Author Topic: Drupal's hook_node_info is called on all page views? (Read 1647 times)

I'm working on a custom Drupal module which implements hook_node_info.
For testing purposes this function sends a message to the browser.
I have noticed this message is shown on all CiviCRM pages.
This leads me to conclude that CiviCRM is invoking this Drupal hook on every page... am I right? Isn't that a bit intensive if that's the case?

you might want to do a bit more due diligence and put a backtrace in your implementation of hook_node_info and track who is calling it (and then figure out why). Check: http://nz.php.net/manual/en/function.debug-print-backtrace.php

I'm pretty sure CiviCRM does not call it (civicrm calls very few drupal hooks, i think the only hook we call might be the user hook)

The backtrace is leaving me none the wiser I'm afraid.
I've shoved in a test statement in that hook in another module, which isn't getting called. So it's not invoking everything, you're right.

And I'm accessing the Civi API from my module's hook, like this:

Code: [Select]

function civi_contact_node_node_info() {
  // initialize CiviCRM and load API
  civicrm_initialize(TRUE);
  require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';
  $params = array();
  $civi_groups = civicrm_groups_get( $params ); // note: only active groups returned
