Hooks

By default the bundle only imports certain information from ChurchDesk. If you need more data you can import them on your own using the parseChurchDeskEntry hook:

// src/EventListener/ParseChurchDeskEntryListener.php
namespace App\EventListener;

use Contao\CoreBundle\ServiceAnnotation\Hook;
use Contao\Model;
use Contao\NewsModel;
use Contao\CalendarEventsModel;

/**
 * @Hook("parseChurchDeskEntry")
 */
class ParseChurchDeskEntryListener {

    public function __invoke( Model $model, array $apiData, bool $isUpdate ): void {

        if( $model instanceof CalendarEventsModel ) {
            $model->something = $apiData->something;
        }

        if( $model instanceof NewsModel ) {
            $model->anything = $apiData->anything;
        }
    }
}
