CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi EranSch, I realise we're hijacking this thread to a degree, so apologies to others here.

While not being a CiviCRM pro by any means, I'm a bit of a WordPress geek so I'd be lying if I said I haven't been following your work. Your Hooks implementation was quite interesting as that was one of the first problems I had with Civi's hooks is that they don't quite follow the traditional WP action model.

The hook implementation update will be available by default in CiviCRM 4.6+:

If you want to see any of these in operation, have a look at some of my Civi-WordPress "glue" plugins, which work exclusively with the new hooks file overriding the existing one:

It's easy to override the existing hooks file if you want to test these. There are instructions here:

My involvement with CiviCRM has been so deadline driven that I haven't been able to contribute much to Core. That said, I'd be in to testing the WP Integration code as that might be a little more within my abilities. Can I test your branch of the integration plugin while running the currently 4.5.5 release or do I need to be using 4.6 alpha?

FWIW, my involvement in the civicrm-wordpress plugin is all in my spare time too... but driven by the need for my working time to be best utilised. Happy to hear you'd be up for testing. Yes, the new plugin works fine with Civi 4.5.n - and probably works with Civi 4.4.n too. All you need to do is keep your 'civicrm.settings.php' file and existing Civi code (although you'll need the fix to 'CRM/Utils/System/WordPress.php' I posted previously) and replace everything else with the contents of the github branch I posted.

Look forward to hearing how you get on!
