Question

sfGuardUser model of sfDoctrineGuardPlugin is defined this way:

sfGuardUser:
  actAs: [Timestampable]
  columns:
    id:
      type: integer(4)
      primary: true
      autoincrement: true
    username:
      type: string(128)
      notnull: true
      unique: true

As you can see ‘username’ has the feature “notnull:true”. Now i want
to create a register form that is not using ‘username’ but the email
address of the user.

When a user wants to register, it is showed this:

Validation failed in class sfGuardUser
1 field had validation error:
* 1 validator failed on username (notnull)

Any idea?

I finally overwrite the schema with another schema that says “notnull:false”. This is possible from sf1.3.
