Question

at the moment I´m checking out the canEdit and canDelete Functions of Dataobject. As far as I can see I have to call that functions always manually in the template or other php code… Is there a way to prevent editing/deleting in general for a certain Dataobject? When I saw the canEdit function the first time I expected it to be checked by silverstripe automatically before writing the DataObject.

So I just want ADMINS to be allowed to write this DataObject:

public function canEdit($member = null){
    return(
        Permission::checkMember($member = Member::currentUser(), 'ADMIN')
    );
}

Regards,
Florian

Answer 1

public function canEdit($member){
  if (Permission::check('ADMIN')){
      return true;
  }else{
     // do something here if applicable 
  } 
}
