deleteAllByAttributes

deleteAllByAttributes(array $attributes,string $condition = '',array $params = array()): integer

inherited

todo	This should also be moved to the behavior at some point. This method overrides the parent in order to raise PluginEvents for Bulk delete operations. Filter Criteria are wrapped into a CDBCriteria instance so we have a single instance responsible for holding the filter criteria to be passed to the PluginEvent, this also enables us to pass the fully configured CDBCriteria instead of the original Parameters. See {@link find()} for detailed explanation about $condition and $params.
