Thank you received: 53

I have writen some custom code in a save model which I need to be able to detect if a record is being created or updated

I thought I could do this by detecting if ID was specified as a new record would not have an ID, but this was not correct.. here is the sniippet of code. How can I alter it to detect NEW or UPDATED record

Here is the code... in ALL instances wether creating a new record or updating it, $data[ID] is always true

if (parent::save($data)) {

    if (isset($data['id'])) {
        // do this
    } else {
        // do that
    }
    return true;
}

I just made a slight alteration Instead of using if (isset($data['id'])) ust alter it to if ($data['id']) { This works.. who would have thought... Morgan Leecy MCSE Novell / Linux PHP.

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
