Confusing events name while listening to observer

Question

I am working on site where i have to listen for the matching events and run code according to that event.when print the code in observer

print_r($observer->getEvent()->getControllerAction()->getFullActionName());. I got the events name like ( customer_account_loginPost,customer_account_login,catalog_category_view,checkout_cart_add). But when i check the event list (on different webistes like magentocommerce,nickysys ) for the events name they are different like(customer_login,add_to_cart_before etc) and also my captured events name are not there

. How can i map these events with each other.I am confuse about the events names.

Answer 1

You are not outputting the event names with print_r($observer->getEvent()->getControllerAction()->getFullActionName());

You are outputting the ACTION NAMES, in controllers, that the event is from.

for example: customer_account_loginPost is module customer, controller account, and method loginPost in that controller.

To get the list of events that get run during a page load, edit app/mage.php and in the method dispatchEvent echo out the $name variable.
