Ticket #2528412 was marked as a duplicate of this ticket.

Needs to be fixed for 3.1. Will probably deprecate doAfter, in favor of clearer methods - afterHostMethod, beforeHostMethod, onHostEvent, afterHostEvent (maybe?, since the other thing we could probably highlight is that it's the host you're messing with. Need to evaluate shorter names which are clear enough)

Thanks for Re for ticket 2528532. When I was creating this ticket I also discovered this bug and I was very satisfied with your last post from 12/23/09 (adding afterHostMethod, beforeHostMethod, onHostEvent, afterHostEvent), because it gives us possibility that binding to host events can be clearly detached on YUI framework level while removing plugin/destroying plugin without explicitly calling detach.

But I don't think my post was understood clearly. I tried to express that plugin should have one render method (or can be named differently) which could have simple logic - when plugin is plugged and host is not rendered it waits and is executed after host's render, if is host already rendered is executed just after initializer (and this is use case which I cannot handle only with doAfter ... when plugin is plugged after host render was already called only one thing is to check 'rendered' attribute and it leads to not nice code ...).

Hi Jan,
As mentioned in the original bug, as of the latest code, "render" has been made a "fireOnce" event. This means you don't need the if check anymore...

if (host.get("rendered")) {
doSomething();
} else {
host.doAfterEvent("render", doSomething);
}

can be reduced to:

host.doAfterEvent("render", doSomething);

(doAfterEvent does not exist yet, but will (or something similar) when this bug is fixed)

Regards,
Satyen

Forgot to clarify - this should be true even with the latest code, and the workaround I provided...

host.doAfter("host:render", doSomething);

Will always invoke doSomething() - even if the render event has already fired.

Added explicit methods to plugin for host event/method subscription (doBefore, doAfter do not work if the host has a method name which is the same as an event name. May make a 2nd pass for kweight. Fixes #2528463
