Extension Hook for page load
Development and Programming
Hi there,
I’m writing a quick extension to store some specific page load statistics, and I’m trying to find the right hook to use.
I tried sessions_start and sessions_end, but the member_id & session_id variables are not in the $SESS object (or the $input to the extension) at this point (in other words, these hooks appear to be called prior to those variables being set in the $SESS object)
what I really need is a “start page load” hook… I can’t seem to identify which hook to use.
Any advice?
Thank you -Mark

Hi, Mark! Excellent question, but not something we answer in this particular forum. Moving to the Development forum for additional community support.
When calling sessions_end, the first parameter is the session object, you should be able to access member_id there.
//this is in my extension file
function sessions_end($obj)
{
echo $obj->userdata['member_id'];
}Excellent - thank you for that. The information seemed to be showing up as “guest”, but it was because my session was logged out.
sessions_end works perfectly.
thank you!
Thanks for the assist, Rob!
