[Vtigercrm-developers] Infinite loop in Events

[Musavir Khan]

Hi David,

you the type of entity for which the event is trigger and type of entity
that is being created in the event handler then you can add a check for
module name something like this should work,

function handleEvent($eventName, $entityData) {
        global $log, $adb;

        if($eventName == 'vtiger.entity.beforesave') {
            $moduleName = $entityData->getModuleName();
            if ($moduleName == 'HelpDesk') {
                //your code here
           }
      }
}

This should avoid the infinite recursion, but if the entity being created
and the entity for which the event is of same type then this will not work.

Thanks,
MAK
