Utililse the OnBeforeWebLogin event

Hi All,

I’ve noticed that plugins use events and mroe often than not it attached to the onPagePreRender event.

I’m wanting to utilise the onBeforeWebLogin event would I be right in thinking I’d need something like this:



Thanks all.

Yes, this event is generated from the webloginpe/webloginpe snippets where you also get ’username’, ’userpassword’. Its not generated by the ’core’ as such. Also I think the syntax is $e = $modx->event , not Event.

I think you are mistaken; OnBeforeWebLogin is most certainly used by the core WebLogin snippet as well.

Yes sorry, webloginpe repeated twice above, should read weblogin/webloginpe snippets. What I meant by ’core’ here was stuff under the ’manager’ folder, rather than ’assets’. Can you not elect to not install the weblogin snippet at install time?

You can, but the dependent files are still there in the file-system unless you manually exclude them (i.e. assets/snippets/weblogin/*). In Revolution, no components will be distributed with the core to avoid this situation.

Thanks guys.

So weblogin/webloginpe both call the event and I can write a plugin that does something before then final login process. Therefore I’d still need to use either snippet?

I’m wanting to try and build a bit of a plugin to allow phpBB3 and ModX synchronisation I’m hoping that onBeforeWebLogin fires and runs prior to username and password parse so I can sync the two accounts to maintain password continuity.

Would this be the best place to start or should I try and code this from a different event?

OK, this has been attempted by others, have a look here http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=30513.0;wap2, if you searc h the forums for
phpBB3 there are other threads here that may help you with the integration.

Thanks Shamblett,

Thats my starting point I did search and found two threads although I’m trying to think ahead on what I need to look at hence the post.
