[HowTo] Add Custom Pages to WOL

[Revan]

Thank you for this Howto, I earlier made a request for a new hook location in the middle of the switch() at vBcom, but I guess I can just make myself a new switch inside those 2 locations.
I did think of this myself, but I found it to be a better idea to be able to plugin in the middle of the switch. We'll see what the devs do

I thought that the logical place for this was in the switch too. But we can accomplish the same thing here.

My initial thought is that a hook in the switch would be more efficient then the bunch of if()'s this may create.

This will evolve. There's always more then one way to skin a cat.

Im not sure that a hook inside the switch would work how you guys think it will.

You could just add another switch statement in your plugin code instead.

a few ifs wont slow the page down.

"a few"? You obviously have not seen the WOL location list for the RPG hack
Not saying it WILL slow it down, just saying that a hook in the middle of the switch as well would be more useful.

Then please suggest so at vb.com.

PS i agree a hook at that spot would be welcomed.

Erm ... you can't put the hook "in the middle of the switch".
You can only put one above it, below, or in one (ore more) of the case: statements - and this is how it does currently work: The hooks are in case default:, eg. will be executed when there is an unknown location.
Now if you have several custom locations put another switch there and everything is just fine.

I agree, maybe if a plugin has multiple pages to deal with, it should be inside an if() and have it's own switch statement to make it efficient?

Been there, done that (quite literally as well)

Remember before, when we edited the function to put in our own case:'s? That is what I mean. A hook that allows us to add case: instead of switch() in the default:
