Accessing the current local in form event listener

[simonbedard12]

Hi

Environment

This is my current Statamic Setup: php please support:details

Statamic 3.2.4 Pro
Laravel 8.52.0
PHP 7.4.21
No addons installed

Problem

The Site::current() function will always return the default local in a form event listener like Statamic\Events\SubmissionCreated

The Site::current() function return the current local base on the URI: https://github.com/statamic/cms/blob/3.2/src/Sites/Sites.php (Line 51)

Since I'm in a form event the current URI is always starting with /!/form/.....

Working solution

A working solution will be to add a field in the form and use the submission event to retreave the data.
I feel like that this is not a great solution.

Question

What will be the best solution to get the current local in a form event class.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon, from what I see it's not possible at this moment. The site would probably need to be passed inside the SubmissionCreated event here so you can use the site's locale.

You could do this:

$site = Statamic\Facades\Site::findByUrl(url()->previous())

It probably won't work if you're using a queued listener though.

Ideally, we'd pass the site in the event, like @jelleroorda said.

One possibility would also be to have a hidden input in the form which stores the handle of the related site.

<input type="hidden" name="_site" value="{{ site:handle }}">

Which you can then use in your listener...

$event->submission->get('_site');

I tried both solutions and they are working has they should.
