Action hook priority isn't working (or am I missing something)?

[sufi]

I am trying to run ClientChangePassword hook after ClientEdit hook. BUt no matter what priority I set for them, ClientChangePassword always runs before ClientEdit!

How to overcome this? Can anyone please help?

you get it wrong, each of ActionHook points run separately, the priority used to sort the functions of that should run on the exact same ActionHook point e.g if you created two functions to run when "ClientChangePassword" you can use the priority to tell WHMCS which function should run first

Thanks for making it clear to me. It now makes sense.

 

The problem I am facing is actually when user data is updated from admin panel. If some admin updates (for example) email and password from the profile tab, then it triggers ClientChangePassword and ClientEdit hooks. ClientEdit hooks keep the old email, which I need to verify the password change. But unfortunately when ClientChangePassword triggers, it only returns userid and password string. Queering from DB, I can get the new email, but I need old email inside the function of ClientChangePassword.

Do you have any clue/suggestion on how can I get that?

Have a look at these hooks:

 

AdminClientProfileTabFields and AdminClientProfileTabFieldsSave
