Override save() and delete() methods in the admin generator

Prev		Next

http://www.symfony-project.org/snippets/snippet/9

Sometimes, you want to do something just before or just after saving or deleting an object in the admin generator. To do that, you can override the saveObject() and/or deleteObject() method in your actions.class.php file:

protected function saveCustomer($customer)
{
  // pre save hook
  $customer->setManagerId($this->getUser()->getManagerId());

  // call the parent save() method
  parent::saveCustomer($customer);

  // post save hook
}

You can also bypass the parent method if you want.

protected function deleteCustomer($customer)
{
  $customer->isDeleted(true);

  // save the customer object
  $this->saveCustomer($customer);

  // bypass the deletion by not calling the parent method
}

Override save() and delete() methods in the admin generator

For example, say I access my 'apps/my_app/modules/my_mod' module via

http://my_host/my_proj/my_app_dev.php/my_mod/

The illustrated code should be put at:

apps/my_app/modules/my_mod/actions/actions.class.php

protected function saveMyMod($info)
{
}

If you need to access the values passed from the admin generator edit form, the

$this->getRequestParameter('my_mod');

would returns an array containing the values filled in the admin generator edit form.
