Extbase Hooks - execute code upon record creation

I want to create a standard typo3 extension but when I create a record (or modify it) I want to calculate something (in my case I want to call the Google Map API to get coordinates from a given address).

SO I search for a hook or something. Any idea?

In my special case there was no need to calculate the coordinates when the record got saved. So I just used the listAction in the controller, check if coordinates are there and if not call the Google API (and send an email if the Google API does not give a coordinate back).

In another case where the new record comes from a frontend plugin and I had to do something with this data I used the createAction in the Controller. (I am not sure if the createAction is also called when the record is created from the backend.)

One of my project example, may helps you for hook in backend when record has been changed.

In your extension file ext_localconf.php

// Hook for cancellation
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php']['processDatamapClass'][] = 'EXT:femanager/class.tx_femanager_tcemainprocdm.php:tx_femanager_tcemainprocdm';

hook file class.tx_femanager_tcemainprocdm.php where you can execute your script

class tx_femanager_tcemainprocdm{

    function processDatamap_postProcessFieldArray ($status, $table, $id, &$fieldArray, &$reference){
        // $status also called action like delete
        // $table - table name of excute backend action
        // $id - record UID
        // $fieldArray - fields of your table

        if($table = 'your_extension_table_name'){
            // your script  
        }
    }
}

Maybe this answer is useful to you.

Register your class as a data handling hook in your extension. This one "is called AFTER all commands of the commandmap" were executed. Maybe you need to look for a more appropriate one.

Then in your registered Hook i.e. 'typo3conf/ext/your_ext/Classes/Hooks/AfterCreate.php' do your calculation. Hope this sets you on the right track.
