Hi Javi,
While some good points are made in that post, I'm not too concered,
and I will continue to store emails in the username field.
"If you store email in username field, you have to be really careful
when using other plugins that depend on sfGuardPlugin, because chances
are, they’d display the email stored in username field publicly."
I fully agree. However, some plugins provide config to determine which
field to display. If they don't you can always override the username
getter to return a nickname field or something.
public function getUsername()
{
return $this->Profile->nickname;
}
"It is also not ‘natural’ to code things like:
$this->sendEmailTo($user->getUsername());"
Again, if you don't have an email field there's nothing stopping you
creating a 'virtual getter':
public function getEmail()
{
return $this->username;
}
I'd be interested to hear what other people think on this issue.
Hope this helps.
Tom
