trigger event after customer login

Opencart 3.0
I would like to run a function that uses the customer_id after the customer is logged in. Here is my setup
Code: Select all
event: 'my_event', 'catalog/controller/account/login/after', 'extension/module/my_event/updateCustomer'
function updateCustomer($route = '', $args = array(), $output = '') {
$this->log-_write($route);
$this->log-_write(print_r($args, true));
$this->log-_write($output);
$this->log-_write($this->customer->getId());
}
After the customer logged in, I see $route output "account/login" but nothing for $args, $output, or $this->customer->getId(). Am I doing something wrong? How do I get customer_id after the customer login event?
Thanks.

What is the line of code you added in the account/login.php controller file?

Nothing ... original files are not modified. I just want to run updateCustomer function after the customer is logged in. It looks like updateCustomer is run but I couldn't get customer_id using $this->customer->getId()

function updateCustomer($route = '', $args = array(), $output = '') {
$this->log-_write($route);
$this->log-_write(print_r($args, true));
$this->log-_write($output);
$this->log-_write($this->customer->getId());
}
Should be changed for:
Code: Select all
function updateCustomer($route = '', $args = array(), $output = '') {
$this->log->write($route);
$this->log->write(print_r($args, true));
$this->log->write($output);
$this->log->write($this->customer->getId());
}
There are no underscores with methods in Opencart other than possible extensions. As for the $args not being passed, more information would need to be posted on your behalf since a single method does not demonstrate from which location you are actually launching the updateCustomer method.

was a typo. My actual code is
. The problem is the function is supposed to run after customer logged in but for some reason I can't get $this->customer->getId() to give me customer_id.

The customer ID can be obtained once the page has been redirected and the customer logged in successfully. You can also verify with:
Code: Select all
if ($this->customer->isLogged()) {
// Your argument here
}

My function is supposed to be run after the login event but it doesn't look like it is. Using opencart event system, how do I get customer ID after the customer login?

In an OCMod or VQMod file, you could always track this line from your system/library/cart/customer.php file,
find:
add below:
Then, find:
Code: Select all
$this->session = $registry->get('session');
add below:
find in the login() method:
Code: Select all
$this->address_id = $customer_query->row['address_id'];
add below:
Code: Select all
$log = new Log('error.log');
$log->write($this->registry->get('request')->get['route']);
$log->write($this->customer_id);
This should already provide the results in the logs once the customer logs in.

Well I didn't want to use vqmod or ocmod. Using the event system should have worked, shouldn't it? Why wouldn't it work? Am I missing something or is this a bug?

This after event will never fire when a customer logs in because the last action on the controller is a redirect back to account/account after a successful login - so it never returns to the router to trigger the after event.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is any event you can hook into which would only fire once, you could potentially listen on the account/account route but would then need to have some state logic in your observer to only action your code once per login. which makes things complex.
What actions are you looking to take in your updateCustomer observer?

@straightlight and @daveyoi thanks for your reponses. I already found a workaround but it is just puzzling why it doesn't work. The "updateCustomer" function does get executed but not "after login" event. It ran sometime before the end of account/login function. I tried this event "catalog/controller/account/login/validate/after" but nothing happen.

The provided solution above with either OCMod and VQMod should work just fine. It will add the events through the logs real-time when someone logs in.

Yes, straightlight, it works really fine. Useful solution

Opencart 3.0
I would like to run a function that uses the customer_id after the customer is logged in. Here is my setup
Code: Select all
event: 'my_event', 'catalog/controller/account/login/after', 'extension/module/my_event/updateCustomer'

After the customer logged in, I see $route output "account/login" but nothing for $args, $output, or $this->customer->getId(). Am I doing something wrong? How do I get customer_id after the customer login event?
Thanks.
I've faced the same problem right now and I've found and using this function that is *always used after a login
catalog/model/account/customer/deleteLoginAttempts
// events after login
$this->model_setting_event->addEvent('my_event', 'catalog/model/account/customer/deleteLoginAttempts/after', 'extension/module/accountautodisabler/updateCustomer');
----
For events before the login there are different functions to check
catalog/controller/account/login/before
catalog/controller/checkout/login/save/before
catalog/controller/api/login/before
...
----
The events should work for OC 2.3.0.2 up to 3.0.3.8
I hope that those informations can be useful

The function part should be a method that states:
Code: Select all
public function updateCustomer(&$route, &$args, &$output) {
}
You are correct, however. These days, it is best to use Event Triggers with Opencart. The solution I provided above is quite old, which is why forum users should rather focus on up-to-date topics than falling back into the old ones most of the time.
