3 This document describes how event hooks work in MediaWiki; how to add hooks for
4 an event; and how to run hooks for an event.
5
6 ==Glossary==
7
8 event
9 Something that happens with the wiki. For example: a user logs in. A wiki
10 page is saved. A wiki page is deleted. Often there are two events
11 associated with a single action: one before the code is run to make the
12 event happen, and one after. Each event has a name, preferably in
13 CamelCase. For example, 'UserLogin', 'ArticleSave', 'ArticleSaveComplete',
14 'ArticleDelete'.
15
16 hook
17 A clump of code and data that should be run when an event happens. This can
18 be either a function and a chunk of data, or an object and a method.
19
20 hook function
21 The function part of a hook.
22
23 ==Rationale==
24
25 Hooks allow us to decouple optionally-run code from code that is run for
26 everyone. It allows MediaWiki hackers, third-party developers and local
27 administrators to define code that will be run at certain points in the mainline
28 code, and to modify the data run by that mainline code. Hooks can keep mainline
29 code simple, and make it easier to write extensions. Hooks are a principled
30 alternative to local patches.
31
32 Consider, for example, two options in MediaWiki. One reverses the order of a
33 title before displaying the article; the other converts the title to all
34 uppercase letters. Currently, in MediaWiki code, we would handle this as follows
35 (note: not real code, here):
36
37 function showAnArticle( $article ) {
38 global $wgReverseTitle, $wgCapitalizeTitle;
39
40 if ( $wgReverseTitle ) {
41 wfReverseTitle( $article );
42 }
43
44 if ( $wgCapitalizeTitle ) {
45 wfCapitalizeTitle( $article );
46 }
47
48 # code to actually show the article goes here
49 }
50
51 An extension writer, or a local admin, will often add custom code to the
52 function -- with or without a global variable. For example, someone wanting
53 email notification when an article is shown may add:
54
55 function showAnArticle( $article ) {
56 global $wgReverseTitle, $wgCapitalizeTitle, $wgNotifyArticle;
57
58 if ( $wgReverseTitle ) {
59 wfReverseTitle( $article );
60 }
61
62 if ( $wgCapitalizeTitle ) {
63 wfCapitalizeTitle( $article );
64 }
65
66 # code to actually show the article goes here
67
68 if ( $wgNotifyArticle ) {
69 wfNotifyArticleShow( $article );
70 }
71 }
72
73 Using a hook-running strategy, we can avoid having all this option-specific
74 stuff in our mainline code. Using hooks, the function becomes:
75
76 function showAnArticle( $article ) {
77
78 if ( Hooks::run( 'ArticleShow', array( &$article ) ) ) {
79
80 # code to actually show the article goes here
81
82 Hooks::run( 'ArticleShowComplete', array( &$article ) );
83 }
84 }
85
86 We've cleaned up the code here by removing clumps of weird, infrequently used
87 code and moving them off somewhere else. It's much easier for someone working
88 with this code to see what's _really_ going on, and make changes or fix bugs.
89
90 In addition, we can take all the code that deals with the little-used
91 title-reversing options (say) and put it in one place. Instead of having little
92 title-reversing if-blocks spread all over the codebase in showAnArticle,
93 deleteAnArticle, exportArticle, etc., we can concentrate it all in an extension
94 file:
95
96 function reverseArticleTitle( $article ) {
97 # ...
98 }
99
100 function reverseForExport( $article ) {
101 # ...
102 }
103
104 The setup function for the extension just has to add its hook functions to the
105 appropriate events:
106
107 setupTitleReversingExtension() {
108 global $wgHooks;
109
110 $wgHooks['ArticleShow'][] = 'reverseArticleTitle';
111 $wgHooks['ArticleDelete'][] = 'reverseArticleTitle';
112 $wgHooks['ArticleExport'][] = 'reverseForExport';
113 }
114
115 Having all this code related to the title-reversion option in one place means
116 that it's easier to read and understand; you don't have to do a grep-find to see
117 where the $wgReverseTitle variable is used, say.
