Magento Favorited Product Events

Question

I'm working on an extension where I want to do something programmatically whenever a user favorites a product in a Magento store. However — core Magento doesn't the concept of a favorite event, users usually use a free or commercial extension to achieve this sort of functionality, and every extension will implement this in a different.

Has anyone compiled a list of these sort of events?

Since my guess to the above is no — if you're using an extension like this, which event(s) would you hook into to track a user who marks a products as a favorite?

I know I could download all 6000+ Magento connect extensions and parse these for canidate events, but that leaves out commercial extensions like the Amasty extension.

Here is a list of Events on the Magento WIKI

http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/reference/magento_events. It is a bit old (2013)

This is a good one from Nick Jones (Meanbee)

Answer 2

I heard directly from the Amasty folks, and their favorite extension has an amlist/item model that's created whenever you "fav" a product. This model has no _eventPrefix set, but you can use the standard model saving events, and then identify the data_object in the observer by its resource name (amlist/item) or class name (Amasty_List_Model_Item).
