[Deprecated] DMZ 1.6.2 (DataMapper OverZealous Edition)

[eluser]OverZealous[/eluser]
Thanks, I added the pt_BR language to the source repository.

Eventually I'll be adding methods that can be used to hook into the main methods (save, delete, etc.) for use in extensions, which will be better for upgrades and so forth.

Validation can be used to modify fields just before a save, and that is the recommended method in most cases of handling before save code.

However, if you need after save or other functionality, it would be easier to do this in a subclass:

Code:

class User extends DataMapper
{
    function save($object = '', $related_field = '')
    {
        // handle before save stuff here
        // ex: $this->do_before_save($ret);
        
        $ret = parent::save($object, $related_field);
        
        // handle after save stuff
        // ex: $this->do_after_save($ret);

        return $ret;
    }
}

Then you don't have to modify the source to DMZ, nor do you have to worry too much about upgrades.
