In Vtiger CRM, beforesave<\/code> and beforesave.modifiable<\/code> are event hooks used to execute custom logic before saving a record. Here\u2019s a detailed explanation of both:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

beforesave<\/code><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The beforesave<\/code> event is triggered just before a record is saved. It allows you to execute custom code right before the save operation. However, at this point, the record is not yet marked as modifiable, meaning you can perform actions based on the record’s data but cannot alter the data itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usage Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

class CustomModuleHandler extends VTEventHandler {\n    public function handleEvent($eventName, $data) {\n        if ($eventName == 'beforesave') {\n            \/\/ Custom logic here\n            \/\/ Access record data using $data->get('fieldname')\n        }\n    }\n}<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
beforesave.modifiable<\/code><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The beforesave.modifiable<\/code> event is similar to beforesave<\/code>, but with a crucial difference: it allows modifications to the record data before saving. This means you can update field values, perform validations, or any other data alterations before the record is actually saved to the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usage Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
class CustomModuleHandler extends VTEventHandler {\n    public function handleEvent($eventName, $data) {\n        if ($eventName == 'beforesave.modifiable') {\n            \/\/ Custom logic here\n            \/\/ Access and modify record data using $data->set('fieldname', 'new value')\n            $data->set('customfield', 'New Value');\n        }\n    }\n}<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
