Re: [Tiki-devel] Tracker execution

Thanks Victor

I think that just about covers it - apart from just to say not all field handlers have a handleSave function, so the \TrackerLib::replace_item checks for its existence before calling it.

Math fields also have \Tracker_Field_Math::handleFinalSave which runs after all the other fields have been processed.

Good luck!

Major tracker item save operations go through that method to save the item. There are small exceptions when things are updated directly in database but these should really be used with caution.

Also, turn on 'legacy insert screen' option for trackers which will allow you to see any output of var_dumps and other debugging code when saving the item (otherwise you get redirected from the modal and don't see any output).

I'm trying to understand when the handleSave() method is executed. under what condition? Why am I saying this? I'm on a task to better manage the deletion of files in tiki. I can see that it is in this method for example that the links are broken. It's in this method that we take the old data we delete and the new ones are kept. Then I modify one to have to delete definitively some files but nothing happens. i do a little var_dump() inside to make sure it executes but nothing is displayed. Then I delete the body of the method so that it fa
 ils to delete or add new data but it still works fine. So I understand that I'm going the wrong way. Can I have more details about this ?
