sfContextBehavior

Example : log version author

<database name="propel" defaultIdMethod="native" package="lib.model">
  <behavior name="sf_context" />

  <table name="user">
    <column name="id" type="INTEGER" required="true" primaryKey="true" autoIncrement="true" />
    <column name="name" type="VARCHAR" size="255" />
  </table>

  <table name="versioned_content">
    <column name="id" type="INTEGER" required="true" primaryKey="true" autoIncrement="true" />
    <column name="title" type="VARCHAR" size="255" />
    <column name="version_created_by" type="integer" required="false" />
    <foreign-key foreignTable="user" onDelete="cascade" phpName="VersionAuthor">
      <reference local="version_created_by" foreign="id" />
    </foreign-key>
    <behavior name="versionable">
      <parameter name="log_created_at" value="true" />
      <parameter name="log_created_by" value="true" />
      <parameter name="log_comment" value="true" />
    </behavior>
  </table>
</database>

update your Active record class ass follow

class VersionedContent extends BaseVersionedContent
{
	public function preSave(PropelPDO $con = null)
  {
    if (  ($sf_context = $this->getApplicationContext()) &&
          ($sf_user = $sf_context->getUser())) {
      $this->setVersionCreatedBy($sf_user->getId());
    }

    return true;
  }
}

And every new version will now log current user id if available !

Description

This behavior add context awareness to related object.

To access context, just call getApplicationContext() method. If no context exists, then the method returns null, otherwise context is returned.

This is added to Active record and active query objects
