Question about hooks and when they are called

[rgf207]

I've read through the hook documentation but I still have a question. If you have a hook file created and it's in your hooks directory, will that file automatically be called when you execute the action for that hook location? If not, where do you define what file should be called when an action is complete?

WHMCS will automatically load every file in the hooks.php directory. In your hook file you create your function then tell WHMCS when to run the function with a call to the add_hook function.

 

For example, this is saying after a client is added run the create_forum_account function which is defined in the same file.

add_hook("ClientAdd",1,"create_forum_account");

That's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you for your help
