System Events¶

OnDiscussRenderThread¶

All currently set placeholders are available through the $placeholders array. The return value or $modx->event->output() value is expected to be an array of placeholders to override. Using a plugin on this event is the only way to put a value in the top, bottom, aboveThread and belowThread placeholders.
