Getting the Event properties

How do i grab the event’s params from a plugin? i notice in the core ’save_user.processor.php’, the following happen for event OnWebChangePassword::

$modx->invokeEvent("OnWebChangePassword", array (
				"userid" => $id,
				"username" => $newusername,
				"userpassword" => $newpassword
			));

I want to get the username and the password that was passed in the event, so far this is what i have but its not working.

$e = &$modx->Event;
switch ($e->name) {
case "OnWebChangePassword":
    sendResetLog($e->parseProperties("useremail"), $e->parseProperties("newusername"), $e->parseProperties("newpassword"), $e->parseProperties("fullname"));
    break;
default :
    return; // stop here - this is very important.
    break;
}

$e->parseProperties()? That is not a method you should be calling manually; if this were true OO, it would be a protected or private method. The properties are extracted into the context of the plugin code, so it would be available like:

sendResetLog($useremail, $newusername, $newpassword, $fullname);

But the only properties available to that event are clearly stated in the call to invokeEvent. The only variables that will be available for you to access are:

$userid
$username
$userpassword

Otherwise, you’ll need to hack the call to invokeEvent, and pass the additional data you want to have access to.

Hi there!

I was in a super rush to come up with the plugin so i was like stabbing in the dark with all the functions...LOL.

Anyway, found out how to get that var during the raised event. To get a particular available vars during the raised events, the code is:

$e = &$modx->Event;
case "OnWebChangePassword":
    sendResetLog( $e->params["username"], $e->params["userpassword"], $e->params["userid"]);
    break;
default :
    return; // stop here - this is very important.
    break;
}

the magic word is:

$modx->Event->params["xxx"]

They are available there also, but, as I explained, they are extract()’d into the plugin code for you as well, and available directly as:

$userid
$username
$userpassword
