Hi,

I want to trigger beforeLogin().

How can I use this function.

Timmy78:

You have to create a new WebUser class and overwrite the beforeLogin() function.

Declare your custom WebUser class which extends yii\web\User in the folder "components" (or whatever):
namespace app\components;


class WebUser extends \yii\web\User

{

  ...

  beforeLogin($identity, $cookieBased, $duration) {

    //Put your code

    ...

    return parent::beforeLogin($identity, $cookieBased, $duration);

  }

}
In configuration file :
'user' => [

    'class' => 'app\components\WebUser'//Path to your custom WebUser class

    ...

]

Good info.

THX Timmy

$this->trigger(Yii\web\User::EVENT_BEFORE_LOGIN);

if you just want to trigger I think

(I don’t know what you exactly want to do)

Item #2 was exactly what I want.

Thx.
