I\'m working with symfony 1.4 & i use sfDoctrineGuardPlugin as a tool for authentifications.
I want to catch the Id of user in order te store it in my table.
if the user is authenticated, yes, you can use:
// inside an action $id = $this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->getId(); // inside a template $id = $sf_user->getGuardUser()->getId();
If the user is not authenticated, it'll throw an error.
