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 = $formBuilderProcessor->savePage(array $data);
// usage with all arguments
$page = $formBuilderProcessor->savePage(array $data, int $status = null, $onlyFields = null);
Arguments
Name | Type(s) | Description |
---|---|---|
data | array | Form data to send to page |
status (optional) | int | Status of created pages |
onlyFields (optional) | array, null | Save field names present in this array. If omitted, save all field names. Names are form field names. |
Return value
Hooking FormBuilderProcessor::savePage(…)
You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the Form
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 Form
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 Form
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;
});
