symfony2 form disable

Question

I am using the same form to "preview" an object as I am to "edit/update" the same object. In my showAction() for the controller I have the following code:

$form = $this->createForm(new SalesEntityType($entity), $entity, array('read_only' => true) );

This code works great for the primary form but there are a number of subforms that are made part of this by inclusion. One example in the show.html.twig is:

{% include 'TargetCommonBundle:Hours:hoursForm.html.twig' with { form: hours } %}

Unfortunately, the read_only setting on the parent form does not seem to cascade to the included subforms. Is there a way to handle this?

Answer 1

Try:

$form = $this->createForm(
    new SalesEntityType($entity),
    $entity,
    [ 'disabled' => true ]
);
