I don't know if there's an easier way to do this, but I think I would override the delete method on the parent model to do a custom integrity check before actually trying to delete the record from the database and returning false if it detects there will be constraint problems. You can then add custom handling on your app in case the delete method returns false, for example, redirecting the user somewhere else, setting a flash message, etc.
In case you're wondering, here's the signature for the function you'll need to override (declared in the Doctrine_Record class, which is the base class of your Doctrine-generated models): /** * deletes this data access object and all the related composites * this operation is isolated by a transaction * * this event can be listened by the onPreDelete and onDelete listeners * * @return boolean true if successful */ public function delete(Doctrine_Connection $conn = null) Hope to have helped!
