Um, why aren't you using the XML interface? Just curious.

So I looked at this and realised that by necessity it must do that seeing how it needs all three parameters to be able to get the plugin id. But in almost every case a plugin should be using the XML interface; it should only ever need the hook directly if it's going to dynamically generate actions that aren't pre-known at the point of registering the plugin.

Which can be a fairly common occurrence for something like a dynamic portal.

Would a portal really be creating its own *dynamic actions*? I haven't seen any portal do that for SMF. Static actions (action=forum) and pages (page=x), yes, but not dynamically allocated action=item.

And for those rare cases it's going to happen, doing it the long way really is a minor deal, no?

Mind you, I've made it clear that I want to see a CMS of sorts in the core in more recent times, so I'm not really sensing this to be a real world problem ;)

Just an irregularity. Also, if someone points this out in the future, we can then direct them to this topic.
