Hi,

If you take a look in inc/misc/_plugins.class.php you can find a list of all of the hooks available to plugins. These are the ones available in 1.8.5

	/**
	 * Get the list of supported/available events/hooks.
	 *
	 * Additional to the returned event methods (which can be disabled), there are internal
	 * ones which just get called on the plugin (and get not remembered in T_pluginevents), e.g.:
	 *  - AfterInstall
	 *  - AppendPluginRegister
	 *  - BeforeEnable
	 *  - BeforeDisable
	 *  - BeforeInstall
	 *  - BeforeUninstall
	 *  - BeforeUninstallPayload
	 *  - GetDefaultSettings
	 *  - GetDefaultUserSettings
	 *  - GetHtsrvMethods
	 *  - PluginSettingsUpdateAction (Called as action before updating the plugin's settings)
	 *  - PluginSettingsEditAction (Called as action before editing the plugin's settings)
	 *  - PluginSettingsEditDisplayAfter (Called after standard plugin settings are displayed for editing)
	 *  - PluginSettingsValidateSet (Called before setting a plugin's setting in the backoffice)
	 *  - PluginUserSettingsUpdateAction (Called as action before updating the plugin's user settings)
	 *  - PluginUserSettingsEditAction (Called as action before editing the plugin's settings)
	 *  - PluginUserSettingsEditDisplayAfter (Called after displaying normal user settings)
	 *  - PluginUserSettingsValidateSet (Called before setting a plugin's user setting in the backoffice)
	 *  - PluginVersionChanged (Called when we detect a version change)
	 *
	 *  The max length of event names is 40 chars (T_pluginevents.pevt_event).
	 *
	 * @todo Finish/Complete descriptions
	 *
	 * @return array Name of event (key) => description (value)

The one's you'll "probably" want to look into are these two :-

                'AdminBeforeItemEditCreate' => 'This gets called before a new item gets created.',
                'AdminBeforeItemEditUpdate' => 'This gets called before an existing item gets updated.',

Hello,
i'm very new in b2e, and i already develop 2 plugins for myself for the public part...

Are you planning on sharing these plugins with everyone else?

Do you want an rss plugin? I'm sure I've got a mostly finished one lying around somewhere?

¥åßßå, is right about the events.

You'll find more documentation at http://doc.b2evolution.net/v-1-8/plugins/Plugin.html

(please don't hijack this thread :p)

Thanks guys, this eve i am going to try to see if works :)
For the request to public my plugins... well, i need to clean them up first, if you look at them now, they work, but they are so ugly and messy :) when i done with this new plugin, i will clean the others up and then i may release them (if the customer who is paying me for make them will agree) :)

i've a problem...
the 2 functions are called BEFORE the update/insert...
and it's fine for the update, but for the insert, my plugin is supposed to insert in another table some extra data, but in this case i can't because after i will not be able to know how to connect the 2 records...

for example, i do the insert of a new post, but how will i be able to know the post_id in the BEFORE function for insert my data in the secondary "extention" table?

Try :-

                'AfterItemInsert' => '',
                'AfterItemUpdate' => '',

this is weird :)
i create the toolbar (and i can see it in the write/edit).
the issue seems that the functions "AfterItemUpdate"/"AdminBeforeItemEditUpdate" and the create ones as well, are never called... :(

should i set some special configuration in the plugin for run these? in the plugin properties the functions are enabled to be run, the render is "never".

EDIT: fixed... seems to be a problem with some other functions :) tooked away the AdminEndHtmlHead, and now it start working :)

AlexMagik, if you've added the methods into your plugin, you have to reload the plugins (see the link below the list of installed plugins), so that b2evo knows that the plugin hooks the new events.
As an alternative (or in case of releasing a plugin with added hooks), bump the version of the plugin - this will also reload the events.

thank you guys,
the plugin is working using the AfterItemUpdate/AfterItemCreate/AfterItemDelete

a bit of tuning on my code and will be done :)

Thank you very much :)
