[solved]Hooks: changing url in before hook

[benbyf]

Really confused about how hooks work. I'm trying to use $wire->addHookBefore("Pages::published", function(HookEvent $event) { ... } to get and change the page url before it is published how not found any way of passing the changed back. E.g.

 

$page = $event->arguments(0);
$page->name = "somename";
// now what to save the data??

my understanding is I can't use $event->return on a before hook, so how do i propergate the change? Or should I be hooking onto a function that happens before the published function is called?

I poked around in the github and found a better function to hook too and actually read the comments which helped alot. now using publishReady() instead https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/924f93214536a506babbce1bab5c6c9e2093fc1e/wire/core/Pages.php#L2522
