right. i can then just as well modify the model itself, which imho is a lot cleaner and logical. however i would much rather have this all done inside the projects schema.yml file. for example i define a few standard behaviors inside my schema.yml file, which i can reuse via the merge key alias inside my schema.yml file [1]: actAs: &actAs Timestampable: ~ Blameable: &Blameable default: null blameVar: user_id listener: BlameableCustomListener columns: created: name: author_id length: 4 updated: disabled: true relations: created: class: sfGuardUser disabled: false name: Author Versionable: actAs: Blameable: <<: *Blameable now i have to duplicate this configuration into a model [2]: $blameable0 = new Doctrine_Template_Blameable(array( 'default' => NULL, 'blameVar' => 'user_id', 'listener' => 'BlameableCustomListener', 'columns' => array( 'created' => array( 'name' => 'author_id', 'length' => 4, 'options' => array( 'notnull' => false, ) ), 'updated' => array( 'disabled' => true, ), ), 'relations' => array( 'created' => array( 'class' => 'sfGuardUser', 'disabled' => false, 'name' => 'Author', ), ), )); $this->actAs($blameable0); i think we can all agree that this situation isnt ideal. at the same time there is a somewhat clean work around, so it also not the end of the world. well there i start hitting a wall however is if for example i would rather use a bigint (*) for the id column in sfDoctrineGuard as its currently hardcoded to be a normal interger [3]: sfGuardUser: actAs: [Timestampable] columns: id: type: integer(4) primary: true autoincrement: true regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith m...@pooteeweet.org (*) yes i know that i dont need bigints here, but i am lazy and want to keep the id types consistent in my application and so this means i also need to hardcode the id columns explicitly, since if i leave them out doctrine automatically adds them as a bitint [1] http://code.google.com/p/uninformed/source/browse/trunk/config/doctrine/schema.yml [2] http://code.google.com/p/uninformed/source/browse/trunk/lib/model/doctrine/sfDoctrineGuardPlugin/sfGuardUser.class.php [3] http://trac.symfony-project.org/browser/plugins/sfDoctrineGuardPlugin/branches/1.3/config/doctrine/schema.yml -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
