Event Handling

In TYPO3, event management helps you control what happens on your website when certain actions are performed. Think of it like setting rules for when a certain event occurs, such as when a user logs in or a new page is created.

Here's a simple overview:

What is an event? An event is a specific action or occurrence, such as a user clicking a button or saving a form.

How does it work? When an event occurs, TYPO3 can execute a piece of code automatically. This is called an "event listener".

Why use it? Event management allows you to customize the behavior of your website without changing the core code. For example, you can send a notification when a new page is published or update data when a user logs in.

How do you set it up? You define your events and what should happen in response by writing simple code in the TYPO3 extension. This usually involves creating a small script that listens for certain events and then executes actions.

By using event management, you make your TYPO3 website more dynamic and responsive to user actions!
