Which is the best entrance for a prizing discourse? When reply to a topic, will win a prize by chance, to attract more people to take part in

I am using laminas to build a project: a discourse kind system. Our PM propose a function that publish a kind of topic(not all topic, just some choosen ones), when users reply to these topics, they may win a prize (a game activation code, etc) by chance. To me, I want it to be decoupled to the main disourse logic. It should be a plugin-kind function. It not break into the existing logic. And can be extented more such kind functions, and can be removed easily. When a reply won the prize, this…

Passing config into model

Hello, I’m migrating quite a big project from ZF2 to Laminas and I’m nearly there. In the older version, I have an EmailModel which is accessed by various different controllers in order to send emails, with variables like ‘account name’ @ ‘domain name’ from the config files, which used to be accessed using the ServiceManager with a line like $config = $this->getServiceLocator()->get(‘Configuration’); within the EmailModel. What is the best way to replace this? I’ve got all the Controllers w…

Use events for this. You have access to the event manager in a controller and you can trigger an event that a comment is added. A listener can listen on this event and send an email, write a log, and more.

And if the channel for sending the notification changes in the future, just add a new listener. The triggers do not have to be changed.

It would be even better if you use the event system in your existing model. For example, when a comment is added to your model, you trigger an event.
Then you are decoupled from controllers and request handlers.

(I will try to add a code example later.)

I just wanna to trigger the custom event inside the db model xxxTable 's save() method, that means I thought I don’t need to pass the eventmanager from action to save() method.
I wanna to trigger the event right directly in db table’s save() method without any eventmanager param into this method.

I am trying to decouple, just new it inside the save() method, that’s what I did above. But it seems I am on the wrong direction.

In a Controller action, it is very easy to access the eventmanager via $this->getEventManager(),
However If I wanna to use in a xxxTable’s save method, should I have to pass the eventmanager into save method via a param?
