Hi,

I'm trying to insert UI into CiviCRM using hook_civicrm_links, so as a test i'm simply logging the hook function parameter details to a file when the function is called. I'm following the instructions from the wiki:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-UIHookfunctionsignatures

However nothing seems to be happening at all (certainly nothing is logged) so it doesn't appear that the hook function is being called.

I'd be grateful if someone could either point me in the direction of a working example, or let me know if there's any known issues with using this hook.

Thanks ... Dougall

here is my code, it's in the main module script (pxp.module in this case)
  function hook_civicrm_links( $op, $objectName, $objectId ) {
    writeToLogFile("<br><hr><br>hook_civicrm_links( $op, $objectName, $objectId )");
    return null;
  }
...it uses this function:
  function writeToLogFile($str) {
    file_put_contents(PXP_LOG_DIR_LOCATION."PXP_Module_Log.html",
                      "$str<BR>\n", FILE_APPEND);
  }
the url i was hoping would result in calling this hook is:

http://localhost/drupal-5.7/index.php?q=civicrm/contact/view&reset=1&cid=1

This results in nothing being added to the log file (I know the logging code works because I'm using it to view details of pre and post hook calls).

whoops .... thanks
