M1 event triggered three times

Question

I want to execute my code once when a customer is loaded in the admin area, I use the customer_load_after event to do that, the problem, I have the method is triggered three times, and I only need one.

I tried to use a flag protected $_firstTime, and I tried to put it in a contructor too, but nothing works because the class is instantiated every time.

didn't work either:

• the register/registry

• customer_load_before

I'm specifing in the oberser <type>singleton</type> But nothing works.

any idea?

The flag way should work, Here's code I use in one of my projects to achieve what you're trying to.

class Vendor_Modulename_Model_Observer
{

    public $eventComplete = false;

    function sales_quote_collect_totals_after()
    {

        if($this->eventComplete){return;}

        $this->eventComplete = true;

       // put module code below here

     }

}
