Symfony - sfGuardUser - How to log group or permissions changes?

I log changes for objects in my application within the processForm function by checking for differences in the object before and after its been saved. I persist that to a log table in my database.

For the sfGuardUser backend, I use the generated admin, which automatically saves changes made to the embedded groups or permissions.

I'd like to log those changes - but where can I add my log process?

Well I think the best place to handle such change is in the model instead of in the processForm. This is the perfect job of a behavior.

There is a behavior called versionable which do exactly what you did: historize each change on a model and you just have to define it in your schema.yml:

BlogPost:
  _propel_behaviors:
    versionable:
      log_created_at: true
      log_created_by: true
      log_comment: true
  columns:
    title: string(255)
    body: clob

So maybe you can get inspiration from this behavior to create your own. And then you just to modify the schema.yml of sfGuard, like:

sfGuardGroupPermission:
  _attributes:    { phpName: sfGuardGroupPermission }
  _propel_behaviors:
    versionable: { log_created_at: true, log_created_by: true, log_comment: true }

Edit: Switched to Propel.
