hi
I want to check dependency from other table entry of an module before deleting its entry ..
so if their is no entry for this module exists it allow it to delete else cant be deleted

i have done following things :
model name : Jobs_model

config->hooks.php

$hook['before_delete_jobs'] = array(
'class' => 'job_hooks',
'function' => 'before_delete_jobs',
'filename' => 'Job_hooks.php',
'filepath' => 'hooks',
'params' => array(),
'module' => 'job');
hooks -> Job_hooks.php

class Job_hooks extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct(); // table name
}
function before_delete_jobs($where)
{
print_r($where); return FALSE;die(); //just to prevent from getting deleted implement the thing later
}

}
but the function did not executing or if executed have no effect
is their any mistake ??? or have other simple way please check

The "module" parameter in the hook is actually referencing an advanced module folder name (which is a little confusing). Do you have an advanced module in the "fuel/modules/job" folder? If not and it's in your fuel/application folder, remove the "module" parameter on the hook or change it to "app" and see if that fixes your issue.

i have removed the module parameter those it is still not working ...
instead on my Jobs_model
"on_before_delete" function is working
public function on_before_delete($values)
{
print_r($values);
//die();
return FALSE;
}
but if i remove the die statement it is still removing the entry .. is their a way to stop it
instead of redirecting it .

What is the path to the Job_hooks.php file? Also, the Job_hooks.php file shouldn't be on a controller but exist in it's own class file similar to the fuel/modules/fuel/hooks/Fuel_hooks.php file which is based on the native CI hooks:

that is in application->hooks folder

What does your class look like now to execute the fuel/application/hooks/Jobs_hooks::before_delete_jobs method? Also, is your fuel/application/config/hooks.php configuration set to the following and you have a module of "jobs" set in your fuel/application/config/MY_fuel_modules.php:
$hook['before_delete_jobs'] = array( 'class' => 'Job_hooks', 'function' => 'before_delete_jobs', 'filename' => 'Job_hooks.php', 'filepath' => 'hooks', 'params' => array() );
