Logic Hook Question

[swhitlow]

I am calling a save function from a logic hook I have called from a Meetings object. My question is - won't it recursively call my logic hook over again once I call the save function? Here is an example of what I am doing:

1. In the meetings I have a logic hook for the "before_save"
2. In my logic hook I am creating a new instance of the meeting object. WIth this object I am saving a new record.
3. Obviously, once this saves it will call my logic hook again and go through the same cycle.

How can I avoid this? I need to use the Meetings object or resort to just doing a manual sql insert which would be the sloppy way of doing it.

Any suggestions?

Hello Scott,

I haven't tried this before (my logic hooks have always triggered other events, rather than editing the object), so I'm not sure any recursive logic will occur.

If it does, I suggest adding a flag to the Meetings class-- $first_save, or $call_logic_hooks, etc. You can modify this flag in your logic hook and disable it from running again.
