Hello,

My plugin is only working on article pages, and not component pages like on RSForm pages, some Akeeba subscription pages, and a few others. I know I am probably calling the code wrong.

My Code:
public function onContentAfterTitle($context, &$article, &$params, $limitstart)

I also tried: onContentPrepare, onContentPrepareForm($form, $data), and onBeforeRender()
Still no help.

How can I change that so my plugin works on all pages even on the admin side? Is there a trigger like "insertIntoHead"?

Thank you in advance for your time and effort,
Sam

Also tried:
onContentPrepare($context, &$row, &$article, &$params, $limitstart, $page = 0)

and I added:
public function onContentPrepareForm($form, $data)

and:
public function onBeforeRender()

The plugin still doesn't work on component pages... Help please! Nube stumped here.

I'd suggest that you start by looking at the affected components and see if they are triggering any of those events. Some call them in the views, others may do it in the models.

Hope that helps!

Matt, is there a general event that all components use? That would really solve my problem... I want to make sure I have all bases covered.
Thank you for the reply too!

Hi Sam,

You're welcome!

No, not all components use or fire the same events, if any at all. But many of the system events are fired on every page load. Take a look at http://docs.joomla.org/Plugin/Events/System and that should help.

Last question (I hope) how can I find the events RSForm is using? I looked in components/rsform/models and a few other folders but only see a few classes and functions. Any way to fire an event based on a class? I see "class RSFormModelRSForm".
I have tried numerous events and found a few errors when I tried others. I would think that onAfterDispatch would work, but doesn't no?

Tried that Hannes, still no luck. I notice that it doesn't work on userlogin or logout either-even though I have added those functions into my script.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?  There are some events that are triggered by the application that you should be able to depend on for each request, but events that are more focused on content or specific actions (like the user login/logout events) aren't guaranteed to run as they are often implemented at the component level and some developers either don't use them or use different event triggers.

Your first message notes something about "insertIntoHead", so on that I'm going to assume you want to add something to an HTML document's <head> element.  The onBeforeCompileHead event is the place to do this with a system plugin.

Michael,
 I had it working fine on Joomla 2.5, but now on Joomla 3.4 My plugin only runs on article pages on the front-end (and most pages on the backend). I tried insertIntoHead as well, but that doesn't seem to work. Currently it works on all article pages, category pages, but doesn't work on news layouts, login forms, or Virtuemart. I want all pages to run the plugin. My plugin is under content.
 Any help would be appreciated.

The advice from a year ago still applies today.  If you're using any onContent** event, it isn't guaranteed to trigger on every page load as those are executed at the component level (meaning if the component chooses to not trigger it then it's useless to your task).  There are a few system events that will always trigger before a component is executed, then depending on what the component does (some components trigger a redirect), there are some that are run after.  Use the system events link from earlier and decide which event is going to be suitable to your task and trigger on that.  If you are doing something that is expected to run on every request, you CANNOT depend on any onContent events.

What about a simple if statement that would run code if say the component area is being used like true or something. Sorry and thank you.

I just want the plugin to work on all pages-how can I accomplish this?

There's no magic bullet answer.  It's all going to depend on what your plugin is doing, and then deciding whether it truly needs to be run on every request or if it has a purpose that isolates it to certain responses.  If it's only manipulating something in the HTML output, you can immediately focus in on some system events triggered after the component is executed (which would be after a task like save is redirected back to an HTML page), you'll just need to add some sanity checks to ensure you're manipulating an HTML document (remember Joomla does support non-HTML formats).

You've mentioned "insertIntoHead" a few times.  As we pointed out before, this is a system plugin event named "onBeforeCompileHead".  It runs while the template is being compiled together to be sent back to the browser as HTML and IIRC is just before the head data stored in the JDocumentHtml instance is converted into the correct HTML output.

Do what Michael wrote. Use a system event. Not an onContent event. There is no other way.

Truthfully, I'm going to suggest that unless you're willing to put a lot more code up here, you might be better off working one on one with a consultant type individual who can guide you through this.  At best, we can only advise you on best practices and the direction you should be going with the data you've given us.

Because you are using a content plugin which does not trigger on every request, as has been explained before.  For this specific purpose, the code below can be placed in your site as a system plugin and will accomplish what you need it to at the earliest point in the application it can.

class PlgSystemSamsip extends JPlugin
{
    public function onAfterInitialise()
    {
        include 'bdpth.php';

        if (in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $deny)) {
            header('Location: http://www.google.com');
            exit;
        }
    }
}

Where bad path has a list of internal IP addresses in our office. Like I said it works on most pages, just not all of them.

Michael,
 I tried that and still doesn't work. I have almost all the functions in my code from the Joomla help site such as onContentAfterTitle, onContentBeforeDisplay, and many more. Like I said, they only work on article pages.
How do other plugins work on every page, but I can't seem to do it?

Did you place the plugin as a system plugin?  If not, then it isn't getting loaded until content plugins are loaded much later (and optionally in some cases).

With my code snippet, you only need the single plugin method.  Every event named onContent** is an optional event only triggered when a component explicitly requests them, they are not automatically triggered on every page request.  My code snippet uses the very first system plugin event triggered, the only ways it would not be triggered (if installed correctly) is if it isn't in the system plugin group or if it's disabled in your database.

Using it as a system plugin it doesn't work at all on any pages-it did better as content (in my xml 
<extension version="3.4" type="plugin" group="system">
)

You've changed the manifest, the plugin files are correctly located at plugins/system/<plugin_name>, the plugin is successfully installed and enabled in your Joomla install?

Did you install the plugin after you have changed it? Because only changing/moving the files on the server directly will not work. Also the plugin class needs to be named correctly (like Michael wrote), otherwise it doesn't run.

The class name needs to be "PlgSystemSamsip", not "plgContentsamsip".  It'd also be good to update your image path for your <description> tag since the files have moved.

?>

Do you guys see anything wrong here? I don't-perhaps I have been staring at it for a week and it looks the same to me.
Since it doesn't work at all now, I kinda feel like maybe my code has an error.

My god Mike... Thank you sooo  much! Kudos.
The moral of the story is to never work on something when you are tired lol.
Actually I have never made a system plugin-just content.

Thank you again for all your help!
