Hi All

As the subject of this post suggests, i would like my afterSave snippet to trigger when i upload a CSV and when i do a mass delete.

If i edit one item or delete one item then it triggers but anything that revolves around a mass change such as a migxDB import via CSV or a mass delete does not trigger anything.

Anything i can do quickly to resolve this, i am happy to modify the core or the CSVImport Processor in migx to accomplish this. Also would be a good feature to add as another hook if possible.such as “afterImport” or “afterMassEdit”

version 2.8.3 Modx

You can create a custom processor in your own package.  
You don’t have to modify the MIGX code.

Do i simply follow the same structure in my own package, so **my\_package\>processors\>mgr\>default\>importcsv.php** and then modify that accordingly to match what i want it to do.

That worked 🙂

I added the following to the top of my custom importcsv and it now triggers my aftersave i assigned to that config

```auto
$config = $modx->migx->customconfigs;
$hooksnippets = $modx->fromJson($modx->getOption('hooksnippets',$config,''));

if($hooksnippets["aftersave"]){
    $modx->runSnippet($hooksnippets["aftersave"]);
}

```

Its not elegant or fancy but i just needed it to trigger a snippet on any kind of update and the importcsv was not triggering… I will look into the bulkupdate and emptytrash ones too as i probably need it to trigger on those also

Depending on what you are doing in your “aftersave” hook snippet, it may also be an option to instead override the `save()` function in your custom class. (The one that extends `xPDOSimpleObject` in the “model” folder.)
