$pages->saved() method

Hook called after a page is successfully saved

This is the same as hooking after Pages::save, except that it occurs before other save-related hooks. Whereas Pages::save hooks occur after. In most cases, the distinction does not matter.

Usage

// basic usage
$pages->saved(Page $page);

// usage with all arguments
$pages->saved(Page $page, array $changes = [], array $values = []);

Arguments

NameType(s)Description
pagePage

The page that was saved

changes (optional)array

Array of field names that changed

values (optional)array

Array of values that changed, if values were being recorded, see Wire::getChanges(true) for details.


Hooking $pages->saved(…)

You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the $pages->saved(…) method is executed. Examples of both are included below. A good place for hook code such as this is in your /site/ready.php file.

Hooking before

The 'before' hooks are called immediately before each $pages->saved(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.

$this->addHookBefore('Pages::saved', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $pages = $event->object;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (and optionally modify them)
  $page = $event->arguments(0);
  $changes = $event->arguments(1);
  $values = $event->arguments(2);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */

  // Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
  $event->arguments(0, $page);
  $event->arguments(1, $changes);
  $event->arguments(2, $values);
});

Hooking after

The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each $pages->saved(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.

$this->addHookAfter('Pages::saved', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $pages = $event->object;

  // An 'after' hook can retrieve and/or modify the return value
  $return = $event->return;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (if needed)
  $page = $event->arguments(0);
  $changes = $event->arguments(1);
  $values = $event->arguments(2);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying the return value */

  // Populate back return value, if you have modified it
  $event->return = $return;
});
