How do I check if field has changed?
I'd like to trigger an action in preSave()
only if specific field has changed, e.q.
public function preSave() {
if ($bodyBefore != $bodyNow) {
$this->html = $this->_htmlify($bodyNow);
}
}
The question is how to get this $bodyBefore
and $bodyNow
Please don't fetch the database again! This works for Doctrine 1.2, I haven't tested lower versions.
// in your model class
public function preSave($event) {
if (!$this->isModified())
return;
$modifiedFields = $this->getModified();
if (array_key_exists('title', $modifiedFields)) {
// your code
}
}
Check out the documentation, too.
Travis's answer was almost right, because the problem is that the object is overwritten when you do the Doctrine query. So the solution is:
public function preSave($event)
{
// Change the attribute to not overwrite the object
$oDoctrineManager = Doctrine_Manager::getInstance();
$oDoctrineManager->setAttribute(Doctrine::ATTR_HYDRATE_OVERWRITE, false);
$newRecord = $event->getInvoker();
$oldRecord = $this->getTable()->find($id);
if ($oldRecord['title'] != $newRecord->title)
{
...
}
}
Try this out.
public function preSave($event)
{
$id = $event->getInvoker()->id;
$currentRecord = $this->getTable()->find($id);
if ($currentRecord->body != $event->getInvoker()->body)
{
$event->getEnvoker()->body = $this->_htmlify($event->getEnvoker()->body);
}
}
