What is hook?
 

I don't know what it is.

It's a place in southern England. ;)

It's also a feature of vB 3.5.0 which allows you to insert extra code. :)

Read the Howtos about Hooks Brad wrote :)

Well, when I go fishing, I get a line, and then I get a worm, and I .... wait a minute... wrong thread.

Are you sure? ;)

Insert what code? You've lost me. :ermm:

plugins

vb35 has a plugin system, and plugins are placed on hooks which are on specific places all around the source code :)

I thought it was the pirate that Peter Pan was fighting whose name was... uh - never mind, wrong thread...

me too... :rolleyes:

Hahaha... that was funny.

^ Is that what you wanted? :nervous:

Don't worry :) They're all just having a little fun around here :) no harm done :D

Hooks are basically locations in the vBulletin files, where code can be executed using the plugin system.

So for instance, if a location in the User CP has a hook, you can execute code there - using the plugin system. Of course, actual file modifications can still be executed anywhere you want.

If a location does not have a hook, you will either HAVE to modify the files (something that 3.5 modders try to avoid now, like me) OR you just don't insert the code in the file, and instead ask Jelsoft to add a hook there.

Makes sense? :)

No offense, but it would be more helpful if people posted links when you say this...


Good example of a better response....and what I'm talking about in this thread...
