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;
}

Dammit... that was easy.. 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...

Freakin' Awesome!!! J-Cook is simply awesome - whether you're a highly experienced developer or complete novice whether you're building a small inventory component or a complete community solution! The beauty comes from a fast slick and reliable platform that readily provides developers with everything they'll need to build the backbone of a solid and secure component with wizards for authoring access publishing aliasing created/modified by dates... you name it COOK provides it! J-Cook really surpasses all of the 'competition' as far as MVC tools are concerned! Try love it and get cooking!
