small typo:

File: /app/events/controller/users_controller_events.php

should read:

File: /app/events/controllers/users_controller_events.php

I just got it working after missed the bit about putting the event handlers in the app/event/controller folder (not app/controller) and deleting the “empty” file.

But now this looks really useful for things like handling page stat recording, user-account set-up, etc. This is the best plug-in I’ve seen for Cake in a while – thanks a lot!

Sadly I haven’t a chance to properly try this yet. I’m planning on modular CRM system and events make implementing modules extremely easy so this seems perfect. However I do have few key questions about the implementation (I could dig in the source but that wouldn’t help others).

1. Have you run any performance tests? I’d assume the listeners are cached so the events should have minimal overhead. On the other hand loading the actual listeners isn’t exactly fast.
2. Can the listeners call controllers? If it’s possible an example of that would be nice.

I have been using this a lot to facilitate communication between the main app and a list of plugins that *might* be installed.

One thing, svn .empty files in model / controller folders or in the event subfolders will cause it to throw errors.

This seems really kick ass…. Why aren’t more people interested in this? I think I may be using this very heavily in my cms to implement plugins or it :).

Thanks for your hard work!

Love the concept but didn’t try it _yet_. Thanks for your work, watching the Repo for sure!
