Connecting new events

Introduction

Connecting instance level events is achieved through the method "events->connect" while connecting static events is achieved through the static method "PorteEvents::connect".

Connecting an instance level event

Depending on wether the registered listener is a function or a method, the "connect" method accept two sets of arguments.

Registering a listener function:


function beforeOnCreateListener(){
  print 'Method call';
}

$user = new User();
$user->events->connect(
  'record_create_before',
  'beforeOnCreateListener'
);
$user->save();

Registering a listener method:


class Listener{
  function beforeOnCreateListener(){
    print 'Method call';
  }
}

$listener = new Listener();
$user = new User();
$user->events->connect(
  'record_create_before',
  array($listener,'beforeOnCreateListener')
);
$user->save();

Complete list of ways to connect events

Connecting an instance event:


$user->events->connect('action',array(object,'method'));

Connecting a global event:


PorteEvents::connect('action','function');
PorteEvents::connect('action',array($object,'method'));
PorteEvents::connect('action',array('Class','method'));

Connecting a records event:


PorteRecord::connect('record_type','action','function');
PorteRecord::connect('record_type','action',array($object,'method'));
