customizing form templates (new/edit view) for admin generated modules

I am using SF 1.2.9 (with Propel ORM), to build a website. I have generated admin modules for some of my models. I want to modify the template used to display the Form because there are some fields that I dont want to display (but need) - example the 'slug' field in a form.

Since the templates are autogenerated, I cant make the changes there. How can I specify a template to use for rendering a form in the new/edit view?

To hide or remove fields from a form, I think you should check that link.

To sum up, the admin generator uses a ORM sfForm to render the edit action. So if you remove fields: 

// lib/form/doctrine/ADoctrineClassForm.class.php
class ADoctrineClass extends BaseADoctrineClass
{
  public function configure()
  {
    ...
    unset($this['field_name']
    ...

You can also change the widget used the render the field by redefining which widget to use:

//in ADoctrineClass configure method also
$this->widgetSchema['a_field_a_want_to_hide'] = new sfWidgetFormInputHidden()

I hope this helps.

In general, to override generated templates with your own, you just have to name your template same as generated one.

But looks like you do not need it. Hint: you can choose which fields to show in admin generator. Please consult symfony reference manual to realize how
