Thanks

Wendy, this is not an API function, but a core internal function for triggering core events, to which Plugins can be attached for custom processing when the event is invoked.

You could hack this to create new custom events, but you’d have to add the event to the database by hand, and then call invokeEvent() where you intended to trigger plugins from within your custom code.

Future plans for this event model are being researched and discussed, but I at least intend to find a way to allow user-defined events at some point, either in Tattoo, or both MODx and Tattoo.

That’s so cool.

Allrighty then, I’ll just have to wait for the future.

Regards,

That funciton is listed in the API reference on the site (http://modxcms.com/invokeevent.html). It might be a good idea to remove it if it is not a public API.
