Login Register Pre/Post Hook wont work...

I am attempting to set the values of some TVs via a post or pre hook on a login register call - but i get server error page when it processes the snippet... Can anyone tell me why this is not working?

// get values from qualification, project and account forms

$qualificiation_areyou = $hook->getValue('qualificiation_areyou');
$qualificiation_emailaddress = $hook->getValue('qualificiation_emailaddress');


// set TVs to values as per form data

$projectFolderID = 19;
$doc = $modx->getObject('modDocument',$projectFolderID);

$doc->setTVValue(32, $qualificiation_areyou);
$doc->setTVValue(33, $qualificiation_emailaddress);


return true;

So, I am getting the form field values of fields "qualificiation_areyou" and "qualificiation_emailaddress" in the snippet, then defining the modx resource I want to set the TVs on - e.g. id=19, then setting the TVs (e.g. 32 and 33) to the values of the form fields "qualificiation_areyou" and "qualificiation_emailaddress" respectively...

Why is this not working??

It might work with $doc->save() at the end.

Another (faster) way to go, assuming that you can use the raw values of the TVs, is to set the values directly. There's no need to get the resource object itself unless you need it for something else:

$qualificiation_areyou = $hook->getValue('qualificiation_areyou');
$qualificiation_emailaddress = $hook->getValue('qualificiation_emailaddress');
 
 
// set TVs to values as per form data
 $projectFolderID = 19;
$tvr = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVarResource', (array('contentid' => $projectFolderID, 'tmplvarid' => 32)));
$tvr->set('value', $qualificiation_areyou);
$tvr->save();

$tvr = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVarResource', (array('contentid' => $projectFolderID, 'tmplvarid' => 33)));
$tvr->set('value', $qualificiation_emailaddress);
$tvr->save();

return true;

Thanks Bob - but I still get an error page when I hit the submit button and the snippet processes... can the login register code not allow setting of TVs??

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't as long as you use a postHook and return true.

Did you try the code in the message above?

Yep... Its very odd... I have a 2nd postHook running - could they interfere with each other perhaps? The other is sending some emails once the form is submitted.. better to combine into 1 snippet perhaps?

Is there a way to debug snippet errors?

Not the other snippet messing up this one, as tested without the other one being called and still errors...

Are you sure the getValue() calls are getting the correct values?

Yep - but to eliminate that as a potential issue - I can remove them from the code, and then also hard code the new TV Value as below... this should work yeh?

$qualificiation_areyou = 'Monkey';
$qualificiation_emailaddress = 'Chicken';
  
  
// set TVs to values as per form data
$projectFolderID = 19;
$tvr = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVarResource', (array('contentid' => $projectFolderID, 'tmplvarid' => 32)));
$tvr->set('value', $qualificiation_areyou);
$tvr->save();
 
$tvr = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVarResource', (array('contentid' => $projectFolderID, 'tmplvarid' => 33)));
$tvr->set('value', $qualificiation_emailaddress);
$tvr->save();
 
return true;

RE: above - still get a blank white screen after submit... something not working...

It's very odd as on a Formit form, in the same site, I have the same thing working just fine...

Would it work better as a plugin maybe? No idea how to do that... just trying to solve this one!!!
