If you want to do this on the backend, you would write an extension which subscribed to the EntryPostSave
delegate, which lets you perform your own processing. Much like binding a handler function to a "click" event in JavaScript.
how to create an extension any guidance
any guidance
Step one, set aside a few hours for some reading:
- Concept: Extensions
- Concept: Extension file structure
- API:
Extension
class - API: Delegates list
- Article: Creating a Field extension
- Repository: Symphony Extension Developer Kit is a boilerplate list of files/functions you might need
Step two: find an extension that does something similar to what you want, pick it apart to see how it works, and modify to your needs.
That collection of reading material might be useful for me too once I've got a better grasp of XSLT. Thanks Nick.
