Hello, I’m having a little trouble with the $EXT->end_script variable in the ‘submit_new_entry_start’ hook.  In it I’m setting the variable like so:

However in cp.publish.php when the extension is returned:

end_script is never filled.  It always comes back as a bool(false) when var_dump()ed.  What makes it even stranger is that I can set $EXT->dummy_var = ‘hello’; in my extension and when I var_dump() it in cp.publish.php it comes out as ‘hello’, as you would expect.

I only have one extension enabled, so it’s not conflicting with something.  Has anyone else had this problem?

A quick update: when I var_dump() $EXT inside of my extension right after setting end_script to TRUE then it show’s up as TRUE.  So somewhere between my extension returning a value and the cp.publish.php picking back up it’s loosing it’s value?

More figuring: when I var_dump() $this in the core.extension.php class directly after the extension was called end_script is already set to FALSE:

so somewhere in the call_user_func_array line my end_script variable is getting lost.

Figured it out!  I was running the following code in my EXT:

and what was happening was the var was being set to true and then the new_entry_form would run, and reinitialize the variable (i guess).  So, switching the order of the two allowed the new_entry_form to run and then the var to be set.

I guess sometimes it helps to talk things out in a forum when your stuck.
