Readable Timezone Field Type for Symfony2

The stock Symfony2 timezone field type organizes all of the Olson Timezone Identifiers in PHP by Continent and displays them to the user. This dropdown is pretty bad from a UI perspective. This bundles provides an alternate dropdown that is similar to the one found when choosing a time zone on a Windows computer., _(*1)

This is my first symfony2 bundle, feedback welcome!, _(*2)

Installation

Edit your deps file and add the following:, _(*3)

[BertTimezoneBundle]
    git=git://github.com/bertrandom/BertTimezoneBundle.git
    target=/bundles/Bert/TimezoneBundle

Run the vendors install script:, _(*4)

bin/vendors install, _(*5)

This will pull down the latest version of this bundle from github. Alternatively you can just put the files in /vendor/bundles/Bert/TimezoneBundle, _(*6)

Next, add the namespace to the end of the registerNamespaces bit in autoload.php:, _(*7)

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    'Symfony'          => array(__DIR__.'/../vendor/symfony/src', __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles'),
    'Sensio'           => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',

    .
    .
    .

    'Bert'             => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
));

Add the bundle in AppKernel.php:, _(*8)

$bundles = array(
    new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
    new Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\SecurityBundle(),

    .
    .
    .

    new Bert\TimezoneBundle\BertTimezoneBundle(),
);

That's it, the field type should be ready to use., _(*9)

Usage

Simply use the field type readabletimezone in your form builder, e.g.:, _(*10)

$builder
    ->add('username')
    ->add('plainPassword', 'repeated', array('type' => 'password'))
    ->add('firstname')
    ->add('lastname')
    ->add('email', 'email')
    ->add('timezone', 'readabletimezone')
;
