HuntBee Framework
Events & Logs
A simple explanation of OpenCart events and the HuntBee logs used for diagnosis.
RecommendedComponent 4.1.0Difficulty: Easy
Events let HuntBee react to OpenCart actions. Logs help support understand installation and runtime problems.
What is an OpenCart Event?
Think of an event as a doorbell. When something important happens, OpenCart rings the bell. HuntBee listens only to the bells it needs.
You save a product
OpenCart event rings
SEO Suite shared handler receives it
Only enabled SEO processors react
Needed queues/caches/signals are updated
Why shared events are better
The SEO Suite is built as one coordinated application. When several SEO features care about the same product save, the Suite can share that OpenCart lifecycle point instead of making many unrelated extensions repeat the same work.
Do I need to create events?
No. Framework/Suite installation and repair synchronize HuntBee-owned events. Avoid manually deleting or changing them unless HuntBee support specifically instructs you.
What HuntBee reacts to
- Product/category/manufacturer/information/article/topic changes for SEO-dependent refresh work.
- Frontend page/header rendering for coordinated metadata, canonical, indexing and structured output.
- Not-found/404 flows for Broken Link Manager and custom 404 behaviour.
- Disabled content routes for redirect handling.
- OpenCart image resize operations for WebP where the normal resize pipeline is used.
Lifecycle log vs runtime event log
| Log | Purpose |
|---|---|
| HuntBee lifecycle/support log | Low-volume operational record for installation, update, manual ZIP, Complete Setup, repair, uninstall and Framework finalization. |
| Runtime event debugging | Optional deeper event diagnostics used when troubleshooting a live runtime issue. |
| OpenCart error log | May contain a concise error when normal OpenCart error handling is involved. |
Safe diagnosticsDebug logging is useful for diagnosis but should not contain licence secrets, API keys, passwords or private activation payloads.
