Improvement to template::display hook

Post by igorw »

The template::display hook has a major issue: You do not get access to the template instance. Just using the $template global used to be fine, but now the email system also uses the template system internally. This leads many things to break.

The solution to this would be to pass the template instance ($this) into the hooks. This would be an additional argument, and I'm pretty sure it would be backward-compatible.

It would be nice if we could fix this for 3.0.8 or 3.0.9, are there any reasons not to do so?
