Variables in 'parameter_list'

Hi,

I'm developing a new workflow event type on the event after publish, and I would like to know if the new object has been added thanks to the front-end interface or thanks to the back-end interface. I think there is maybe one variable in the "parameter_list" from "$process->attribute( 'parameter_list' )" that can help me. I know that there is the object_id and the user_id but I don't know what are the other variables.

Does someone know where can I find a list of all available variables from "parameter_list" ? Or what kind of solutions do I have ?

Thanks.

Nico

Hi Nicolas,

I'm afraid that workflow event type parameters are not documented anywhere. The easiest way to find what parameters you have access to is to enable the DebugOutput and DebugRedirection and to put something like the following code to display the structure of the parameter_list in the debug output :

function execute( $process, $event )
{
    $parameters = $process->attribute( 'parameter_list' );
    eZDebug::writeDebug( $parameters, __METHOD__ );
    // your code here
}

This should display something like :

array
  'object_id' => string '73' (length=2)
  'version' => string '1' (length=1)
  'workflow_id' => string '1' (length=1)
  'trigger_name' => string 'post_publish' (length=12)
  'module_name' => string 'content' (length=7)
  'module_function' => string 'publish' (length=7)
  'user_id' => string '14' (length=2)

There's no trace of the siteaccess where the workflow event type is triggered.

I think you can find what siteaccess is currently used by using the global variable $GLOBALS['eZCurrentAccess']['name']

Hope that helps.

Cheers !

Thanks a lot, the $GLOBALS['eZCurrentAccess']['name'] works perfectly.
