Detailed Description

Global event handler.

The event handler delegates application events (not gui events) between components that trigger events and components that listen to events. A component is a module or a service.

The component that triggers an event calls the raise function of the event handler through the global instance ilAppEventHandler:

E.g. in ilObjUser->delete(): $ilAppEventHandler->raise("components/ILIAS/User", "deleteUser", array("id" => ..., ...))

A listener has to subscribe to the events of another component. This currently is done here in the constructor, e.g. if the News service listens to the User service, add a $this->listener["components/ILIAS/User"] = array("components/ILIAS/News"); This information will go to xml files in the future.

A component has to implement a listener class that implements Services/EventHandling/interfaces/interface.ilAppEventListener.php

The location must be <component>/classes/class.il<comp_name>AppEventListener.php, e.g. ./components/ILIAS/News/classes/class.ilNewsAppEventListener.php

The class name must be il<comp_name>AppEventListener.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ raise()

ilAppEventHandler::raise	(	string	$a_component,
		string	$a_event,
		array	$a_parameter = `[]`
	)

Raise an event.

The event is passed to all interested listeners.

Parameters

string	$a_component	component, e.g. "components/ILIAS/Forum" or "components/ILIAS/User"
string	$a_event	event e.g. "createUser", "updateUser", "deleteUser", ...
array	$a_parameter	parameter array (assoc), array("name" => ..., "phone_office" => ...)
