I’ve been battling against this issue for the last few hours and I’ve reached the end of my ideas, so I thought I’d post and see what comes of it.

I’ve written an extension which uses the freeform_module_insert_end hook to perform some extra actions after adding to the database. Sadly I’m receiving the following error messages when it’s in place.

From the look of things $msg seems to be undefined. It gets set in the code which checks whether to send notifications, and the code which sends a response to the user, but after each it is unset.

Originally I was using version 2.5.2 but the problem has persisted since I updated to 2.6.0. Expression Engine is at version 1.6.1 (build 20071204).

Any ideas?

Yeah I just found this issue as well… The variable is unset on line: 1263 of mod.freeform.php. My solution was just to take it out of the extension call as I did not need it…. not sure what commenting out the unset would do. Hope that helps.

The extension hook bugs have been corrected in the latest version of Freeform: Freeform 2.6.2

Excellent… cheers!

I’m using 2.6.5 and $msg isn’t even showing in the hook:

Is that correct? Has this been removed?

The hook still does not seem to function correctly in 2.6.6

I get

Undefined variable: msg ... on line 1363

Tested without any parameters, with notifiy parameters.

Dear solspace developers, please fix this hook so that we can actually start using it.

I’ll see if I can get a developer to stop by

Hey guys…

Test this out and let me know if it works

Hi Pie Man

First tests seem to work just fine, i’m getting the desired output when debugging. The $msg variable is now there.
Let me do some more extensive testing, I’m in the midst of writing an extension.

Regards
Peter.

Thanks Peter

Just noticed. We have the $msg variable, however the email message gets sent before the hook in the code, which makes the hook quite unusable, at least in terms of the message.

Would it be possible to either move it or add another hook so that we can change or append something to the content of the message?

Any updates on this?

We have a nice extension waiting to release but without a proper access to the message sent to the users that have to be notified, it’s only half way there and the hook seems useless.

Let us know if we can help to fix this.

Sorry pesche,

I’m waiting on Mitchell for this one…

*bump*

It’s been almost a week now. Still no news? This is pretty easy to fix.

So I’m told that the extension hook you’re using is not intended to function this way…
Mitchell has created two new extension hooks…

freeform_module_admin_notification
This one allows someone to alter the $msg variable before an admin email is sent to anyone specified in the ‘notify’ param.

freeform_module_user_notification
This one allows someone to alter the $msg variable before a user email is sent to the person submitting a form.

See if this attached file solves this for you guys

Hi

Thanks for getting back, we’ll have a look at this as soon as possible.

So the hook freeform_module_insert_end is there only for altering the $msg content, for let’s say displaying it somewhere after the form was submitted?

Finally, you can access the message that was emailed to the notification list through the $msg variable.
