One observer listening for two or more events

Question

Is it possible for one custom observer to listen to more than one event?

I have a custom observer which right now is listening to only one event, I would like to add 1 or more events for that observer to listen to.

Is it possible or should I create a new observer for each event I want to listen?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible, but i'd prefer serveral (observer) methods as long it should not do exactly the same.

<events>
    <event_one>
        <observers>
            <your_module_event_one>
                <class>your_module/observer</class>
                <method>yourMethod</method>
            </your_module_event_one>
        </observers>
    </event_one>
    <event_two>
        <observers>
            <your_module_event_two>
                <class>your_module/observer</class>
                <method>yourMethod</method>
            </your_module_event_two>
        </observers>
    </event_two>
</events>
