Hooks location in application_top.php

[Guest]

I'm looking at the current suggested placement of the following code at the bottom of the app_top file:

  require(DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/classes/hooks.php');
  $OSCOM_Hooks = new hooks('shop');

I am looking at creating a few addons that would be best suited to run higher up in app_top; however, unable to use hooks unless this is moved higher up the code.  I'll go ahead and get started with testing.  If anyone knows of any known issues in doing so, please post.

 

Thanks,

In my testing, I was successfully able to move the initiation of hooks to immediate below the following

  $configuration_query = tep_db_query('select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from ' . TABLE_CONFIGURATION);
  while ($configuration = tep_db_fetch_array($configuration_query)) {
    define($configuration['cfgKey'], $configuration['cfgValue']);
  }

This provides the most access to all system variables before they are defined by code that immediately follows.

 

Off topic, HOOKS RULES!!!  :thumbsup:

Do you want redefine something or what?

Yes.  I am working on implementing a solution to sanitize $_GET and $_POST with settings stored in the db.  This requires that hooks be implemented much closer to the start of the application_top file.  In order to register a hook, general.php and html_output.php need to be called shortly afterward.

 

So far in my testing, it works properly and allows for maximum implementation possibilities
