Canceling saving of an item via onBeforeSaveField function

It would be too simple

The video could be a youtube video, or dailymotion, or ...

I have to execute a script in order to get all the video's information and fill other fields (extract the title to name the article, ...)

I will use :

and use {youtube}prefix and {/youtube} suffix

with a field own-made.

But I would like to know if it is possible to fill a field through another ?
Maybe in the form ?

Check this FAQ article, but note it is meant for developers:

Hi,

I have a problem with the BeforeSaveField.
How can I do in order to avoid saving article if my test failed ?

Because I have just a warning but article still saved.

I used :

Code:

Thank you.

Saving fields is performed after item is saved so you can not cancel item saving inside this function by e.g. setting a message (with enqueueMessage) and then redirecting to some page e.g. refer (previous page)


We have another event that is triggered before saving item:
onBeforeSaveItem

and use inside a plugin of TYPE system or flexicontent:

Also in backend items.php controller a fix for redirection after error during item saving:
replace: with

Thank you.

I have a last query :
In OnBeforeSaveField, I would like to delete entirely the item saved before.
Can I get the item id related to the field with $model->get('id') ?

Is there a way to delete (e.g. a function) an item properly ?



Thank you.
