jrGallery db_update_item listener

I need to check a custom model for a reference to a gallery whenever a jrGallery title is changed, then update that custom item with the new gallery title.

jrGallery uses jrCore_db_update_multiple_items so the best trigger I can see is db_update_item, but that will run for each image in a gallery.

Is there a better listener to use?

Thanks!

That will update every image in that gallery. The 'gallery_title' and the 'gallery_title_url' will be updated.

What I think you're trying to avoid is having your custom modules check function fire too many times. If thats the case, what about setting a flag when the first one runs, then check if that flag has been set before running the second time.

similar to this (screenshot)

Yes, that's what I'm trying too avoid, but it's many separate db_update_item triggers - from a db_update_item listener I'm not sure how to unset the flag after the last image has been updated. There's no way of telling if it's the last iteration. Also no way of passing the old gallery title (which I would have to get from the db on the first item) between iterations, so I would be getting from and then writing to the database for each image.

Here is a listener with an fdebug to the log:

function ujHotspots_db_update_item_listener($_data, $_user, $_conf, $_args, $event)
{
    if (isset($_args['module']) && $_args['module'] == 'jrGallery') {
fdebug("ujHotspots_db_update_item_listener",$_data,$_args, $event);
    }
    return $_data;
}

And here is the output ($_data,$_args, $event) for a 2 image gallery:

I guess it's a separate listener, but I'm also going to need to update my module's datastore when the last gallery image is deleted. Just mentioning that here to remind myself later

so you want that to only fire ONCE or once for each separate (something)?

function ujHotspots_db_update_item_listener($_data, $_user, $_conf, $_args, $event)
{
    if (isset($_args['module']) && $_args['module'] == 'jrGallery' && !jrCore_get_flag('ujHotspots_already_done')) {
fdebug("ujHotspots_db_update_item_listener",$_data,$_args, $event);
 jrCore_set_flag('ujHotspots_already_done', 1);
    }
    return $_data;
}

Ideally once. My hotspots module references the gallery using the gallery title. When the title changes I need to update the reference in the Hotspots datastore. And delete it if that gallery no longer exists.

For your code suggestion there where would I set the flag to off?

So putting flags in the code (as above) should do the trick.

--edit--
A flag will only last for this round of processing, as soon as the next round starts (a page refresh, another url call) the flag will be gone.

Ah OK, I hadn't realised that!

I will give it a try.

Thanks Michael

Yes, that's going to work perfectly.

Thanks Man, much appreciated
