title: Symfony Write to sfGuard Table
body: <p>I know it's not ideal, but I have a few extra fields on the sfGuard User table and I would like to write to it from another module.   There is a specific field that is a simple integer but I would like it to -1 each time they perform a specific task.   Here is what I tried.   I don't get an error message but it also doesn't write the number to the table.   </p>
  
  <pre><code>  public function executePublish(sfWebRequest $request)
    {
      $this-&gt;user = $this-&gt;getUser()-&gt;getGuardUser();
      $times = ($this-&gt;user-&gt;getTimes() - 1);
      $this-&gt;getUser()-&gt;getGuardUser()-&gt;setTimes($times);
    }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the "Publish" action for a different module.  Am I doing this wrong?  Thanks.</p>
