Page Type Events

Permalink
I am trying to extend the on_page_delete event but it doesn't seem to work.

I have setup the config files as instructed in the documentation and have a page type controller in controllers/page_types named
NewsItemPageTypeController.but when i delete a page the method in my controller is not getting called.

First test to make sure your controller is called at all.


public function view() {
  echo "view function called";
}


If that's not getting called, then you probably have your controller or the controller file named incorrectly.

Based on your class name, I'd expect your file to be:
/controllers/page_types/news_item.php

And for that class to extend Controller

For testing the delete function you could do:
public function on_page_delete($c) {
  Log::addEntry($c->getCollectionName()." deleted");
}

Thanks for the quick reply Ryan, The controller was being called.

The problem is that the on_page_delete function is not being called when deleting pages from the Sitemap window only when deleting from the move /delete window.

Any ideas why the event is not being fired when deleting from the sitemap window?

I have looked through the code and both unless im mistaken are calling the Page->delete method which fires the on_page_delete event ?
