Symfony Set value of a form field in doSave

I need to override my form like this:

  protected function doSave($con = null)
  {
    $filename= Helper::generateFilename($this->getValue('name')).'jpg';
    imagejpeg(Helper::createImage($this->getValues()), sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir').'/poster/'.$filename );
    /* Here I need to set value of *fielname* field of the form equal to 
     $filename  */
    parent::doSave($con);
  }

Helper.class.php is located in /lib/so it acts like a helper class.

generateFilename actually gives a randomized string. since there is no function like setValue in a form, I'm stuck.

I tried macgyver's approach but didn't work for me. Not sure if I did anything wrong. Syfmony version is 1.4 with Doctrine.

I had to override the updateObject() function inside the form class. In my case its inside TimesheetForm.class.php. I had to change the status of the timesheet based on user action.

Following is the piece of code that that I tried. It did update the object before saving. Which was seen effected in the db.

    public function updateObject($values = null)
    {
        $object = parent::updateObject($values);
        $object->setStatus("Submitted");

        return $object;
    }

I didn't impelement/override the doSave() function. I'm using symfony 1.4. Hope the above helps.

You have to use, say you have used filename as field in your schema to store the image filename, $this->object->setFilename($filename); before parent::doSave($con);
