The documentation at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+hook+specification says:

Quote

* These hooks will be called on any operation on some core CiviCRM objects.

Which ones?

It doesn't seem to be getting called for creation of a new Event Type. Is there a way to get Drupal to respond when new event types are created -- I need to create a corresponding content type.

If you grep inside the files in civicrm/CRM for "CRM_Utils_Hook::pre" you can see exactly what fires off the the pre hooks (and where):

Code: [Select]

  grep -rn "CRM_Utils_Hook::pre" civicrm/CRM/*

For CiviCRM 2.0.2 I can see a pre hook call for Event creation but not Event Type creation.

It appears that Event Types are stored as an Option Group (in civicrm_option_group and civicrm_option_value), so if you want a CiviCRM pre hook on Event Type creation then perhaps you could add a CRM_Utils_Hook::pre(...) call to somewhere suitable in the function addOptionValue(...) inside CRM/Core/OptionValue.php (in a similar fashion to the other pre hook calls).
