Hi,

I want to extend User model in RainLab.User plugin to add SoftDeletes trait.

I created plugin and add that code into the plugin boot method:

UserModel::extend(function ($model)
{
    // add soft deletes
}

Is it possible to do this that way?

Hi Renatio,

Maybe this video by Daftspunk might help you out: https://vimeo.com/108040919

This video only shows how to extend plugin for more fields/columns. There is no clue how to add trait to another plugin model. I suppose that is impossible, so I created new plugin. Thanks for help.

Hi Renatio,

Did you manage to create this plugin to add soft deletes?

Hi,

in that time I abandoned that idea.

Now I think that this can be solved by extending User model. Something like this:

User::extend(function ($model) {
    $model->implement[] = SoftDeletesBehavior::class;
}

Than you create behavior SoftDeletesBehavior and just add SoftDeletes trait into it. In plugin migration you will have to add deleted_at column. Here you can read about behaviors: https://octobercms.com/docs/services/behaviors

Another option is to extend User model and create custom model like MyUser, but I think it is more complicated because you will need to also extend Users controller.
