Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Forum: Development, Plugins and Globals: Hook for everything?

Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone knows the plugin hook, which will let me check to see if $IN->param('do') is something that my plugin needs to handle? (i.e after the user checks have been run, but before it outputs anything to the user). Otherwise, I guess I'll have to write a seperate .cgi script; which I'm trying to avoid really Unsure

I had a look in the documentation, but unlike LinksSQL, the plugin wizard doesn't have a list of the valid hooks :(

TIA

'do_func' is most likely what you're looking for, which is fired immediately before the do_action_name hook; you can alternatively define your own do= actions by setting the appropriate value in $CFG->{functions}.

Thanks for the reply Jason. Doesn't seem to be working for me though :/

Code:
		$CFG->{functions}->{pmmanager} = { 
			'action' => 'pmmanager', 
			'customizable' => { 
				'description' => '1', 
				'page' => '1' 
			}, 
			'description' => 'PM Manager', 
     		 function => 'Plugins::GForum::PMManager::main', 
		}; 

    $CFG->save();

... and then when I call;

gforum.cgi?do=pmmanager

...or even;

gforum.cgi?do=pmmanager&action=pmmanager

.. gives me;

Quote:

No such action 'pmmanager'

TIA for your reply.

Cheers

You want 'action' to be either 'page' or 'function' (I'm guessing 'function' in this case) - 'page' means 'look at the 'page' value, and parse it as a template', 'function' means 'run the function in 'function''.
