Hi

i want to add 2 hooks onAfterPublish and onAfterUnpublish to my modules. basically i want to update my xml file based on page published and unpublished.

my config file include following code

Director::addRules(10, array(
	SiteMapModule::$siteMapURLSegment => 'SiteMapModule',
));

and

class SiteMapModule extends Page_Controller { 

		public function onAfterPublish() {
			$this->Content();
			parent::onAfterPublish();
		}
		
		public function onAfterUnpublish() {
			$this->Content();
			parent::onAfterUnpublish();
		}
		
		public function  Content() {
			#code
			#code
		}

}

but this is not working? can anybody help me how to do this?

I think you may have your extension setup incorrectly. I think you would want to set it up like so

class PageExtension extends DataExtension {
    //your code
}

and in _config.php

Object::add_extension('Page','PageExtension');

If that doesn't work check out the doPublish() and doUnpublish() functions in SiteTree.php.

Hey Kammo

You don't want to extend Page_Controller. I did some more investigating and did find out that I was mistaken about which class to extend. You actually want to extend the SiteTree class, not Page (Although Page may have worked)

your extension should be like

class SiteMapModuleExtension extends DataExtension {
public function onAfterPublish() { 
         //your code
      } 
       
      public function onAfterUnpublish() { 
         //your code
      } 
}

and in your _config.php

Object::add_extension('SiteTree','SiteMapModuleExtension');

Check out this module on github, silverstripe-googlesitemaps. It may help point you in the right direction.

To fix the "Fatal error: Object::add_extension()..." you'll have to do a ?flush=all.

Not sure why your getting an error related to composer.js but as you don't need to install the module I wouldn't bother installing it. Just examine the code on git or through your local code editor as it may assist you.
