[Prince of area51]

Hi all, I just couldn't help but smile because of the hook system of phpBB, what do you guys think??

Bye bye to all those horrible file edits

There are only four hook locations. It's not as fancy as you think.

And it is also not really suitable for Mods.

LOL what a boomer for an early morning monday start
/me hopes today to turn into a friday

Now since we are talking anyone like to *throw* at me what is going to be the use of it *


*(This question is not directed towards Devs, of course they can answer it on their will )

The hook system allows applicaton and mod developers to hook into phpBB's or their own functions

so in short its for making it possible to hook your cms or other web application into phpBB and maybe vice versa

What is really the hook system ?

Correct. It’s not going to be that useful for MODs. -- maybe a HUGE MOD, but otherwise, it’s mainly for the webapps and your own site.

It allows you to modify functions in phpBB3 without actually touching them. -- you can register a hook in a separate file and change the output of the phpBB3 function that is hookable.
