User Profile form fires which event? OnUserFormSave? OnUserSave?

I have a plugin that updates a mailing list on Campaign Monitor when a user is created/saved. It listens to the OnUserFormSave event, which works great if the user is updated from under Security > Manage users.

However, if users update their own profile (User > Profile) I can't seem to trigger the plugin. I've tried listening to both OnUserFormSave and OnUserSave, but nothing happens.

Any ideas? Should I listen to to some other event?

It doesn't appear to trigger any events, but it does allow for PostHooks.

postHooks A comma-separated list of 'hooks', or Snippets, that will be executed after the user's profile is updated.

I think you could create a postHook with this code:

/* invoke OnUserFormSave event */
/* I'm guessing at the user settings */
  $user = $scriptProperties['updateprofile.user'];
  $userId = $user->get('id');

$modx->invokeEvent('OnUserFormSave',array(
    'mode' => modSystemEvent::MODE_UPD
    'user' => $user,
    'id' => $userId,
));

Hi,

I don't quite follow. BobRay, I assume your code triggers the OnUserFormSave event and passes along the correct variables? But how is this postHook triggered in the first place, i.e. how do I execute the code/snippet?

I assumed that you were using the UpdateProfile snippet. If so, you should be able to specify your snippet in the &postHooks property. If the user is updating their Profile in the Manager, OnUserFormSave should definitely be firing already. If not, it would be a bug.

Nope, I'm in the manager. And I have this plugin listening to OnUserFormSave:

<?php
require_once $modx->getOption('base_path') . 'assets/components/csapi/csrest_subscribers.php';

$profile = $user->getOne('Profile');
$wrap = new CS_REST_Subscribers('XXX', 'XXX');
$result = $wrap->add(array(
    'EmailAddress' => $profile->get('email'),
    'Name' => $user->get('fullname'),
    'Resubscribe' => false
));

if(!$result->was_successful()) {
    echo 'Failed with code '.$result->http_status_code."\n
<pre>";
    var_dump($result->response);
    echo '</pre>';
}

If I update a user through menu Security > Manage Users it works just fine. And if I update myself through User > Profile nothing at all happens. I'm on MODx 2.2.5. [ed. note: mrtnrsl last edited this post 11 years, 6 months ago.]

Ah, I forgot that menu existed. I looked at the code, and it saves just the profile without saving the user object or firing any events.

I would put in a feature request for an OnSaveUserProfile event or the equivalent.

If you feel daring, you could create such an event and put code to invoke it in the profile update processor.
