Email notification and Yii's events trigger in EXTESIONS.....

Dear all,

I am trying to integrate email notification function into an extension called "Comment-module"

http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/comment-module

In this extension…There is an event raised when a new comment is added.

Here is the codes in its Comment-Module.php


	/**

	 * This event is raised after a new comment has been added

	 *

	 * @param $comment

	 * @param $model

	 */

	public function onNewComment($comment, $model)

	{

		$event = new CommentEvent();

		$event->comment = $comment;

		$event->commentedModel = $model;

		$this->raiseEvent('onNewComment', $event);

	}



Here is the "commentEvent.php"


class CommentEvent extends CEvent

{

	/**

	 * @var Comment the comment related to this event

	 */

	public $comment = null;




	/**

	 * @var CActiveRecord the commented object if available

	 */

	public $commentedModel = null;


}



I know how to deal with events in Gii-generated models and controllers…But I have no idea about how to do this in an extension…

How can I trigger this event in an extension…?

I tried to add some codes like below in this extension’s Comment Controller—actionAddComment.

(My model is called Questions)


$questions=Questions::model()->findByPk(7); //just a example

$notifier = new Notifier(); //I have a Notifier.php in protected/components to send emails.

$questions->onNewComment = array($notifier,'comment'); 

but not works…shouldn’t i trigger the event here?

I do have the following codes in my Questions model:


 public function behaviors()

        {

        return array(

            'commentable' => array(

                'class' => 'ext.comment-module.behaviors.CommentableBehavior',

                // name of the table created in last step

                'mapTable' => 'questions_comments_nm',

                // name of column to related model id in mapTable

                'mapRelatedColumn' => 'questionsId'

        ));

       }

Any ideas…?

Thanks so much…!!!

Best,
