POCakePHP: Triggering Custom Event in Behaviour
text
Body
copied!<p>Because of how my application is built, I need to create event handlers for <code>beforeSaveAssociated</code> and <code>afterSaveAssociated</code>. To allow for this, I've updated AppModel.php to contain the following relevant code:</p> <pre><code>public function saveAssociated(array $data = null, array $options = array()) { $this->after_save_options = NULL; $event = new CakeEvent('Model.beforeSaveAssociated', $this, array(&$data, &$options)); $this->after_save_options = NULL; $this->getEventManager()->dispatch($event); if (parent::saveAssociated($data, $options)) { if (is_array($this->after_save_options)) { $curData = $this->data; $this->data = $this->_tempData; $event = new CakeEvent('Model.afterSaveAssociated', $this, $this->after_save_options); $this->after_save_options = NULL; $this->getEventManager()->dispatch($event); $this->data = $curData; } if ($this->_tempData) { $this->_tempData = FALSE; } return TRUE; } return FALSE; } public function implementedEvents() { return array_merge(parent::implementedEvents(), array( 'Model.beforeSaveAssociated' => array( 'callable' => 'beforeSaveAssociated', 'passParams' => TRUE, ), 'Model.afterSaveAssociated' => array( 'callable' => 'afterSaveAssociated', 'passParams' => TRUE, ), )); } </code></pre> <p>Although this works fine for any <code>beforeSaveAssociated</code> defined within a model class, whenever I define it in a behaviour, it doesn't get triggered. If I update <code>saveAssociated</code> above to trigger <code>Model.beforeSave</code> (a built-in event), it does work, so as far as I can tell, it's not an issue with the behaviour not being properly attached.</p> <p>Any help is greatly appreciated,</p>
