How to access template variables on OnDocFormSave event ?

I want to manipulate a template variable before save.
How can I access it ? (I think it should be in $scriptProperties, but I don’t know how to retrieve it)

Thanks

hi,

the simple way to manipulate things on MODx events is to write your code in a plugin and then, set your plugin config to run on the event(s) you need it to

thanks for the answer
maybe I’m not asking it clear enough.
I already wrote it as a plugin and tab on that OnDocFormSave event.
I can access stuffs like $scriptProperties[’id’]
but,I don’t know about how to access template variables

Hi,

well, if in Evo, depending on what you want to do, you can access tv or tv output with MODx api $modx->getTemplateVar or $modx->getTemplateVarOutput
in Revo, sorry, i don’t know, you’ll have to wait for a Revo guy to read this or dive into Revo Api

The TVs are not in the $scriptProperties array. You need to get them from the DB.

In Revo, the fastest way will be:



If you need to alter the TV in the DB, however, it gets a little more complicated.
