PagefilesManager::save() method

For hooks to listen to on page save action, for file-specific operations

Executed before a page draft/published assets are moved around, when changes to files may be best to execute.

There are no arguments or return values here. Hooks may retrieve the Page object being saved from $event->object->page.

Usage

$pagefilesManager->save();

Hooking PagefilesManager::save()

You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the PagefilesManager::save() 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 PagefilesManager::save() method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.

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

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */

  // Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
});

Hooking after

The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each PagefilesManager::save() method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.

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

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

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

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

“We were really happy to build our new portfolio website on ProcessWire! We wanted something that gave us plenty of control on the back-end, without any bloat on the front end - just a nice, easy to access API for all our content that left us free to design and build however we liked.” —Castus, web design agency in Sheffield, UK
