Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to check if a writing action is the first in onAfterWrite method ? I know it's possible in onBeforeWrite method with a test on the existance of the ID :

function onBeforeWrite() {
    parent::onBeforeWrite();
    
    if (!$this->ID) {
        // first write
    }
    else {
        // next write when updates
    }
}

But, in onAfterWrite ?

Thanks.

salut

so you trying to find if the DataObject you just wrote is the first in the DB?

function onAfterWrite(){
  parent::onAfterWrite();
  $list = DataObject::get($this->ClassName);
  return $list->Count();
}

anyway, you don't need to check if you writing a new DataObject or just updating, th framework does it for you.

Hi - the first thing that comes into my mind, without delving into any code, is - if you've check it in onBeforeWrite, you can easily save the result in a property, and check the value of that property in onAfterWrite..
