Installation

• Copy the folder "Sfs" into the "/modules" folder of your Ionize installation.
• In the ionize backend, go to : Modules > Administration
• Click on "install"
• Reload the backend panel
• Setup the module

Setup

• In the setup field "Event", set one event, for example "Myform.register.check"
• Create one custom registration form, by editing /themes/your_theme/config/forms.php

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

$config['forms'] = array
(
	// Register Form
	'register' => array
	(
		// This will be the lib /themes/your_theme/libraries/Tagmanager/Register.php :
		'process' => 'TagManager_Register::process_data',
		/*
		 * ... 
		 * See documentation for form declaration details
		 *
		 */
		'fields' => array
		(
			'firstname' => array(
				'rules' => 'trim|required|xss_clean',
				'label' => 'form_label_firstname',
			),
			'email' => array(
				'rules' => 'trim|required|min_length[5]|valid_email|xss_clean',
				'label' => 'form_label_email',
			),
			'password' => array(
				'rules' => 'trim|required|min_length[4]|xss_clean',
				// 'rules' => 'trim|required|min_length[4]|matches[password2]|xss_clean',
				'label' => 'form_label_password',
			),
			'password2' => array(
				'rules' => 'trim|required|min_length[4]|xss_clean',
				'label' => 'form_label_password_confirmation',
				// If set to FALSE, ths field will not be saved to DB
				'save' => FALSE,
			),
		),
	),
);

• In the lib which processes your form data, fire the event you previously setup (in this case "Myform.register.check") : To do that, create the file /themes/your_theme/libraries/Tagmanager/Register.php :

<?php

class TagManager_Register extends TagManager
{
	public static function process_data(FTL_Binding $tag)
	{
		if (TagManager_Form::validate('register'))
		{
			$post = self::$ci->input->post();
			
			// Event::fire() returns an array (more than one method can be registered to the same event)
			$results = Event::fire('Myform.register.check', $post);

			$return = TRUE;

			if (is_array($results))
			{
				foreach($results as $result)
					if ( ! $result)
						$return = FALSE;
			}

			// The user can register
			if ( $return == TRUE)
			{
				// ... Register
			}
			else
			{
				// ... No registration
				// ... But don't tell him... :-)
			}
		}
	}
}
