Access user Language in init() / before ready()

[Noel Boss]

Hi Folks

I want to access $user->language inside the init hook because I want to make some access checks;

$this->wire()->addHookAfter('Page::viewable', $this, 'checkAccessHook');

– but I get only the default language:

$user->language->name > default

However, I do have the correct user ID and I would have expected that at least using pages->get I can fetch the correct language via a custom lookup?!

$pages->get('id=$user->id, include=all')->language; 

But nope... still just default. Any ideas?

Alternatively, @ryan if you are listening – I think there is a hook missing to inject access restrictions etc. – somewhere deep down (and early) in the system – that also works for find() operations etc. Most everything is there with PW but this has been a major pain-point for our current project with complicated user access restrictions and configurations. If we could hook into somewhere, that would be amazing. Currently it's really tricky and quickly gets messy when we have user dependecies and with the order if init() and ready() and page::viewable()

@Noel Boss Not sure that it's going to help, but you can play with the priority of your hooks. Language support is also added via hooks in LanguageSupport.module. So make sure your hook is going after.

Thanks @Zeka, I know the priority thing, but in case of init and ready, this is not of much use…
