symfony2 selected option - php

Question

I'm making the user edit.
I want to view selected role of the current user by Users.role_id = UsersRole.id
The table Users has four columns (id,username,roleId,descriptions)
The table UsersRole has two columns (id,name)
Controller:
public function editAction($id) {
$user = $this->getDoctrine()
->getEntityManager()
->getRepository('TruckingMainBundle:Users')
->find($id);
if (!$user) {
throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find user id.');
}
$form = $this->createForm(new \Trucking\AdminBundle\Form\UserType(), $user);
$request = $this->getRequest();
//save data
if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
$form->bindRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid()) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('tracking_admin_users'));
}
}
return $this->render('TruckingAdminBundle:user:edit.html.twig', array(
'id' => $id,
'form' => $form->createView()
)
);
}
UserType.php
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
$builder
->add('roleId', 'entity', array(
'class' => 'TruckingMainBundle:UsersRole',
'property' => 'name'
))
->...->..
}
I don't know how to set selected (default) value in that list, I've been trying to do it for 5 hours ,but still no results I've used preferred_choices, query_builder -> where I can select by critreia(but i don't need that)
http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/entity.html
I can print my current user id -> print_r($user->getRoleId()); I already have it.
My 'Users' entity has connection with UserRole entity

Answer 1

Set the property on your entity before you render the form:
if (!$user) {
throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find user id.');
}
//THIS IS NEW
$theRole = getRoleEntityFromSomewhereItMakesSense();
$user->setRole($theRole); //Pass the role object, not the role's ID
$form = $this->createForm(new \Trucking\AdminBundle\Form\UserType(), $user);
$request = $this->getRequest();
When you generate a form, it gets automatically populated with the properties of the entity you are using.
EDIT
Change
->add('roleId', 'entity', array(
to
->add('roles', 'entity', array(
I don't get why you have roleId and roles at the same time.
Also change the following, since roles is a single element, not an array (you have a relation one-to-one on it, and should be one-to-many and reversed as many-to-one, but I guess it will also work)
public function getRoles() {
return $this->roles;
}
public function setRoles($role) {
$this->roles = $role;
}

Answer 2

There has been a problem with ORM JOINS. id to role_id
I've changed the mapping from One-To-One Bidirectional
to One-To-One, Unidirectional with Join Table.
