Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install this plugin from the Plugin Store or with Composer.

#### From the Plugin Store

[](#from-the-plugin-store)

Go to the Plugin Store in your project’s Control Panel and search for “Storychief”. Then click on the “Install” button in its modal window.

#### With Composer

[](#with-composer)

Open your terminal and run the following commands:

```
# go to the project directory
cd /path/to/my-project.test

# tell Composer to load the plugin
composer require storychief/craft-cms-v3-storychief

# tell Craft to install the plugin
./craft install/plugin storychief-v3
```

Activate
--------

[](#activate)

To activate the plugin you first need to set up a new Craft CMS channel on your StoryChief admin panel. As soon as you create one, it will give you an **encryption key** .

In your CRAFT CMS, go to your Settings/Plugins and activate your StoryChief plugin. Go to its Settings and fill the encryption key and website URL.

Save it.

Finally, back to your StoryChief CRAFT CMS channel configuration, fill up your CRAFT CMS site URL and save

:)

Events
------

[](#events)

Note: this is mostly for developers that know basic PHP and Composer Packages.

### `beforeEntryPublish` and `beforeEntryUpdate` event

[](#beforeentrypublish-and-beforeentryupdate-event)

This allows developers to execute custom functionality before saving a new or updating an entry, to modify data of a new entry.

```
use storychief\storychiefv3\events\EntryPublishEvent;

$this->on('beforeEntryPublish', function (EntryPublishEvent $event) {
    $payload = $event->payload;
    $settings = $event->settings;
    $entry = $event->entry;

    // Example 1:
    $entry->sectionId = 2; // BLog
    $entry->typeId = 2;

    // Example 2:
    if ($payload['data']['custom_fields']) {
        foreach ($payload['data']['custom_fields'] as $customField) {
            if ($customField['key'] === 'custom_field_name') {
                $entry->sectionId = $customField['value'];
                $entry->typeId = 2;
            }
        }
    }
});

use storychief\storychiefv3\events\EntryUpdateEvent;

$this->on('beforeEntryUpdate', function (EntryUpdateEvent $event) {
    // ...
});
```

### `afterEntryPublish` event

[](#afterentrypublish-event)

This allows developers to execute custom functionality after a new entry, pushed by Storychief, is saved in Craft.

### `afterEntryUpdate` event

[](#afterentryupdate-event)

This allows developers to execute custom functionality after an update to an entry, pushed by Storychief, is saved in Craft.

Both events send out a `EntrySaveEvent` with the saved `Entry` object as its property.
