getInsertId() -> OnDocFormSave

Hey folks

i’m sitting here testing over some first plugin code i wrote and i have to save some stuff which doesn’t gives me a problem on existing documents

on new documents i’m trying to extract the last insertId() with the given modx api function on the event "OnDocFormSave" but everything i get returned is 0, each time i create a new document and save it.

So, i still can’t figure out why getInsertId() isn’t working on "OnDocFormSave" event

i’m using this sql -> SELECT MAX(id)+1 AS id FROM to determine the next auto-increment for a new document which will be saved, it does the job but i don’t know how this will work under stress situations, means 2 or 3 editors creating new documents

Did you managed to do it. I’m looking for a similar solution

Hey Cipa,

yes i found out how it works, simply pass $id on your object instance, which will return the next correct highest Key within plugins, when using "OnDocFormSave".

For example:

include_once(’some_class.php’);

new some_class($modx, $id);

$id will then deliver the next highest Key when firing "OnDocFormSave".

Thanks

I discovered another one: $e->params[’id’]
