Callbacks

"Callbacks" allow further customization of the product by executing custom code at certain events without breaking the products upgradeability.  

The following callbacks are available for each of the actions performed on an Object:

Creation of a new Object: After

View of an Object: View

Update of an Object: Before & After

Deletion of an Object: Before

Implementation

Callbacks are called from the "Audit" functions. 

Example

A custom callback sends out email notifications based on custom business rules:
(Please note that in ]po[ "tickets" are implemented as "projects")

Call to im_project_audit in page that is creating the ticket:

# /packages/intranet-helpdesk/www/new.tcl
....

if {[exists_and_not_null ticket_id]} {
    # Check if the ticket exists
    set ticket_exists_p [db_string ticket_exists_p "select count(*) from im_tickets where ticket_id = :ticket_id"]

    # Write Audit Trail
    im_project_audit -project_id $ticket_id -action before_update
}

...

Callback implementation in "im_project_audit"
# /packages/intranet-core/tcl/intranet-audit-procs.tcl
...
    if {$catch_error_p} {
        if {[catch {
            callback ${object_type}_${action} -object_id $object_id -status_id $status_id -type_id $type_id
        } err_msg]} {
            ns_log Error "im_project_audit: Error with callback ${object_type}_${action} -object_id $object_id -status_id $status_id -type_id $type_id:\n$err_msg"
        }
    } else {
        callback ${object_type}_${action} -object_id $object_id -status_id $status_id -type_id $type_id
    }
...

Actual implementation of the callback:

# /packages/intranet-core/tcl/intranet-audit-procs.tcl

ad_proc -public -callback im_ticket_after_create -impl intranet-cust-projop-procs {
    {-object_id:required}
    {-status_id ""}
    {-type_id ""}
} {

    - Auto assign users
