Symfony 1.4, sfGuardPlugin with existing user table/model

I have symfony 1.4 installed and had setup my own user model (table). Now, in order to use sfFacebookConnectPlugin, it asks to use sfGuard plugin, so it can e开发者_开发技巧asily integrate existing users with facebook account.

Is there a way to use sfGuardPlugin with existing user model ? OR is there a better way to implement facebook connect, such that it recognizes the same user (by email), if exists, or creates a new user in the user table with the fb email id and also creates the session.

Thx !

You can use sfGuardPlugin with an existing model, the schema file will be loaded from the plugin's folder and the table names are namespaced in a way that prevents naming collisions.

All you have to do is install the plugin as per its installation instructions and then build your model. To deploy to production you can either copy the SQL that propel generates (in data/sql) and execute it or use a program like Toad for MySQL to generate diff sql upgrade scripts.

Have you tried and failed? I hope I've addressed your concerns.
