Datagrid for Symfony?

I want to use a datagrid in one of my modules (Symfony 1.3, Propel ORM). I have spent a while searching the web, but everything I found expects a direct connection to teh db (mySQL) or is otherwise unsuitable.

I found the datagrid plugin (http://symfony.swisscenter.com/datagrid/exemples), but the documentation/examples are in French - and I'm not too keen on learning French just for the sake of using the plugin - besides, if all the users are French speakers, then it will be difficult to get support/help if/when I do hget stuck.

So my questions are:

  1. Is anyone aware of a good (PHP) datagrid component that I can use with SF?
  2. Is anyone out there (English speaker), using the SF datagrid plugin?

Going the javascrit way with jquery or Angular will be better.

I recently went through the same thing and in the end we went with http://datatables.net/. You can use it with or without rest and we've found it fits our needs pretty nice.

You can try to use extJS Grid. ExtJs is having well explained of documentation. We have used this in our sf 1.4 project.

Create a widget that will import extjs Grid

You will have to create rest api for data for the grid. This can be easily achieved by using sfDoctrineRestGeneratorPlugin for doctrine.

I could not find a plugin for propel orm. Rest API can be easily created without a plugin

For Editable ExtJs 4 grid documentation refer http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.0.7/#!/example/restful/restful.html

I think jqGrid is the best among all listed above. Allows inline editing, adding rows, searching, sorting, column selection, column reordering, resizing, etc out-of-the-box. Data formats that can be used are datasource, JSON & XML. Demos at: http://trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/jqgrid.html
