FormBuilderProcessor::savePage() method

Save the form entry to a Page

  • If saving an existing page, the ID of that page will be in $data['_savePage']
  • If $status omitted or null, it is determined automatically from form settings (most common call).
  • If $onlyFields is an array, only the field names specified will be saved.

Usage

// basic usage
$page = $processor->savePage(array $data);

// usage with all arguments
$page = $processor->savePage(array $data, int $status = null, $onlyFields = null);

$onlyFields (optional)array null

Hooking $processor→savePage(…)

You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the $processor->savePage(…) method is executed. Examples of both are included below. A good place for hook code such as this is in your /site/ready.php file.

Hooking before

The 'before' hooks are called immediately before each $processor->savePage(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.

$this->addHookBefore('FormBuilderProcessor::savePage', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $FormBuilderProcessor = $event->object;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (and optionally modify them)
  $data = $event->arguments(0);
  $status = $event->arguments(1);
  $onlyFields = $event->arguments(2);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */

  // Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
  $event->arguments(0, $data);
  $event->arguments(1, $status);
  $event->arguments(2, $onlyFields);
});

Hooking after

The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each $processor->savePage(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.

$this->addHookAfter('FormBuilderProcessor::savePage', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $FormBuilderProcessor = $event->object;

  // An 'after' hook can retrieve and/or modify the return value
  $return = $event->return;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (if needed)
  $data = $event->arguments(0);
  $status = $event->arguments(1);
  $onlyFields = $event->arguments(2);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying the return value */

  // Populate back return value, if you have modified it
  $event->return = $return;
});
