System Events: Is there an event for Duplicating a Document?

    I'm looking at the list for System Events. Is there a way to fire an event when duplicating a document?

    Basically, here's what's going on: Each page is given a unique link_attributes ID when saved (this field is hidden by default so people don't edit it). This is then referenced elsewhere for use with some TVs. But, when I duplicate that page, I get a duplicate link_attributes value which overrides the original when using that in a TV or in the index of my search engine.

    If there is no System Event that I could use to clear the link_attributes field on document duplication, how would I accomplish this?

    Thanks

      The Event is OnResourceDuplicate

      you will also need to handle duplicated children in some way. See this one for an example:
      https://github.com/Bruno17/migxmultilang/blob/master/core/components/migxmultilang/elements/plugins/mml_synctranslations.plugin.php#L77

        you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

        Thanks, so I installed from the Extras menu and then I reused this code:
        <?php
if ($modx->event->name != 'OnDocFormSave') {return false;}
if(($resource->get('template') == 12) || ($resource->get('template') == 28)){
    if(empty($resource->get('link_attributes'))){
        $resource->set('link_attributes', md5($resource->get('id').$resource->get('pagetitle').$resource->get('parent').$resource->get('template')));
        $resource->save();
    }    
}


        Into this code:
        <?php
if ($modx->event->name != 'OnResourceDuplicate') {return false;}

if(($resource->get('template') == 12) || ($resource->get('template') == 28)){
    if(!empty($resource->get('link_attributes'))){
        $resource->set('link_attributes', '');
        $resource->save();
    }
}


        It didn't work...

          did you check the System - Event OnResourceDuplicate for your plugin?

            Sorry, this is the first time I've done anything in plugins for MODX. What does that mean?

              Sorry, I didn't know that tab was event there. LOL

              I did check that but the only thing different now is when I right-click and choose Duplicate, I get the pop-up box to enter new info. But when I click OK, it just hangs there. When I refresh the page, the duplicated page is there but the link_attributes field hasn't been cleared.

                there isn't $resource, there is $oldResource and $newResource
