Orchard 1.8 - How to trigger action when user logs in

Question

I created a custom part that I attached to the User part (I need it to store additional data related to the user). I need to execute some code when the user registers the account or each time he authenticates himself using that account. I put the code to execute during the registration in the handler of my custom part, inside the OnCreated method, but I cannot find how to identify the login operation. Is there a method of the handler where I can put that code that I need to execute on each login?

Answer 1

That code won't be in the part but in the IUserEventHandler LoggedIn event.

So an example implementation would be:

public class ModUserEvents : IUserEventHandler {
    public ModUserEvents() {
    }

    public void LoggedIn(IUser user) {
        // go go do your stuff
    }


    #region unused events
    public void Approved(IUser user){
    }

    public void Created(UserContext context){
    }

    public void Creating(UserContext context) {
    }

    public void LoggedOut(IUser user) {
    }

    public void AccessDenied(IUser user) {
    }

    public void ChangedPassword(IUser user) {
    }

    public void SentChallengeEmail(IUser user) {
    }

    public void ConfirmedEmail(IUser user) {
    }
    #endregion
}

You'll need to reference Orchard.Users and add @using Orchard.Users.Events
