beforeCreate() and afterCreate(): better implementation than mine?

Hello folks

From Ruby On Rails I know the beforeCreate() and afterCreate() hooks
of models. I didn't find them for CakePHP, so I implemented them
myself:

function isNewRecord() {
return empty($this->id) || $this->field('created') == $this-
>field('modified');
}

function beforeSave() {
if($this->isNewRecord()) {
return $this->beforeCreate();
}
}

function afterSave() {
if($this->isNewRecord()) {
return $this->afterCreate();
}
}

function beforeCreate() {
return true;
}

function afterCreate() {
return true;
}

Sadly, this implementation depends on created and modified fields, and
the isNewRecord() method itself isn't very beautiful, too. So maybe
there is a better implementation?

Thanks
Josh
