Event for saving Custom Fields data? Or before save

Question

I am looking for the event is triggered when saves or just before the com_fields custom field saves the data?

Also, is there any where I can find the list of all com_fields event trigger the ones I found on Joomla's issue tracker are

• onCustomFieldsGetTypes
• onCustomFieldsPrepareField
• onCustomFieldsPrepareDom

Thanks

Answer 1

A list of all the events specific to the fields:

• onCustomFieldsBeforePrepareField
• onCustomFieldsPrepareField
• onCustomFieldsAfterPrepareField
• onCustomFieldsPrepareDom
• onCustomFieldsGetTypes

Since the fields component does not have its own specific "Before Save" and "After Save" events, then the onContentBeforeSave and the onContentAfterSave events will be triggered before and after saving the field (please check the save function in the libraries/legacy/model/admin.php file as well as the constructor in that same file).

Answer 2

You can use the onContentBeforeSave and the onContentAfterSave event and filter your functions with the proper $context for the com_fields, so it will run only when you are in com_fields.
