[Vtigercrm-developers] Events of different custom modules interfere

[Asha]

Hi Andreas,

What you noticed is partially correct. All the events from
vtiger_eventhandlers are picked up one by one and executed irrespective of
the module for which it is created.

For which modules should each of the event handler be triggered, is
controlled by the condition part of the event handler.

It is also possible for you to specify conditions that restrict when the
handler will be executed. You might want an event to be fired only for
changes in a particular module. Currently the conditions are restricted to
selecting module names

Example:
require 'include/events/include.inc';
$em = new VTEventsManager($adb);
$em->registerHandler($eventName, $filePath, $className, 'moduleName in
['Contacts', 'Accounts']);

In the above example the event will only be triggered if the triggering
entity is of the module Contacts or Accounts.
