Hi im new with the extensions and hooks. i used to play about with the plugins and simple mod's in 1.2
but now i have updated to 1.3 and im trying to port over my mod and the plugin that controlled it, to an extension..
the only problem is the hooks arent going where i thot they would..
is there any documentation or tutorials on the extensions and hooks yet?
Andrew
Documentation is under development: first version will be released in about three weeks (some of us are gone for summer vacation here, so the work is slowed down for a while).
Nevertheless, feel free to ask questions right here. What would you like to be explained?
try http://fluxbb.org/wiki/developing_extensions
Yeah at first i found it hard to grasp the concept of hooks. but once your use them, they are easy and fantastic.
Well the problem i had was trying to hook "hd_alert" in the header.php
when i hook it , it displays the output at the start of the document instead of between the menu and main board where i expect it to output ?.
<hooks>
<hook id="hd_alert"><![CDATA[
echo '<div id="brd-alert"><p align=center> Where does this output??</p></div>';
]]></hook>
</hooks>below is a screenshot of the output and where i thoght the output should be?
Direct link, forum will crop image

Yeah thanks i already had a look at that still didn't make much sence to me..
Andrew
nope that is where the hook will show.
try hd_head
hd_head outputs in the same place as hd_alert 
also viewing the source of the webpage shows that it is output before the html tag starts in both hd_head and hd_alert
you have to reinstall the extension becuase you try it. there is a fluxbb/punbb one that will allow you to reinstall it without removing and re-uploading the files. Try this: http://elbekko.stringsandints.com/fluxb … extension/
i have the "Extension one click reinstaller v1.0" installed and im using that to reinstall the extension
instead of writing the html directly, add it to $alert_items
$alert_items[] = '<p class="first-alert"> Where does this output??</p>';instead of writing the html directly, add it to $alert_items
$alert_items[] = '<p class="first-alert"> Where does this output??</p>';
+1 I forgot about that.
Now it doesn't show at all
heres what ive got
<hooks>
<hook id="hd_alert"><![CDATA[
$alert_items[] = '<p class="first-alert"> Where does this output??</p>';
]]></hook>
</hooks>Wait !
i found it, it shows on the admin page.
but what i was looking for is the alert box that shows on the top of every page?
right i still dont get why its outputing at the top instead of in the box where o thought it would...
i will wait for documentation on it.
another thing is why do i always get
Error 500 - Internal Server Errorwhen i try and open an extensions own admin page i was trying some extensions from flux but any that have an admin i cant access it
im guessing its something to do with permissions?
