Hi all,

I would like some assistance with the following problem:

I have a table of groups that is self-associated with itself, so each group is (optionally) linked to another in a hierarchical fashion. I want to write some code that will somehow check before the destruction of a group entry, if it has any children, and ask the user for confirmation, or whether they wish to delete the child groups as well.

I've looked at callbacks, but I don't know how to get the confirmation request to the end user in the view, and then get the response back to the model's callback.

Thanks
