Add more forum events

[garemoko]

Motive
It would be interesting to report on posts created and replies made alongside post views.

Result
Add create post and reply to post events.

Additional information
I haven't checked whether or not the events are available in Moodle yet.

I have the following events on my list to be done for the next release:

\mod_forum\event\post_created
\mod_forum\event\subscription_created
\mod_forum\event\subscription_deleted
\mod_forum\event\discussion_subscription_created
\mod_forum\event\discussion_subscription_deleted

Is this what you were thinking of?

[garemoko]

It looks like the two I'm talking about are:

\mod_forum\event\discussion_created (start a new discussion)
\mod_forum\event\post_created (reply to a discussion)

We already track discussion views:
\mod_forum\event\discussion_viewed

I'm less worried about subscriptions, but they aren't totally uninteresting.

[jlowe64]

To be honest, those were more my manager's interest. I think I could replace the subs with your two and it'd probably pull in a lot more interesting data than the subs.

[jlowe64]

And furthermore, I doubt people actually subscribe to posts actively as they respond.

Hello,

I tried to add a post_created event myself but I am afraid my PHP skills are not sufficient. Do you know when these events will be added? Can I do more suggestions for events?

[ryasmi]

Hi @RikGr, no worries. Not too sure when they'll be added right now, @davidpesce and I are pretty busy at the moment. Yeah you can certainly suggest new events.

[ryasmi]

If we make progress here let's target the following events first, then close this issue in favour of separate issues per event.

• \mod_forum\event\discussion_created (start a new discussion)
• \mod_forum\event\post_created (reply to a discussion)
