[evo] OnWebChangePassword not being triggered

Hi people,
I’ve developed an small plugin that should be triggered when a web change its password ( OnWebChangePassword ). The problem is my plugin is not being triggered when a web user change its password ( nor from the manager nor from WebChangePwd snippet ). I have other plugins developed with other events such as OnWebSaveUser that works fine, but not this one...
I SMFConnect, I’ve testet disabling its OnWebChangePassword, but the problem persists.

To make a test, I use only:



With this code, an error should be shown, another should be logged, and then a blank page should be shown ( exit; ). But nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help

EDIT: I’ve used the "test code plugin" for login and logout events and it works fine, but not for OnWebChangePassword event

I’ve tested it on some Evo versions ( 1.0.1 - 1.0.4 ) and I have allways the same result: nothing for the event OnWebChangePassword. Other events such as
OnWebSaveUser, OnWebLogout, OnWebLogin works fine, but not this one. Could it be a MODx bug? I’m doing something wrong? I’m using now a simple "test plugin":

That is interesting. Just tested in the Manager, and indeed the OnWebChangePassword is not being invoked. Now the big question is, why not?

In the database there is a space following the name ’OnWebChangePassword ’ in the name field of system_eventnames. So when the invokeEvent function checks for the existence of the event ’OnWebChangePassword’ (no trailing space) it doesn’t find it and returns false.

It is strange because the event is invoked using invokeEvent function. Unfortunately I can take a deeper look at the problem because i’m on holidays now and I have no computer nor internet access ( now on the mobile ). But I have another "big" question. How is posible nobody reported it before?!?! There are plugins that uses this event, for example smf bridge, wich has a function to sync password between modx and smf when it is changed in modx. Recently I asked about why password sync was not working and a user told me there was no solution... But the work was done, the code is written! ( I thought the problem was it was not implemented ) the problem was this bug.

A stupid typo in the database.

Nice spot Susan
Not easy to see a trailing space.
Are you’re going to JIRA it?

Yeah, I was just thinking I should do that. As soon as I recover; that was a rather intensive couple of hours of step-by-step troubleshooting trying to figure out why that one wasn’t working. I ended up looking at a print_r of the list of known events and the plugins associated with them, thinking about the Jewish joke of "Why is this knight not like every other knight?", when I spotted that stupid space.

I was looking in the file system, trying to follow the invokeEvent trail, never thought to check the DB

Actually, I tracked it to the second check in invokeEvent(); I checked the database almost the first thing and didn’t notice the space then.

so I inserted

and there, in all its glory, was the OnWebChangePassword event with the plugin I’d created, testEvent! Yet if I became specific and tried
print_r($this->pluginEvent[’OnWebChangePassword’] I got nothing. So I stared at the full pluginEvent display for a while, thinking spelling? typo? I even enlarged the font to see it all better. Then I noticed the space, and the rest was obvious.

Oh! Fucking space! I was checking the code these days but it’s harder for me because I don’t know the core so well. I took a look to document parses class and the change password and invokeEvents functions but didnt noticed something... I was suposing that could be something related to database, but this "hell" because a whitespace... Congratulations for the work people! It’s great to see the best devel team working together MODx forever!
