I would like to do is to have a validation for title, content ect... so it won't be able to submit the form with empty fields.

Following the official documentation, I have tried adding to the generator.yml for the post module:

fields:
  post{title}:
    required:
      msg:        You must provide a title

Code (markup):

Which doesn't work, I can still submit a post with empty title. Yes, this is just an excerpt of my generator.yml file and it is correctly indented.

I have also tried modifying the schema:

post:
  id:            ~
  author_id:     ~
  title:         { type: varchar(255), required: true }
  excerpt:       { type: longvarchar, required: true }
  body:          { type: longvarchar, required: true }
  created_at:    ~
  updated_at:    timestamp

Code (markup):

Then I rebuilt the model and cleared the cache, of course. And it still doesn't work.

I am completely confused as to where I am making something wrong plus the admin generator validation isn't explained very well in the documentation, moreover there is much conflicting information.

I would really appreciate some help from an experienced symfony user. I am very new to it, so please excuse these stupid questions.

 

Nobody?
