OnDocFormSave

Event: OnDocFormSave¶

Fires after a Resource is saved in the Manager through the Resource\Create and Resource\Update processors. Also fires when a deleted Resource is edited inline in the trash grid (Resource\UpdateFromGrid).

• Service: 1 - Parser Service Events
• Group: Resources

Change TVs here. To change TV values, do it here, not in OnBeforeDocFormSave. Unlike that event, this one does not support $modx->event->output().

Saving happens automatically. You do not need to call $resource->save().

Anything you return from this event is written to the error log.

Event Parameters¶

Examples¶

Read the Resource ID¶

// Log all available properties of the $resource
$modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, print_r($resource->toArray(),true) );
// Get the page id
$page_id = $resource->get('id');
// or simply
$page_id = $id;

if ($mode == 'new') {
    // resource created
}
else {
   // existing resource was updated
}

Set a TV value¶

<?php
$eventName = $modx->event->name;
switch($eventName) {
    case 'OnDocFormSave':
        //if the resource has a template=5
        if ($resource->get('template') == 5) {
            // after saving the TV value price=128
            if(!$resource->setTVValue('price', '128')) {
                $modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'Having problems setting the TV value.');
            }
        }
        break;
}

Whether the price TV was filled in before saving does not matter: the plugin writes 128.
