Weird behaviour?

Hello guys,

I’m using Login in Revo.
I’ve been trying to hook a plugin to the OnWebLogin event to sync a custom user table with modx user data.
The weird part is when I check $modx->getLoginUserId() and $modx->getLoinUserName, the values are the expected,
but when I try accessing the data from $modx->user two things can happen:

1- If I’m logged in the manager I get the managerUser info currently logged in;
2- If I’m not logged (in the manager) I get errors trying to access the values ($modx->user doesn’t get set apparently, haven’t checked yet)

a - What am I doing wrong? / How can I get the currently logging-in user data?
b - Is this the right event to hook this plugin?
c - what are the objects available at this "early" stage?

One suggestion: It would be awesome to have a bit more documentation on the Login snippet events.

Thanks.
Diego

After a lot of tinkering... I opted for the easy way out: (all in the plugin hooked to OnWebLogin)

$curUser = $modx->getObject($modx->getLoginUserId());

Somehow on the frontend at this stage (WebLogin) $curUser is not equal to $modx->user.
I thought these objects would have the same content.

If someone can explain this I would appreciate.

Thanks.

I know this is an old thread, but I was having problems doing this too so hopefully this is useful for someone.

I couldn’t get the easy way out solution above to work for me, so here’s what I put in my plugin hooked to OnWebLogin:

$username = $modx->db->escape($_POST['username']);
$user = $modx->getObject('modUser', array('username' => $username));
$userId = $user->get('id');
