1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | private $fileTemplateName = [];/** * @param $cascade */ public function beforeDelete($cascade = true) { $this->fileTemplateName = $this->findById($this->id); return true; } public function afterDelete() { $filename = $this->fileTemplateName['PrintTemplate']['file_template']; $fileToDelete = WWW_ROOT . Configure::read('GLABELS_ROOT') . DS . $filename; $file = new File($fileToDelete); $file->delete(); } |
This was a work-a-round because despite CakePHP 2 documentation showing use of $this->data to access record data in the above callbacks $this->data was empty in both afterDelete and beforeDelete for me.
So the answer is in beforeDelete use $this->id to find the record and save it in a class property and then from afterDelete use the record array as needed
Versions: CakePHP 2.10.8 & PHP 7.2
