Re: [Wiserplatform-support] how entity pages are assembled

[Tim G. <tgr...@gm...>]

The symfony sfView and sfController classes are responsible for rendering
the newSuccess view, storing the results as $content, and then injecting
that back into the page layout.  To understand the basics of how the actions
are called and the views are rendered, I highly recommend reading the
relevant chapters of the symfony book:

http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_0/06-Inside-the-Controller-Layer
http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_0/07-Inside-the-View-Layer

If you just want to add some fields to each entity the process is detailed
here:
