Actionhooks dont function how the docs say they do.

[ServWise.com]

Since V4 a new way of referencing actionhooks has appeared.

 

From the docs

 

function create_forum_account() {
   $vars = func_get_args();
   print_r($vars);
}
add_hook("ClientAdd",1,"create_forum_account","");

 

Note the line $vars = func_get_args();

 

All fine however $vars are now referenced by a number not a name.

 

I can't use $vars["invoiceid"] I have to use $vars[10]

 

(This is how Matt instructed me to do things after I complained that the action hooks were not working)

 

The docs do not say what each number references in each hook and in fact still show the old way of referencing them as names.

 

And it is very inconvenient to do a print_r($vars); to find out what they are.

 

Personally I think it is crazy to reference the array values by a number, what happens if you remove a variable one day everything is going to shift and break.

 

Please reinstate the old way of referencing.

Thanks for your feedback. It was an oversight that name references didn't work in v4 and so they will be available again in 4.1.

That's great to know.

Hi Matt,

 

Although you have stated "name references" will be back in 4.1, is there actually a list you can paste for the numbers?

 

I am specifically looking for what used to be :

 

actionhook_ClientSignup($vars) and actionhook_ClientDetailsEdit($vars)

 

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

 

I created a basic actionhook to dump the vars for clientedit

 

[0] => client ID

[1] => Firstname

[2] => Lastname

[3] => company

[4] => email

[5] => address 1

[6] => address2

[7] => city

[8] => state

[9] => zipcode

[10] => country

[11] => phone number

 

Is this what you are after?
