I've:

create or replace function FT1IDX_catalog_brands_update() returns
trigger as $$
begin
if(TG_OP='DELETE') then update catalog_items set   FT1IDX=GetFTIDX('pg_catalog.english', Code, CodeAlt, ISBN, Name,
Authors,'')     where BrandID=old.BrandID;
 
else if(coalesce(new.Name,'')<>coalesce(old.Name,'')) then   update catalog_items set
FT1IDX=GetFTIDX('pg_catalog.english',Code, CodeAlt, ISBN,       Name, Authors, new.Name)        where
BrandID=new.BrandID;end if;
 
end if;
return new;
end $$ language plpgsql volatile;

create trigger FT1IDX_catalog_brands_update_trigger before update or
delete on catalog_brands for each row execute procedure
FT1IDX_catalog_brands_update();

I do something
update catalog_brands set name='zzz' where brandid=1234;
1 row get updated.

When I do
delete from catalog_brands where brandid=1234;
no row get deleted and no error get reported.

what did I miss?

thanks

umpfs...
on delete new is null... so no action take place.
modified to return old on delete and new for the rest.
Sorry for the noise.

"delete" trigger should return "old".
In your code you return "new" for both: "update" and "delete"
