"on Page load" Hook

[rabii]

I am using latest version. Not sure if that is available for version 5.5.6

Thank you. I cannot find the sub directory Espo\Custom\Reources\metadata\recordDefs\ , do I just need to create this directory and the Connection.json?

We tried what you said and cleared the cache, but the script is not triggered. We are on Espo version: 5.5.6

All of the should go into custom main directory (if you can't find find recordDefs folder you just need to create one)

Given your example i assume your custom entity is called connection, try the steps below:

1 - Create your php file under Espo\Custom\Hooks\Connection\BeforeReadConnectionC heck.php

<?php

namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\Connection;

use Espo\Core\Record\Hook\ReadHook;
use Espo\Core\Record\ReadParams;

use Espo\ORM\Entity;


/**
* @implements ReadHook<\Espo\Custom\Entities\Connection>
*/
class BeforeReadConnectionCheck implements ReadHook
{
public function process(Entity $entity, ReadParams $params): void
{

$entity->set([
'status' => 'Read',
'description' => 'Status has been set as Read via ReadHook'
]);

}
}​

2 - map the file on the recordDefs under Espo\Custom\Reources\metadata\recordDefs\Connectio n.json

{
"beforeReadHookClassNameList": [
"Espo\\Custom\\Hooks\\Connection\\BeforeReadConnectionCheck"
]
} 

This should work fine, tested.

Hi,

You can use the before-read record hook: https://docs.espocrm.com/development...kclassnamelist. It executes on read API call.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried some sample code:

But it does not seem to work. Is there any working implementation that you can share?

Hi,

is there any possiblity to Hook into the page load from PHP?

I'd like to set certain fields when the user loads a certain Object.

JavaScript is not an option, it must be PHP.
