Looking for "on entry update" hook

There is no separate update function.

New entries as well as updates are both handled by the function submit_new_entry() in cp.publish.php and the hook you are looking for will probably be “submit_new_entry_start” or “submit_new_entry_end”.

Whether it is an update you are dealing with you’ll have to figure out yourself.

Thanks!

I was under the impression that that only got called on new entries. (Somewhat misleading name.)

I have no problem figuring out if it’s a new entry or not.

If it is a new entry the $data-array contains the key-/value-pair ‘entry_id’ => ”. If it is an update that key is missing.

So if you take the ‘submit_new_entry_end’ hook something like this should point you into the right direction:

if ( array_key_exists("entry_id", $data) ) 
{
  //It's a new entry
} 
else 
{
  //It's an update
}

There really ought to be a hook for notifications upon update.

We’re working on a law firm site (for my law firm), and would like to have the ability to allow site visitors to request a notification if a certain article changes.

“submit_new_entry_end” should do the trick, as silenz has pointed out.

I finally got around to releasing this extension today:

Thanks for your help, silenz!

Hmm, this is an ancient thread but I have a question. If the entry_id key is not present in an update, how do we know which records to update in the db? I’m sure it’s a stupid question, but I don’t get it… 😕

$edata = $EXT->call_extension('submit_new_entry_end', $entry_id, $data, $ping_message);

Well, the entry_id is in the 2nd argument ($entry_id) in both cases.
