Only showing active records – model wide conditions cakePHP

I know its been a bit of a whole since my last update but have a bit of useful info here:

 function beforeFind(&$queryData)
	{
	    $conditions = $queryData['conditions'];

	    if (!is_array($conditions)) {
	        if (!$conditions) {
	            $conditions = array();
	        } else {
	            $conditions = array($conditions);
	        }
	    }

	    if (!isset($conditions['active']) && !isset($conditions[$this->alias . '.active'])) {
	        $conditions[$this->alias . '.active'] = 1;
	    }

	    $queryData['conditions'] = $conditions;
	    return true;
	}

Put this in the model that you have an ‘active’ field in and it will save you having to add a condition into each find statement to check whether that record is flagged as active / inactive!
