How can I pass a variable through edit action ?
Because it’s already passing an object:
$this->form = new SoForm($var);

@Maxime Gréau : you can inject sfUser in admin configuration, eg :

//action.class.php public function preExecute() { $this->dispatcher->connect('admin.pre_execute', array($this, 'listenToAdminPreExecute'));


    parent::preExecute();

  }
  public function listenToAdminPreExecute(sfEvent $event)

  {

    // Inject sfUser in configuration

    $parameters = $event->getParameters();

$parameters['configuration']->setUser($event->getSubject()->getUser()); }

Then override getFormOptions() :
//*GeneratorConfiguration.class.php protected $user;


  public function setUser(sfUser $user)

  {

    $this->user = $user;

  }
  public function getUser()

  {

    return $this->user;

  }

public function getFormOptions() { return array('user' => $this->getUser()); }

@Daniel : when you override the getFormOptions() method, how do you to pass the user as an extra option to the form constructor because we don’t have access to the user object (in BaseXXXGeneratorConfiguration) ?

@moh: you should definitely think about throwing an exception in your configure() method if the currentUser option is not fulfilled!
