CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello folks,

I am calling hook_civicrm_pre when a profile is edited on the Drupal user page.

For some reason the hook is being called twice.  I am wondering why.  I prefer the format of the params in the second call to this function (because they look the same as when it is called on the submission of civicrm/contact/add and are therefore easy to work with).  Is it bad that this is called twice?

It was bad for me because I was performing some logic that triggered an email to be sent people based on the form submission and it called called twice.

What do you think?

Should we make sure it is only called once?

For now I will update the code to check for the presence of ['edit']['civicrm_dummy_field'] (unless you wanna suggest something more sensible)

Here is the result of print_r($params); ...
