How to change Modified_by_Userid when Deleting Contact

[aram]

We only allow certain employees the right to delete Contacts.
However, we've had Contacts deleted that should not have been
and we need to track down who deleted them.
The Modified_by UserID shows only the last person that modified
a phone number or similar field, not the user logged in while doing the delete action.

Where (and how) can we modify the code so a Delete Contact action gets stamped
with the actual logged in user who did the delete?
Version 5.0.0a php 5.2.6

Not upgrade safe but you could alter the query if you'd like in data/SugarBean.php:

     function mark_deleted($id)
    {
 
        $date_modified = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');
        if(isset($_SESSION['show_deleted']))
        {
            $this->mark_undeleted($id);
        }
        else
        {
            // call the custom business logic
            $custom_logic_arguments['id'] = $id;
            $this->call_custom_logic("before_delete", $custom_logic_arguments);
                        global $current_user; 
 
            $query = "UPDATE $this->table_name set deleted=1 , date_modified = '$date_modified', modified_user_id = '$current_user->id'' where id='$id'";
            $this->db->query($query, true,"Error marking record deleted: ");
            $this->mark_relationships_deleted($id);
 
            // Take the item off the recently viewed lists
            $tracker = new Tracker();
            $tracker->makeInvisibleForAll($id);
 
            // call the custom business logic
            $this->call_custom_logic("after_delete", $custom_logic_arguments);
        }
    }

Hi guys

Alternatively you can create a custom controller and implement the method action_delete.
Inside this method you can change the modified_user_id.

I modified sugarbean.php as described and that does what I needed...! ! !

I did have to remove the one extra quote mark in your code shown below to get it working:
'$current_user->id' '

Thanks very much for the help...
