How to get resource information in a plugin when changing template on a new resource?

When I create a new resource I can get the ID, template or parent etc. in a plugin like this:



But when I create a new resource and without saving change the template (and confirm the popup), I loose this information. The above code is not working anymore. Is there a way to get it after the template has changed? I can't get it from the URL, which changes to something like this:

http://www.mywebsite.nl/manager/index.php?a=55&reload=53d7b3ad338e03.7743454350&class_key=modDocument&context_key=web

Thanks for any help!

That's because there is no resource until you save it.

Yeah, sounds logical. But isn't there any way to get the info? Like POST data or something?

To explain what I'm trying to do: I use the SEOPro addon but for certain resources I don't want it. Because this is not implemented yet I changed the plugin myself to not fire the plugin code on certain documents. I use this code for now (I know it's ugly):



So I don't want the plugin to act on Resource 10 and it's children, and also not on resources with template 5 or 7. This works when I first create a new document, because the parent is in the URL. But when I change the template on the new resource the URL changes and there is no way to get the information anymore (and the SEOPro widget is there again).

Maybe you need to use a different event, to do it after the resource is saved?

that would be better, however the SEOPro plugin uses the OnDocFormRender event so I have to intervene at that event. But it's not a really big problem, it would just be nicer if the SEOPro stuff wouldn't be visible at all for those specific resources. For now it works ok because as soon as the new resource is saved they do disappear. Thanks for your help!

It might be slightly more elegant to reverse your conditions and just "return '';"; if they're met rather than wrapping the whole plugin in curly braces.

One issue on the SEOPro stuff is whether MODX calls OnDocFormRender again after the template changes (or calls a processor that invokes it). If not, the plugin code will always execute before the template is changed.

Thanks Bob, good advice, I'll change that.

It looks like onDocFormRender doesn't get called again after the template changes, because my code to exclude resources isn't executed at that time (but the SEOPro code is executed... strange). But I'm not sure I'm understanding it correct, I'll have a better look at it when I get the chance.
