Question

Is it possible to retrieve User information inside a filter in symfony 1.4?

I know that in an action I can call

$this->getUser()

and in a template I use

$sf_user

but how can I do in a filter?

Answer 1

Good practice:

in action:

 $this->formFilter= new YourFormFilter(array(), array('user' => $this->getUser()));

and in your form filter class:

class YourFormFilter extends BaseYourFormFilter{

 public function configure(){

    $user = $this->getOption('user')
  }
}

Bad practice:

in your form filter class:

class YourFormFilter extends BaseYourFormFilter{

  public function configure(){

    $user = sfContext::getInstance()->getUser();
  }
}
