How to call hook_civicrm_pre for profile in 2.0?

I posted my support question as a comment over in the wiki instead of here:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Changes+in+CiviCRM+2?focusedCommentId=7734310#comment-7734310

Feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers,

So what are the steps to running a hook_civicrm_pre function in a drupal module?

For example, if I want to inject some javascript into a profile used for Event registrations, it seems civicrm doesn't pick up that a mymodule_civicrm_pre() functions exists and needs to be called if it is merely residing in an enabled drupal module. Even if one includes civicrm.settings.php and CRM/Core/Config.php before defining the function, the function doesn't get invoked. Since it doesn't make sense to initialize civicrm on every drupal page load, what's some good sample code for invoking these hooks? I poked about in the repository for testing the v2 api but couldn't see sample calls.

Also, since profiles are anomalous, in that there does not seem to be an api file for them in contrast to objects like participants or contacts, I just want to check that the v 2.0 api for pre and post hooks still support them.

hooks are only called when certain operations are done. typically they are called in CiviCRM when an object is inserted/updated in the db

Your example below (inject javascript used ina  profile) is probably best done by customizing the template (CRM/UF/Form/Block.tpl) and adding the js there conditionally (based on profile id)
