I'm working on a Social publisher and I want to extend the onCreate method. When you create your blog post, I want to send a message after that.

Someting like this:

Event::listen('rainlab.blog.onCreate', function() {

        $twitter =  new Twitter();

        // Send Tweet

    });

Already try that, but it doesn't work. Is there an other whay to do this? I hope you guys can give my any advise. Thank you

What happen excactly? Error message or is the event not fired?

Shahiem you probably want

Post::creating(function() {
    $twitter = new Twitter();
});

I don't feel this is particularly good practice though. Often I'll want to revise my post many times after creating it before I want it to go public on social media. A 'Publish this on Twitter' button on the blog post admin page would be a better idea IMO.

Thank you, I was looking for that :), I think you suggestion might be beter than my idea. So I'll try that out.
