Show Hooks

I got this idea from http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3285 (Integration Hooks Report, by Emanuel and Sinan).

This plugin is basically the same principle as the SMF mod linked above, but with some Wedge-y aspects (which, incidentally, are impossible in SMF, or, at least, extremely convoluted). It shows all hooks installed on the platform, categorised by plugin as can be  seen in the attachment. Yet, there will be some stray hooks where webmasters customise their forum,, if they didn't edit the core.

There is a drop down box which allows for filtering by a specific plugin, stray hooks, or none at all.

Extremely useful for plugin developers, would be nice as a build-in feature  :cool:

Oh, that's NICE. I deliberately didn't think about it being core, partly because I felt it could be done better as a plugin, partly because I suspect most users don't care and partly because I couldn't visualise a good UI. But I knew it could be done :)

I'd like to see that core too, yes.

Does it/would it provide the list of functions currently attached to any hooks...? As well as the ability to disable them?

I'd tend to say otherwise. It would only be of REAL use to plugin developers. The average admin wouldn't even care, so long as what they use works. Since the latter is in the vast majority, I'd feel most woad see this as bloat.

Only stray hooks can. I deliberately disabled the remove checkbox for plugin hooks on the assumption that either all or none can go.

I like that idea and I know just how to implement it.

Do you think the one I came up with is good?

Yes, I think you came up with a good UI, though it's hard to tell exactly what the screenshot is showing since it got resized on upload :/

I'll see if putting it in Aeva would help.

Try it now. I created a new profile in the permissions that should allow you to upload to it.

It works, but The file size is larger (78049 KB) than the system allows. It's 162K.

No worries :)

FWIW, the album should be set up so that anyone in the Consultants group can post images to it. I might end up posting some of mine to it sometime as and when I get time :/

It uses the 'Consultants' profile. As to selecting which groups can write to it, I saw only 'Regular Members'.

...ok, now I'm confused. I have no idea why that should be.

(Honestly, I get more than a shade confused by Aeva's permissions.)
