CustomEvent.observe in UI16

Austin_Treutel · ‎11-02-2016

I have a requirement to display a disclaimer alert when a user initially logs into the instance. Before upgrading to Helsinki and UI16, I utilized a global UI Script with the following code:

CustomEvent.observe('user.login',function(){alert('Custom Alert');});

Now with UI16, I've noticed that this functionality no longer works. I'm not sure if its because the custom user.login event is no longer being created, or some other reason.

Has anyone else come up with a solution to display an alert when a user initially logs into the instance using UI16?

Please share your answer if you know.

So there's two things go on here.

Firstly, CustomEvent no longer exists in the global scope (see my explanation here). You can find it in either

CustomEventManager

or

NOW.CustomEvent

(at least in London).

Secondly, I don't think user.login is an event that is fired anymore. You can actually inspect the events that are registered through

NOW.CustomEvent.events

or

CustomEventManager.events

The list of registered events I can see in London are below. "user.login" is not there, and I can't see any in the list that would be a suitable replacement (but mind you, these are only the ones registered to observe, not what fires). May need to ask someone more in the know.
