event for login page

[oxygenws]

is there any event for login page? (at serendipity_admin.php before login)

i want this for "forgot password" plugin -> http://www.s9y.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=988

Does the 'backend_auth' hook suffice for you? (Grep through the files, don't know where exactly it is, but it's used for the login form...)

If not, just invent a hook and submit us a diff so we'll include it.

there is only one file that has it, file "functions_config.inc.php" line 221.
i test it, i think it is useful

do you have any document on how to create events and how to use them?? what is parameters of serendipity_plugin_api::hook_event()?? first one is its name what about others??

and.... what is backend_auth parameters??

Code: Select all

serendipity_plugin_api::hook_event('backend_auth', $is_md5, array('username' => $username, 'password' => $password));

Best regards,

Hi Omid!

Best you read our doc at http://www.s9y.org/43.html

Short: hook_event($hookname, $eventData, $addData) is called in the source instance.

Then each plugin which "listens" on the $hookname, can execute data. It gets the $eventData and $addData variables defined. Their input varies on which hook is used.

Like frontend_display contains $eventData with the entries, and $addData with some more properties. And frontend_comments has $eventData containing the list of comments.

A plugin may modify $eventData as it likes. $addData is read-only, that's the difference.
