Re: Behavior method won't work

Here's the link to the hasField method I forgot to paste http://api.cakephp.org/2.4/class-Model.html#_hasField

So just to elaborate, in AppModel::beforeDelete() I check if the deleted field exists, if so I update the deleted field and return false. Otherwise I return true and let CakePHP do its thing.

If you want to do this with a behavior then you should look at the beforeDelete callback, you can update your field within this callback and then return false to automatically abort the delete (as per the book).

http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/behaviors.html#ModelBehavior::beforeDelete

You could also just write something like this in your AppModel to make it apply to all models, my applications use $this->hasField('deleted') to see if soft delete is supported with the model.

I'll try to write my very first behavior that does a soft delete instead of a hard delete. I've expanded my model with

public $actsAs = array('SoftDelete');

and I've created the behavior "SoftDeleteBehavior.php" in App/Model/Behavior:

 
<?php
App::uses('ModelBehavior', 'Model');
class SoftDeleteBehavior extends ModelBehavior
{
    function setup(Model $Model, $settings = array())
    {
        
    }
    
    function delete(Model $Model, $id = null)
    {
        $Model->id = $id;
        
        if ($Model->saveField('deleted', date('Y-m-d H:i:s'))) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

However, when I try to delete something, the delete() method from my behavior doesn't overwrite the normal one. What could cause this issue?
