[Vtigercrm-developers] Workflow on entity delete?

[Max Clarke]

For those interested, to fire an event when an entity is unlinked from its
parent, add the following to include/utils/utils.php at line 1394:

require_once("include/events/include.inc");
$adb = PearDatabase::getInstance();
$em = new VTEventsManager($adb);
$em->initTriggerCache();
$entityData = VTEntityData::fromEntityId($adb, $record);
$em->triggerEvent("vtiger.entity.beforeunlink", $entityData);

and then for an event fired after unlink, after this line just under what
you inserted at 1394:

$focus->trackUnLinkedInfo($return_module, $return_id, $module, $record);

add the following:

$em->triggerEvent("vtiger.entity.beforeunlink", $entityData);

Cheers

Max
