custom hook - hooks_custom.xml - how to reference?

[Zachariah]

<hooks> - anything between this tag and </hooks> will be included in the drop down

<hooktype type="name"> - The name of your hook group, you should group all common hooks under a group so you can find them quickly. Make sure you don't use a name already used by a default hooktype.

<hook> - The name of your hook, this must be the same as the hook's name in the php code


XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<hooks>

	<hooktype type="Test">
	<hook>left_custom_top</hook>
        <hook>right_custom_top</hook>
        <hook>top_custom_top</hook>
        <hook>bottom_custom_top</hook>
	</hooktype>


</hooks>

I am assuming that you are working in a PHP file that includes /forums/includes/global.php.

PHP

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('left_custom_top')) ? eval($hook) : false;
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('right_custom_top')) ? eval($hook) : false;
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('top_custom_top')) ? eval($hook) : false;
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('bottom_custom_top')) ? eval($hook) : false;
