Looking at the signature for `deleteAll` should answer your question: > function deleteAll($conditions, $cascade = true, $callbacks = false)
In the version of cake I'm using, it does say in the comments that $callbacks is "not being used", but a quick view of the code shows that it is. If you enable both $cascade and $callbacks you should get the effect you're looking for. hth grigri On Apr 14, 12:28 pm, Martin Westin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I frequently need to verify that deleting a record is allowed.
