I would like to propose a hook for dedupes ... probably would get called just before any dedupe is checked, and would then allow you to do your own custom dedupe checking, and then choose whether the original dedupe check should continue or be aborted.

There are some dedupe functions called from CRM/Profiles, but I haven't looked much further than that.

Anybody know where all the dedupe related functions are?

And what about hooks? Pointing to some specific files and functions would helpful for if anybody knows where!

Thanks

Can imagine two things being useful:

1) Being able to change the dedupe being called (eg. not using the strict default dedupe but another one on a specific civicrm_contact_create with check_dedupe)
2) Being able to do more advanced rules than what you can set via the the admin interface (eg dedupe the name of the organisation against the legal name or the nickname too)

To my knowledge, no hooks yet for that.
