Hi,

i have a problem with the onBeforeWrite hook.

I want to give a customer DataObject a special customer-number (Kundennummer in german) on the first write.
Here is the code:

	function onBeforeWrite() {

		/* new Customer -> generate Customer# */
		if(!$this->ID) {
			$this->Kundennummer = Kundennummer::createKundennummer($_POST["PLZ"]);
			echo $this->Kundennummer;  //56073001 <- correct
		}

		parent::onBeforeWrite();
	}

But the result is, that the customer gets the default value (=0) as his customer-number.
Any ideas about this?

Greetings
Michael

Hi Michael

Try to move the parent::onBeforeWrite() to the beginning of your function

Same thing, customer id is set to default value.

It should work. Can you post your class-code please? Or better: Put it on http://pastie.org/

This is my complete customer class:

Kundennummer::createKundennummer is working like expected.

I gave this a try.
Seems like you can't use $this->ID to check if it's a new Record. This worked for me:

function onBeforeWrite() {
	
	parent::onBeforeWrite();
		
	if(!$this->Kundennummer) {
		$this->Kundennummer = Kundennummer::createKundennummer($_POST["PLZ"]);
	}
}

Thanks, that's working.

I'm wondering because the

echo $this->Kundennummer;
