Sample Extension
Information
The Sample Extension is aimed at letting the developers learn the proper structure of the addon extension in EasyDCIM control panel which will ensure that the extension is installed and functions correctly. With the use of the extension, EasyDCIM can be customized according to your needs, adding for example custom actions which will be fired during the appropriate system events. (Events). Following the documentation:
EasyDCIM models fire several events, allowing you to hook into various points in the model’s lifecycle using the following methods: saving, saved, updating, updated, deleting, deleted. Whenever a new item is saved for the first time, the creating and created events will fire. If an item is not new and the save method is called, the updating / updated events will fire. In both cases, the saving / saved events will fire.
For instance, you can add the functionality to send an email/SMS each time a device is created/removed. You can also define appropriate reactions to the device start/restart/shutdown by adding additional control commands or notifications.
