Nice, this is going to help alot as I'm starting to dabble in writting some custom stuff for a concept board I am creating on my test server.

Don't know if this was mentioned anywhere yet, but you can create your own hook locations. I did it for one of my hacks.

is there a list? any where, that tells you what each hook location is for?

(i need on that runs when your posting a new thread)

Hello.

This thread has help me figure out the 'hook' system (ref: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100597) finally (actually, I hadn't needed it previously except for variable creation, until yesterday). You'll see my interpretation in that ref'd thread.

Hope it helps. :squareeyed:

P.S. This hook system is brilliant! I've worked with many other software programs and the vB structure is at the top on the pyramid in its design.

To create your own hook locations (I'm talking to Wired1) don't you have to hack the core code? Still I guess its better to insert one line hook definition than 60 lines of code.

Exactly, 1 line is better than 60. It's also much harder for someone to screw up and/or fix 1 line than 60 as well (e.g. misplacement, typo, etc).

If anyone's interested I could write up a quick tutorial about it.

You can also add hooks to your own code, which is what I thought he was talking about.

Hello.

Wired1, any tutorials are always welcomed.

Cap'n Steve, I'd also like to know how to add hooks to custom code.

Thanks folks.

Yeah, you can add hooks anywhere. It's pretty easy actually.

Can't remember which hack I added a custom hook for (it's either the extra info one or the profile one), but one of them has the basic instructions for it. I'll try to whip one up in a couple of days.
