symfony : Problem with custom post validator

Question

Hello,

I have made a nested form using the method 'embedRelation'. In a main form I have twelve child forms.

EDIT :

$subForm = new sfForm();
for ($i = 0; $i < 12; $i++){
   $enfant = new Enfant();
   $enfant->Locataire = $this->getObject();

   $form = new EnfantForm($enfant);

   $subForm->embedForm($i, $form);
}
$this->embedForm('newEnfant', $subForm);

I want make a post validator to ignore the childs not filled.

But my validator does nothing : all the childs are saved in the database.

I have put the validator in lib/validator/sfValidatorEnfants.class.php

class sfValidatorEnfants extends sfValidatorBase {

 protected function configure($options = array(), $messages = array()) {
  $this->addMessage('sexe', 'Le sexe est requis.');
  $this->addMessage('datenaissance', 'La date de naissance est requise.');
 }

 protected function doClean($values) {
  $errorSchema = new sfValidatorErrorSchema($this);

  foreach($values as $key => $value) {
   $errorSchemaLocal = new sfValidatorErrorSchema($this);

   // La date de naissance est renseignée mais pas le sexe
   if (!$value['sexe'] && $value['datenaissance']) {
    $errorSchemaLocal->addError(new sfValidatorError($this, 'required'), 'sexe');
   }

   // Le sexe est renseigné mais pas la date de naissance
   if ($value['sexe'] && !$value['datenaissance']) {
    $errorSchemaLocal->addError(new sfValidatorError($this, 'required'), 'datenaissance');
   }

   // Pas de sexe ni de date de naissance renseigné, suppression des valeurs vides
   if (!$value['sexe'] || !$value['datenaissance'] || empty($value['datenaissance']) || empty($value['sexe'])) {
    unset($values[$key]);
   }

   if (count($errorSchemaLocal)) {
    $errorSchema->addError($errorSchemaLocal, (string) $key);
   }
  }

  if (count($errorSchema)) {
   throw new sfValidatorErrorSchema($this, $errorSchema);
  }

  return $values;
 }
}

I call it in EnfantForm.class.php (the class of my child forms) :

$this->mergePostValidator(new sfValidatorEnfants());

EDIT :

My method saveEmbeddedForms() :

public function saveEmbeddedForms($con = null, $forms = null) {
        if (null === $forms) {
            $enfants = $this->getValue('newEnfant');
            $forms = $this->embeddedForms;

            foreach ($this->embeddedForms['newEnfant'] as $name => $form) {
                if (!isset($enfants[$name])) {
                    unset($forms['newEnfant'][$name]);
                }
            }
        }

        return parent::saveEmbeddedForms($con, $forms);
    }

Hello It wouldn't hurt to say you are following this tutorial if you are ;-) Fabien says you are supposed to override the saveEmbeddedForms() method, did you do it?

P.S. Are you french? Because I am, and I also am following this tutorial to create a form with multiple child forms :-)
