on_after_save event

Does anybody have an example of a plugin with on_after_save event etc. I need to modify the code for my plugin, but I would love not to have to hack it !

Hello,
Just locate a Joomla plugin similar to yours, in the docs you can find links with examples to the code. You can copy the plugin directory structure, rename it and change its xml configuration parameters. Then go to your backend, extensions, discover and install it. Now you have your own plugin and you can do as many changes you want.

Hope it helps.

Hi Juan,

I get this, the bigger problem I have is how do I make it an on_after_save event on one of my components I created here... how will my plugin know about the component etc ?

Hope it helps: docs.joomla.org/Triggering_content_plugins_in_your_extension

It would help to know the Component Builder function names..

In another plugin I built for RS forms, the save event was ..

public function rsfp_f_onAfterStoreSubmissions($args) {

}

what would the Component Builder call name be (assuming it would be based on the component form name somehow ?

This code comes from the CB administrator > models > modelname.php

// Trigger the before save event.
$result = $dispatcher->trigger($this->event_before_save, array($context, &$table, true));

..............

// Trigger the after save event.
$dispatcher->trigger($this->event_after_save, array($context, &$table, true));

Maybe somebody who knows how to work out the function name from that code - if indeed it does what you want - which is to hook a call in after the save process..

maybe you are lookong the postSaveHook function
It's called after save an element.
