Events

This plugin will fire some global events that can be useful for interacting with other plugins.

Events	Description
rainlab.user.beforeAuthenticate	Before the user is attempting to authenticate using the Account component.
rainlab.user.authenticate	Provides custom response logic after authentication.
rainlab.user.login	The user has successfully signed in.
rainlab.user.logout	The user has successfully signed out.
rainlab.user.lockout	Provides custom logic when a login attempt has been rate limited.
rainlab.user.activate	The user has verified their email address.
rainlab.user.deactivate	The user has opted-out of the site by deactivating their account. This should be used to disable any content the user may want removed.
rainlab.user.beforeRegister	Before the user's registration is processed. Passed the $input variable by reference to enable direct modifications to the user input.
rainlab.user.register	Provides custom response logic after registration.
rainlab.user.passwordReset	Provides custom logic for resetting a user password.
rainlab.user.beforeUpdate	Before the user updates their profile from the Account component.
rainlab.user.update	The user has updated their profile information.
rainlab.user.canDeleteUser	Triggered before a user is deleted. This event should return true if the user has dependencies and should be soft deleted to retain those relationships and allow the user to be restored. Otherwise, it will be deleted forever.
rainlab.user.getNotificationVars	Fires when sending a user notification to enable passing more variables to the email templates. Passes the $user model the template will be for.
rainlab.user.view.extendListToolbar	Fires when the user listing page's toolbar is rendered.
rainlab.user.view.extendPreviewToolbar	Fires when the user preview page's toolbar is rendered.
rainlab.user.view.extendPreviewTabs	Provides an opportunity to add tabs to the user preview page in the admin panel. The event should return an array of [Tab Name => ~/path/to/partial.php]

Here is an example of hooking an event:

Event::listen('rainlab.user.deactivate', function($user) {
    // Hide all posts by the user
});

A common requirement is to adapt another to a legacy authentication system. In the example below, the WordPressLogin::check method would check the user password using an alternative hashing method, and if successful, update to the new one used by October.

Event::listen('rainlab.user.beforeAuthenticate', function($component, $credentials) {
    $email = $credentials['email'] ?? null;
    $password = $credentials['password'] ?? null;

    // Check that the user exists with the provided email
    $user = Auth::getProvider()->retrieveByCredentials(['email' => $email]);
    if (!$user) {
        return;
    }

    // The user is logging in with their old WordPress account
    // for the first time. Rehash their password using the new
    // October system.
    if (WordPressLogin::check($user->password, $password)) {
        $user->password = $user->password_confirmation = $password;
        $user->forceSave();
    }
});
