$pages->deleteReady() method

Hook called when a page is about to be deleted, but before data has been touched

This is different from a before Pages::delete hook because this hook is called once it has been confirmed that the page is deleteable and will be deleted.

Usage

// basic usage
$pages->deleteReady(Page $page);

// usage with all arguments
$pages->deleteReady(Page $page, array $options = []);

Arguments

Name	Type(s)	Description
`page`	Page	Page that is about to be deleted.
`options` (optional)	array	Options passed to delete method (since 3.0.163)

Hooking $pages->deleteReady(…)

You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the $pages->deleteReady(…) method is executed. Examples of both are included below. A good place for hook code such as this is in your /site/ready.php file.

Hooking before

The 'before' hooks are called immediately before each $pages->deleteReady(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.

$this->addHookBefore('Pages::deleteReady', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $pages = $event->object;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (and optionally modify them)
  $page = $event->arguments(0);
  $options = $event->arguments(1);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */

  // Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
  $event->arguments(0, $page);
  $event->arguments(1, $options);
});

Hooking after

The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each $pages->deleteReady(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.

$this->addHookAfter('Pages::deleteReady', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $pages = $event->object;

  // An 'after' hook can retrieve and/or modify the return value
  $return = $event->return;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (if needed)
  $page = $event->arguments(0);
  $options = $event->arguments(1);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying the return value */

  // Populate back return value, if you have modified it
  $event->return = $return;
});
