Bah! I was passing by value. OK, so I've changed it to:
function afterFind(&$results)
{
if (isset($results['first_name']))
{
$results['link_name'] =
Member::makeLinkName($results['first_name'],
$results['last_name']);
...
return $results;
}
foreach ($results as $key => $val)
{
...
}
return $results;
}
This allows me to avoid repeating a chunk of code, at least. But I'm
still not confident that this is the best way to go about using
afterFind(). I just came across this Autofield behavior:

I'm going to play around with that a bit.
