[CakePHP] update instead of delete

Question

hi all,

with cakephp, is it possible to have update sql action instead of delete (i would like to set some kind of flag, so it "looks" like it is deleted)?

tnx in adv!!!

Answer 1

It's easy enough using callbacks. A less manual approach, though, would be to grab the SoftDeletable behavior and tweak it to meet any special needs you may have.

Answer 2

Just create an delete / disable kind of column and update the same on delete, you would need to put condition delete / disable true for all find queries
