Symfony + Sonata, OneToMany Relation

Question

Could anyone give me a hand please?

I need to implement the list of books and readers using Sonata admin bundle.

The problem is that I get empty column of read books for each reader in the list.

Forein keys are written okay to the DB.

Please see the code:

ReadersAdmin Class

protected function configureFormFields(FormMapper $formMapper)
{
    $formMapper
        ->add('name')
        ->add('book',
            'entity',
            array(
                'class'    => 'AppBundle:Books',
                'property' => 'name',
                'multiple' => true,
                'expanded' => true
            )
        );
}

/**
 * @param \Sonata\AdminBundle\Show\ShowMapper $showMapper
 *
 * @return void
 */
protected function configureShowField(ShowMapper $showMapper)
{
    $showMapper
        ->add('name')
        ->add('book')
    ;
}

/**
 * @param \Sonata\AdminBundle\Datagrid\ListMapper $listMapper
 *
 * @return void
 */
protected function configureListFields(ListMapper $listMapper)
{
    $listMapper
        ->add('name')
        ->add('book')
        ->add('_action', 'input', array(
            'actions' => array(
                'show' => array(),
                'edit' => array(),
                'delete' => array(),
            )
        ))
    ;
}

Answer 1

So, have you problem for store data using your relationship ? Or juste for get data in list ?

If it's for save data, try to implement Sonata type collection or Sonata type model field types for register new related entries.

Then, if you have any problems, we will check if your entities setters have missing actions.
