OnDocFormSave
Event: OnDocFormSave
Fires after a Resource is saved in the manager via the editing form.
Service: 1 - Parser Service Events Group: Documents
TVs are best Modified Here If you need to modify TV values, it's best to modify them here and not during OnBeforeDocFormSave.
Unlike OnBeforeDocFormSave, this event does not support the $modx->event->output() method.
Event Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| mode | Either 'new' or 'upd', depending on the circumstances. |
| resource | A reference to the modResource object. |
| id | The ID of the Resource (even for new resources) |
Examples
To do something with the page ID (e.g. to update a related custom table), you can read this out of the $resource object (even if you are creating a new resource):
// Log all available properties of the $resource
$modx->log(MODX_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, print_r($resource->toArray(),true) );
// Get the page id
$page_id = $resource->get('id');
// or simply
$page_id = $id;
if ($mode == 'new') {
// resource created
}
else {
// existing resource was updated
}
Anything you return from this event will be written to the logs, e.g.
return "Help I'm a bug!";
Will result in a log message like the following:
[2012-06-22 13:00:28] (ERROR @ /connectors/resource/index.php) [OnDocFormSave]Help I'm a bug!
Calculating a TV Value
switch ($modx->event->name) {
// Documents
case 'OnDocFormSave':
if ($resource->get('template') == 8) {
if(!$resource->setTVValue('my_tv', 'Some Value')) {
$modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'There was a problem setting the TV value.');
}
}
break;
}
Saving Happens Automatically
No need to run the $resource->save() method as that happens automatically.
