Need help in understanding hooks
Added by Trishul Mukherjee over 15 years ago
Hi all,
I am pretty new to Redmine and Rails in general. I wish to understand the concept of hooks in Redmine.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
TP

I'm planning to write about them soon but here's a quick overview:
- A plugin hook is a method that will be run at specific time
- If the hook returns a string, that string will be rendered to the view
- Each hook gets a single Hash of parameters, called the
context
. This will contain data based on which hook is used (e.g.:view_welcome_index_right
will have access to the current Project in:project
)
The discussion on #1677 and the Hooks page might also be helpful.
