Custom services

Custom services allow you to add simple extensions to the LoginAPI core. We already a provide a number of different interfaces as extension points. Simple add a class in the custom directory and implement the interface of interest.

Currently we provide the following custom services:

Name
Description

LogBackend
If you want to provide your own backend for log messages.
DbLogger is already an example shipped with the SDK.

StateChangedListener
If you want to react on state changes - most important if a client got online
(like our example NewsletterSubscriber))

LocationService
For a location based setup implement this interface to provide your own
location IDs based on MAC addresses, VLANs, IACBOX IDs and others

RedirectService
For a custom redirect service implement this interface to provide your own
redirects based on your business logic.

To load a custom service add your class name to the config entry custom-services in conf/main.config. Multiple classes have to be space or comma seperated. Please note that the name of a class and file has to be the same (MyService -> filename Custom/MyService.php).

Example Implementation StateChangedListener

Execute custom code after a successful login with the payment plugin.

         */
        public function onStateChanged(Session $session, $oldState, $newState) {
                if ($oldState != Session::ONLINE && $newState == Session::ONLINE && $session->authPlugin == 'payment') {
                        //do something here
                }
        }
}

Example Implementation LocationService

Execute custom Code for a customized LocationService

The method resolveLocationId() is necessary because it will be called automatically. Don’t change it!

        public function resolveLocationId($requestFields) {
                // Add your custom location code here
        }

}

Example Implementation RedirectService

Example Redirect Service

The method doRedirects() of the interface RedirectService is called at the very end after a successful login for each client. You can redirect each client based on your business logic here. This method should exit after sending the redirect via a header.

Attention

Don’t forget that captive browsers of Android smartphones close after a successful login. You will see redirected websites only on iOS and desktop browsers.
