Hi all
Is there a standard mechanism for telling why a record hasn't been
deleted?
When a record isn't deleted, it just tells "Xxx was not deleted", but
without any reason. So for example, when I'm creating a
beforeDelete(..) hook that prevents the record from deletion, how
should I let the user know why it hasn't been deleted?
Would using a $deletionError variable be an acceptable way?
function beforeDelete($cascade) {
if($this->hasDependentRecords()) {
$this->deletionError = 'record has dependent records';
return false;
}
}
And in the controller:
if ($this->Post->delete($id)) {
...
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Post was not deleted because '.$this->Post-
>deletionError);
}
What do you think about this solution? Is there a better way?
Thanks, Josh
