Symfony Admin Generator Calling Actions with Custom Parameters

The administration module actions can receive custom parameters using the query_string argument in a link_to() helper. For example, to extend the previous _edit_header partial with a link to the comments for the article, write this:

It filters the comments to display only the ones related to $article. Using the query_string argument, you can specify a sorting order and/or a filter to display a custom list view. This can also be useful for custom interactions.

Override index function

public function executeIndex(sfWebRequest $request)
{
// For filter.. This code was missing in symfony documentation.
if ($request->getParameter('filter'))
{
$this->setFilters($request->getParameter('project_filters'));
}

//-----------------

// sorting
if ($request->getParameter('sort'))
{
$this->setSort(array($request->getParameter('sort'), $request->getParameter('sort_type')));
}

// pager
if ($request->getParameter('page'))
{
$this->setPage($request->getParameter('page'));
}

$this->pager = $this->getPager();
$this->sort = $this->getSort();
}

It took me whole day just to figure out how to make this thing work.

And If you cant understand what is this Just leave it. People who know symfony know the worth of this code snippet

My Solution is:
1.
This article has
getNbComments().’ comments’, ‘comment/list’, array(‘query_string’ => ‘filter=filter&filters[article_id]=’.$article->getId())) ?> comments.
2.
add a function called list in apps/MyApp/modules/commnent
==============================================================
class comment extends autoComment {
public function executeList(sfWebRequest $request)
{
if ($request->hasParameter(‘filter’))
{
$this->setFilters($request->getParameter(‘filters’));
}
$this->redirect(‘@comment’);
}
}
================================================================