118
119 If the code is well enough isolated, it can even be excluded when not used --
120 making for some slight savings in memory and load-up performance at runtime.
121 Admins who want to have all the reversed titles can add:
122
123 require_once 'extensions/ReverseTitle.php';
124
125 ...to their LocalSettings.php file; those of us who don't want or need it can
126 just leave it out.
127
128 The extensions don't even have to be shipped with MediaWiki; they could be
129 provided by a third-party developer or written by the admin him/herself.
130
131 ==Writing hooks==
132
133 A hook is a chunk of code run at some particular event. It consists of:
134
135 * a function with some optional accompanying data, or
136 * an object with a method and some optional accompanying data.
137
138 Hooks are registered by adding them to the global $wgHooks array for a given
139 event. All the following are valid ways to define hooks:
140
141 $wgHooks['EventName'][] = 'someFunction'; # function, no data
142 $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( 'someFunction', $someData );
143 $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( 'someFunction' ); # weird, but OK
144
145 $wgHooks['EventName'][] = $object; # object only
146 $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( $object, 'someMethod' );
147 $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( $object, 'someMethod', $someData );
148 $wgHooks['EventName'][] = array( $object ); # weird but OK
149
150 When an event occurs, the function (or object method) will be called with the
151 optional data provided as well as event-specific parameters. The above examples
152 would result in the following code being executed when 'EventName' happened:
153
154 # function, no data
155 someFunction( $param1, $param2 )
156 # function with data
157 someFunction( $someData, $param1, $param2 )
158
159 # object only
160 $object->onEventName( $param1, $param2 )
161 # object with method
162 $object->someMethod( $param1, $param2 )
163 # object with method and data
164 $object->someMethod( $someData, $param1, $param2 )
165
166 Note that when an object is the hook, and there's no specified method, the
167 default method called is 'onEventName'. For different events this would be
168 different: 'onArticleSave', 'onUserLogin', etc.
169
170 The extra data is useful if we want to use the same function or object for
171 different purposes. For example:
172
173 $wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = array( 'ircNotify', 'TimStarling' );
174 $wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = array( 'ircNotify', 'brion' );
175
176 This code would result in ircNotify being run twice when an article is saved:
177 once for 'TimStarling', and once for 'brion'.
178
179 Hooks can return three possible values:
180
181 * true: the hook has operated successfully
182 * "some string": an error occurred; processing should stop and the error
183 should be shown to the user
184 * false: the hook has successfully done the work necessary and the calling
185 function should skip
186
187 The last result would be for cases where the hook function replaces the main
188 functionality. For example, if you wanted to authenticate users to a custom
189 system (LDAP, another PHP program, whatever), you could do:
190
191 $wgHooks['UserLogin'][] = array( 'ldapLogin', $ldapServer );
192
193 function ldapLogin( $username, $password ) {
194 # log user into LDAP
195 return false;
196 }
197
198 Returning false makes less sense for events where the action is complete, and
199 will normally be ignored.
200
201 Note that none of the examples made use of create_function() as a way to
202 attach a function to a hook. This is known to cause problems (notably with
203 Special:Version), and should be avoided when at all possible.
204
205 ==Using hooks==
206
207 A calling function or method uses the Hooks::run() function to run the hooks
208 related to a particular event, like so:
209
210 class Article {
211 # ...
212 function protect() {
213 global $wgUser;
214 if ( Hooks::run( 'ArticleProtect', array( &$this, &$wgUser ) ) ) {
215 # protect the article
216 Hooks::run( 'ArticleProtectComplete', array( &$this, &$wgUser ) );
217 }
218 }
219 }
220
221 Hooks::run() returns true if the calling function should continue processing
222 (the hooks ran OK, or there are no hooks to run), or false if it shouldn't (an
223 error occurred, or one of the hooks handled the action already). Checking the
224 return value matters more for "before" hooks than for "complete" hooks.
