[Xerte-dev] Re: WordPress Event structure

I've not put any hooks in the play or preview pages yet  - haven't seen the need yet but you could. As I said these hook_names are not previously defined elsewhere  (could be a bad thing as it allows for typos) so you can pretty much use any name you want...

You would need to include the plugins.php file in any php file that you need to hook an action or filter in...

If you need to do it in javascript then you would either put it in the php function that is already ajaxed or create a new function and ajax it
