title: Symfony - test the sfDoctrineApplyPlugin mail functionality locally?
body: <p>Okay, so I finnaly enabled the plugin and almost got it to work - followed the instructions at <a href="http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfDoctrineApplyPlugin" rel="nofollow">http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfDoctrineApplyPlugin</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I stumbled accross alot of problems while doing it:</p>
  
  <p><strong>1)</strong> in the schema, the user_id field has to be set as integer, and not integer*<strong>(4)*</strong> as the author written - else you're gonna get a error 1005 from mysql, complaining about foreign key - this is because the field in sfGuardUser, the id, is set as integer and not integer(4).</p>
  
  <p><strong>2)</strong> Assuming you downloaded the full version of Zend, when installing it, the folder you need is the library/Zend one (not the whole ZendFramework, which I thought I needed). Here I had plenty of "unable to include" errors before i realized what's the problem.</p>
  
  <p><strong>3)</strong> After I fixed this, I got the error on this line - "$mailer->disconnect();", saying $mailer isnt declared. This line is inside a catch() clause, so I commented it - and now it seems to be working.</p>
  
  <p>BUT! I beleive the reason I'm getting this error is because my project is driven localy. Because as soon as i commented the mentioned line, it worked and I got an error saying "An error took place during the email delivery process. Please try again later. "</p>
  
  <p>So my question is: how can i test this plugin and the mail functionalities it offers locally?</p>
