Hi
What’s the simplest way to check if a user has changed a record?
User “A” starts to edit a record
User “B” starts to edit the same record and saves first
User “A” no longer has the most up to date record
How can I check to see there isn’t a more recent copy of the file before saving?
Thanks - will give that a go. I am using timestamp behaviour - forgot to add modified as a hidden field and wondering why it didn’t work!
You can also enable more sophisticated logging/audit plugins here to keep track of modifications.
thanks - will be adding back some sort of logging.
What we had in our CakePHP 2 app was a simple behaviour that added optimistic locking - stored in a virtual field the modified date and on saving checked that to the current modified date. If it’s different someone else was editing the record as well and saved it - popped up a message like
The record was updated while you were on this page. Please confirm you want to overwrite those changes by submitting again.
never mind - think I found what I want
