J! 1.0.13 and Mambots/Plugins and Event Lists?

Post by edward_cox » Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:10 am

Hello All,
I am trying to develop a few Mambots/Plugins for J! 1.0.13 and I would like the bot to be triggered upon successful Login of a Registered user.
As per the online Help section for Developers..

There are currently five documented event triggers for mambots:

    * onPrepareContent
    * onSearch
    * onInitEditor
    * onGetEditorContents
    * onEditorArea


and none of these seem to be appropriate 'system' event triggers. Searching the Forums has revealed some other event triggers such as:

userActive
goodLogin
onAfterStart
onStart

however none of these seem to be 'documented'.

Can someone please tell:

1. is there a more complete list of known valid event triggers in  J! 1.0.13 ?

2. where are the triggers defined? Which file? How can I define a trigger with parameters?

3. how can I determine that an event trigger has been 'fired' to success?

4. do you have an example bot that uses a custom or 'upon login' trigger?

Hoping that some wise and patient Joomla Guru Developer will take the time to assist myself (and others) in this mysterious area.

Thank you in anticipation,

Regards,

Ed Cox.
