> where is the best place to put the profile object in the session?

Example 1. For sfGuardAuthActions

class sfGuardAuthActions extends BasesfGuardAuthActions
{
    public function executeSignin()
    {
        if ($this->getRequest()->getMethod() == sfRequest::POST) {
            $this->setSessionDatas();
        }

        // Parent
        parent::executeSignin();
    }

    public function setSessionDatas()
    {
        $this->getUser()->setProfile();
    }

Example 2. In myUser.class.php

class myUser extends sfGuardSecurityUser
{
    // Namespace
    const NS             = 'sfGuardSecurityUser';

    // Cles
    const ADMIN_MENU_KEY = 'admin_menus';
    const PROFILE_KEY    = 'profile';
    const USER_NAME_KEY  = 'user_name';
    const USER_ID_KEY    = 'user_id';

    ...

    public function getProfile()
    {
        return $this->getAttribute(self::PROFILE_KEY, null, self::NS);
    }

    public function setProfile()
    {
        $this->setAttribute(self::PROFILE_KEY, parent::getProfile(), self::NS);
        $this->setAttribute(self::USER_NAME_KEY, parent::getUserName(), self::NS);
    }

My solution

Solution Synopsis

Get data in executeSignin.

Solution

public function executeSignin()
{
    // pre hook
    // Store data in the user session
    if ($this->getUser()->getGuardUser()) {
        $this->getUser()->
            setAttribute('sfGuardProfileId',
                         $this->getUser()->getProfile()->getId());
        // done
        }

// call the parent method
parent::executeSignin();

    // post hook
}

Analysis / Reason

The executeSignin is called twice when logging in user.

The first time is to show the form, and the 2nd time is to redirect to the $referer page.

Adding a if statement will make sure the data is stored in the user session after user has logged in and before the page will be redirected.

Trying History

Store data to the user session in pre hook, get the following. NB, the reason that I use pre hook initially is because that the parent::executeSignin uses redirect at the end.
```
Fatal error: Call to a member function getProfile() on a non-object in /var/www/cm/plugins/sfGuardPlugin/lib/user/sfGuardSecurityUser.class.php on line 193
```
Store data to the user session in post hook, as follows, still get the above error.

class sfGuardAuthActions extends BasesfGuardAuthActions { /** * Executes Signin action * */ public function executeSignin() { // pre hook

// call the parent method
parent::executeSignin();

        // post hook
        // Store data in the user session
        $this->getUser()->
            setAttribute('sfGuardProfileId',
                         $this->getUser()->getProfile()->getId());
    }
}