225
226 Hooks::run() was added in MediaWiki 1.18, before that the global function
227 wfRunHooks must be used, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.25.
228
229 Note that hook parameters are passed in an array; this is a necessary
230 inconvenience to make it possible to pass reference values (that can be changed)
231 into the hook code. Also note that earlier versions of wfRunHooks took a
232 variable number of arguments; the array() calling protocol came about after
233 MediaWiki 1.4rc1.

463 'APIQueryInfoTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes instead.
464 Use this hook to add custom tokens to prop=info. Every token has an action,
465 which will be used in the intoken parameter and in the output
466 (actiontoken="..."), and a callback function which should return the token, or
467 false if the user isn't allowed to obtain it. The prototype of the callback
468 function is func($pageid, $title), where $pageid is the page ID of the page the
469 token is requested for and $title is the associated Title object. In the hook,
470 just add your callback to the $tokenFunctions array and return true (returning
471 false makes no sense).
472 $tokenFunctions: array(action => callback)
473
474 'APIQueryRecentChangesTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes
475 instead.
476 Use this hook to add custom tokens to list=recentchanges. Every token has an
477 action, which will be used in the rctoken parameter and in the output
478 (actiontoken="..."), and a callback function which should return the token, or
479 false if the user isn't allowed to obtain it. The prototype of the callback
480 function is func($pageid, $title, $rc), where $pageid is the page ID of the
481 page associated to the revision the token is requested for, $title the
482 associated Title object and $rc the associated RecentChange object. In the
483 hook, just add your callback to the $tokenFunctions array and return true
484 (returning false makes no sense).
485 $tokenFunctions: array(action => callback)
486
487 'APIQueryRevisionsTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes instead.
488 Use this hook to add custom tokens to prop=revisions. Every token has an
489 action, which will be used in the rvtoken parameter and in the output
490 (actiontoken="..."), and a callback function which should return the token, or
491 false if the user isn't allowed to obtain it. The prototype of the callback
492 function is func($pageid, $title, $rev), where $pageid is the page ID of the
493 page associated to the revision the token is requested for, $title the
494 associated Title object and $rev the associated Revision object. In the hook,
495 just add your callback to the $tokenFunctions array and return true (returning
496 false makes no sense).
497 $tokenFunctions: array(action => callback)
498
499 'APIQuerySiteInfoGeneralInfo': Use this hook to add extra information to the
500 sites general information.
501 $module: the current ApiQuerySiteInfo module
502 &$results: array of results, add things here
503
504 'APIQuerySiteInfoStatisticsInfo': Use this hook to add extra information to the
505 sites statistics information.
506 &$results: array of results, add things here
507
508 'ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes': Use this hook to add additional token types to
509 action=query&meta=tokens. Note that most modules will probably be able to use
510 the 'csrf' token instead of creating their own token types.
511 &$salts: array( type => salt to pass to User::getEditToken() )
512
513 'APIQueryUsersTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes instead.
514 Use this hook to add custom token to list=users. Every token has an action,
515 which will be used in the ustoken parameter and in the output
516 (actiontoken="..."), and a callback function which should return the token, or
517 false if the user isn't allowed to obtain it. The prototype of the callback
518 function is func($user) where $user is the User object. In the hook, just add
519 your callback to the $tokenFunctions array and return true (returning false
520 makes no sense).
521 $tokenFunctions: array(action => callback)
522
523 'ApiRsdServiceApis': Add or remove APIs from the RSD services list. Each service
524 should have its own entry in the $apis array and have a unique name, passed as
525 key for the array that represents the service data. In this data array, the
526 key-value-pair identified by the apiLink key is required.
527 &$apis: array of services
528
529 'ApiTokensGetTokenTypes': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes instead.
530 Use this hook to extend action=tokens with new token types.

535 to display a message of a non-existing page being deleted/moved, give extensions
536 a chance to hide their (unrelated) log entries.
