Server Module - Always calling module_ClientArea function?

[flosoft]

Hi,

 

I'm currently working on a server module and noticed that for some reason the main "modulename_ClientArea" function gets called every time, even on the other pages that wouldn't need the functions values.

 

As a result, all the delay that happens in the modulename_ClientArea function gets added to every other page.

 

Is that the way it's supposed to be?

I'm not seeing that on my dev install of 5.2 with a server module. I tested by doing a module log call in the clientarea function and it only does an entry when viewing the service details. It does not run when viewing clientarea.php, home, or other pages.

 

Do you have a hook somewhere that is calling the module's clientarea?

So, I am running for example this code in my 5.2.7 install.

 

function flosoftdedicated_ClientArea($params) {
	// Debug print.
	echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars( print_r(debug_backtrace(), true) ) . '</pre>';
....

 

This will run on any of the module subpages, like flosoftdedicated_page2 ....
