Internal processing order and extension hooks
Development and Programming
I’m looking at the possibility of loading an extension before any EE processing takes place, or as early as possible. Is there any information on the order of hooks or anything else helpful?
Without trawling through all the code it looks like sessions_start is the earliest hook, is that right?
Hi Paul, yes, sessions_starts hook is being called every time a page loads.
Thanks. Do you know if there are any hooks that are called earlier?
Hi Paul,
there is another solution by loading “pre_system” hook. please take a reference from CodeIgnitor http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/hooks.html.
in EE, you can define hooks (hook array) into the file system/expressionengine/config/hooks.php in the same way as CodeIgniter hooks are defined.
hope this would help you.
Thanks! I’ll look into that.
