[Xerte-dev] Re: WordPress Event structure

[Smith, John]

I'm still trying to come up with a good use for this at the moment - beyond the stuff that's demoed in the example plugins...

Moving core functionality into plugins is another possibility, similar to what Wordpress does but then there would be some groundwork to do to create a plugin manager to install, manage dependencies etc... just now changing the plugin extension to/from .php is equivalent to enable/disable...

Yes, take a look at index.php where most of the filter hooks I've added exist

Line 136 : apply_filters('page_title', INDEX_WORKSPACE_TITLE);

And in plugins.php, at the bottom, there are some helper functions wrapping the do_actions

do_action("head_start");

These names are not defined anywhere yet but if they matchup with a function in the plugins folder then they will fire...

Actions are of limited value just now but if you passed in an array of names and functions, such as for property page then you could remove or augment if desired... Or do string manipulations...

Hello,

How do I add new events for people to add hooks and filters too?

Same was as WordPress?

Thanks
