Validation of a form - I'm getting the labels two times

I have a registration form - from FOSUserBundle this is in the template:

{% form_theme form \'AcmeMyBundle:Form:errors.html.twig\' %}

Ok, this is a known issue.

Let's have a look here : https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/2605

The solution is : create your own validation group for properties' validation rules you want to override. In your validation.xml, put only properties you want some different rules, and define validation on a new validation group.

So, for validation.xml, to modify only plainPassword validation rules for your entity (Acme\MyBundle\Entity\User) :

     

        
            
                fos_user.password.blank
                Registration
            
            
                6
                fos_user.password.short
                
                    RegistrationAcme
                    ProfileAcme
                
            
        
     

And now you have to state that you use different validation groups for the impacted forms (registration and profile). Fortunately, FOSUserBundle is a good practices' example and allows you to override them in your config.yml :

fos_user:
    registration:
        form:
            validation_groups: [Default, RegistrationAcme]
    profile:
        form:
            validation_groups: [Default, ProfileAcme]
