Any free samples of hooks scripts? And how to connect to another server?

[bigideaguy]

I was wondering if there are any sample action hook scripts that are open source and free to look at as a sample?

 

Also is there any open source code on how to connect to a server using action hooks and execute something. Like lets say I wanted to have a file downloaded to a directory on the clients account and then have that file execute. How could this be done?

 

Thanks!

Ok I think I am starting to figure out part of my question. But now I have another question, could it be this easy?

 

To execute my file could I simply have a file on my other server (server a) run this:

 

<form action="(serverbpath)/(userpath)/file.php">

<input type="hidden" name="(variable)" value="1" />

</form>

Ok sweet, I got that working, now back to my 1st question. Are there any action hooks I could look at that are free an open source.

As hooks can be anythink you like so seeing someone's hook will not help I think.

 

As all you do is:

 

function name_here_must_be_different_to_all_others($vars_name_you_would_like_to_use_to_display_your_data) {

put the code you want to run/use here in php code

} add_hook("put_your_selected_hook_point_name_here",1,"function_name_here");

Thanks, the reason I asked is because I read that others were saying there was a lot of code available to go off of.

 

Anyways, thanks for the part above, I got that far in my hook, what I had trouble with was to run my function for a specific product id

[thehost5968]

then within "put the code you want to run/use here in php code" rape your code in a if statment.

 

Now the best way to find how the pages you are going to have this working on handle / calls the Product id put {debug} in the page or just within the header.tpl then you will see how it is in smarty for that page?

 

If that does not / can not be done then you will need to do a database lookup.
