how to embed one to many sonata admin child views

I know you can add fields of a child view in sonata admin by point referencing child.field in the show view, but that only works for one to one relationships. I have a one parent - many - child relationship. And this does not work:

<?php $showMapper->add('child', 'sonata_type_model',array(), array(
                'edit' => 'inline',
                'inline' => 'table',
                ))

Although it works great for the formMapper. How are you supposed to do this? If it is through the twig view please give me an example.

For the ShowMapper you just do $showMapper->add('child');

However it will most of the time only display a link to the child object.

As you suggested you can also directly render child fields with

$formMapper->add('child.field');

But it will not work for collections

To customize the rendering when having a collection you can make your own template extending SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:base_show_field.html.twig

In the template your child object(s) will be in the value variable wich you can loop on to display each element

Then add your field specifying the template

$showMapper->add('children', null, array('template' =>'MyBundle:CRUD:MyCustomTemplate.html.twig'));
