XF 2.2 Listen for when account confirmation succeeds

[kmecpp]

I'm trying to make an addon that performs some logic when XenForo confirms the users email address. What's the best way to do this?

Either user entity post save listening for a state change in the user state field or an extension for the service class that handles email confirmation.

I made an entity save listener but how is it possible to detect that the user state went from email_confirm to valid when you only have the final entity?

Originally I implemented a preSave handler to add potential users to an array in addition to a postSave handler to access it, but it seems like the state for even a static class variable is not shared.

The default pre/post save methods of the user object have sample code for that in place I believe. If not, you can look into thread & post pre/post save

Thanks! In postSave it's just

if($entity->getExistingValue('user_state') == 'email_confirm' && $entity->user_state == 'valid')
