php - Symfony2 - How to put label and input for checkboxes/radios in a same line?

Question

In my form I have some checkboxes, but by default, I have :

• the first radio widget
• the first label
• the second radio widget
• the label

Here is the html code generated by SYmfony2 :

  <div>
    <input ...>
    <label ...></label>
    <input ...>
    <label ...></label>
  </div>

What I want is to have :

the first radio widget the first label
the second radio widget the second label

The html code would be :

  <label .....><input ....></label>

I think I have to override the choice_widget but don't know how to put input and label on the same line

Here is the choice_widget I may need to override :

    {% block choice_widget %}
        {% spaceless %}
            {% if expanded %}
                <div {{ block('widget_container_attributes') }}>
                   {% for child in form %}
                      {{ form_widget(child) }}  {{ form_label(child) }}
                   {% endfor %}
                </div>
            {% else %}
                <select {{ block('widget_attributes') }}{% if multiple %} multiple="multiple"{% endif %}>
                {% if empty_value is not none %}
                     <option value="">{{ empty_value|trans }}</option>
                {% endif %}
                {% if preferred_choices|length > 0 %}
                    {% set options = preferred_choices %}
                    {{ block('widget_choice_options') }}
                        {% if choices|length > 0 and separator is not none %}
                            <option disabled="disabled">{{ separator }}</option>
                       {% endif %}
                {% endif %}
                {% set options = choices %}
                {{ block('widget_choice_options') }}
                </select>
           {% endif %}
      {% endspaceless %}
   {% endblock choice_widget %}

I had the same problem, and I was unable to find a solution so I worked it out on my own. You are correct that you do need to override the {% block choice_widget %} block. The first step is to remove the {{ form_label(child) }} line from the {% if expanded %} section that prints out a separate label.

{% block choice_widget %}
{% spaceless %}
    {% if expanded %}
        <div {{ block('widget_container_attributes') }}>
        {% for child in form %}
            {{ form_widget(child) }}
        {#  {{ form_label(child) }} <--------------------- remove this line #}  
        {% endfor %}
        </div>
    {% else %}
    <select {{ block('widget_attributes') }}{% if multiple %} multiple="multiple"{% endif %}>
        {% if empty_value is not none %}
            <option value="">{{ empty_value|trans }}</option>
        {% endif %}
        {% if preferred_choices|length > 0 %}
            {% set options = preferred_choices %}
            {{ block('widget_choice_options') }}
            {% if choices|length > 0 and separator is not none %}
                <option disabled="disabled">{{ separator }}</option>
            {% endif %}
        {% endif %}
        {% set options = choices %}
        {{ block('widget_choice_options') }}
    </select>
    {% endif %}
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock choice_widget %}

Now you will just need to handle printing the label in the {% block checkbox_widget %} block.

{% block checkbox_widget %}
{% spaceless %}
    <label  for="{{ id }}"><input type="checkbox" {{ block('widget_attributes') }}{% if value is defined %} value="{{ value }}"{% endif %}{% if checked %} checked="checked"{% endif %} />{{ label|trans }}</label>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock checkbox_widget %}

You will need to do the same for {% block radio_widget %} since it would not otherwise have a label now.

{% block radio_widget %}
{% spaceless %}
    <label  for="{{ id }}"><input type="radio" {{ block('widget_attributes') }}{% if value is defined %} value="{{ value }}"{% endif %}{% if checked %} checked="checked"{% endif %} />{{ label|trans }}</label>
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock radio_widget %}
