I wanted to add created_by and updated_by columns to my Doctrine schema. But the existing templates doesn't support that, so i've rewritten the Timestampable template.

Now Doctrine can automatically update these fields to the specific username oder userid.

config/doctrine/schema.yml:

ExampleUser:
  tableName: example_user
  columns:
    id:
      primary: true
      autoincrement: true
      type: integer(4)
    name:
      type: string(255)
    password:
      type: string(255)
  actAs:
    Userid:
      created:
        name: created_by
        type: integer
      updated:
        name: updated_by
        type: string
 

If you are writing integer as type the template will call $sf_user->getId(), if you write string it will call $sf_user->getUsername().

So the above example will write the ID to created_by column and the username to updated_by column.
