CakePHP "Expires" behavior. Works with 1.2. I don't think any changes are required to get it working with 2.0. Ensure you've added `expiry_date` (DATE) column to your model table.
<?php
class ExpiresBehavior extends ModelBehavior {
protected $_defaults = array(
'field' => 'expiry_date'
);
/**
* Setup this behavior with the specified configuration settings.
*
* @param object $model Model using this behavior
* @param array $config Configuration settings for $model
* @access public
*/
function setup(&$model, $config = array()) {
// merge existing settings or defaults with the model config
$this->settings[$model->alias] = array_merge(
isset($this->settings[$model->alias]) ? $this->settings[$model->alias] : $this->_defaults,
$config
);
// throw exception if the model's db field doesn't exists in the db table
if (!array_key_exists($this->settings[$model->alias]['field'], $model->_schema)) {
throw new Exception(
sprintf(
"%s field does not exist in the %s table",
$this->settings[$model->alias]['field'],
$model->useTable
),
1);
}
}
/**
* Before find callback
*
* @param object $model Model using this behavior
* @param array $queryData Data used to execute this query, i.e. conditions, order, etc.
* @return boolean True if the operation should continue, false if it should abort
* @access public
*/
function beforeFind(&$model, $query) {
// if a condition is already set, then do nothing
if (array_key_exists($this->settings[$model->alias]['field'], $query)) {
return $query;
}
// merge existing query with the expiry condition
return Set::merge($query, array(
'conditions' => array(
// return records that have their expiry date in the future
$model->alias . '.' . $this->settings[$model->alias]['field'].' >=' => date('Y-m-d')
)
));
}
}
?>
<?php
class Gist extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Gist';
// include Expires behavior
var $actsAs = array(
'Expires'
);
}
?>
