Users hook not firing

[DrQuincy]

I have a default front-end user field call approved that is a true|false switch. I want to redirect them to a URL is not yet manually approved. I have this hook in $config->prependTemplateFile file.

wire()->addHookBefore('Users::login', function($event) {

    $user = $event->arguments[0];

	$user->of(true);

    if($user->approved === false) {

		// Prevent login
        $event->return = false; 

		wire('session')->redirect('/account/?approved=0');

    }
	
});

But it does not fire. Do I have the hook wrong or is it in the wrong place? The file itself is definitely being included and if I replace the contents of the hook to a simple exit statement, still nothing happens.

EDIT: I am using LoginRegisterPro, are the hooks different?

Ever wondered when certain hooks get executed? Which hooks got fired along the request? Or need to debug why your hook does not fire as expected?

That's great, thanks, I'm definitely going to try that. 🙂

I do want to know why the User hooks aren't firing but in case anyone is using LRP and wondering the same, I have made what I need to do work with the following hooks:

1. LoginRegisterPro::createdUser: use this to send an admin email to let the site owner know that a new user has registered
2. LoginRegisterProLogin::success: used to set approved=0 on $user

@bernhard Thanks for your massively helpful debug code. I can see now that the Users::* hooks apply to managing users in the back-end so it was never going to work with LRP — the LRP-specific ones are what I needed.
