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', 'PageContentSave',
14 'PageContentSaveComplete', '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['PageContentSaveComplete'][] = array( 'ircNotify', 'TimStarling' );
174 $wgHooks['PageContentSaveComplete'][] = 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 * No return value (or null): the hook has operated successfully. Previously,
182 true was required. This is the default since MediaWiki 1.23.
183 * "some string": an error occurred; processing should stop and the error
184 should be shown to the user
185 * false: the hook has successfully done the work necessary and the calling
186 function should skip
187
188 The last result would be for cases where the hook function replaces the main
189 functionality. For example, if you wanted to authenticate users to a custom
190 system (LDAP, another PHP program, whatever), you could do:
191
192 $wgHooks['UserLogin'][] = array( 'ldapLogin', $ldapServer );
193
194 function ldapLogin( $username, $password ) {
195 # log user into LDAP
196 return false;
197 }
198
199 Returning false makes less sense for events where the action is complete, and
200 will normally be ignored.
201
202 Note that none of the examples made use of create_function() as a way to
203 attach a function to a hook. This is known to cause problems (notably with
204 Special:Version), and should be avoided when at all possible.
205
206 ==Using hooks==
207
208 A calling function or method uses the Hooks::run() function to run the hooks
209 related to a particular event, like so:
210
211 class Article {
212 # ...
213 function protect() {
214 global $wgUser;
215
216 // Avoid PHP 7.1 warning from passing $this by reference
217 $article = $this;
218
219 if ( Hooks::run( 'ArticleProtect', [ &$article, &$wgUser ] ) ) {
220 # protect the article
221 Hooks::run( 'ArticleProtectComplete', [ &$article, &$wgUser ] );
222 }
223 }
224 }
225
226 Hooks::run() returns true if the calling function should continue processing
227 (the hooks ran OK, or there are no hooks to run), or false if it shouldn't (an
228 error occurred, or one of the hooks handled the action already). Checking the
229 return value matters more for "before" hooks than for "complete" hooks.
230
231 Hooks::run() was added in MediaWiki 1.18, before that the global function
232 wfRunHooks must be used, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.25.
233
234 Note that hook parameters are passed in an array; this is a necessary
235 inconvenience to make it possible to pass reference values (that can be changed)
236 into the hook code. Also note that earlier versions of wfRunHooks took a
237 variable number of arguments; the array() calling protocol came about after
238 MediaWiki 1.4rc1.
239

334 ( EditPage::getPreviewText() ).
335 Return false and set $previewHTML and $parserOutput to output custom page
336 preview HTML.
337 $editPage: the EditPage object
338 &$content: the Content object for the text field from the edit page
339 &$previewHTML: Text to be placed into the page for the preview
340 &$parserOutput: the ParserOutput object for the preview
341
342 'AlternateUserMailer': Called before mail is sent so that mail could be logged
343 (or something else) instead of using PEAR or PHP's mail(). Return false to skip
344 the regular method of sending mail. Return a string to return a php-mail-error
345 message containing the error. Returning true will continue with sending email
346 in the regular way.

362 false and set a message to cancel the request.
363 $module: Module object
364 $user: Current user
365 &$message: API message to die with. Specific values accepted depend on the
366 MediaWiki version:
367 * 1.29+: IApiMessage, Message, string message key, or key+parameters array to
368 pass to ApiBase::dieWithError().
369 * 1.27+: IApiMessage, or a key or key+parameters in ApiBase::$messageMap.
370 * Earlier: A key or key+parameters in ApiBase::$messageMap.
371
372 'ApiDeprecationHelp': Add messages to the 'deprecation-help' warning generated
373 from ApiBase::addDeprecation().

375 joined with spaces.
376
377 'APIEditBeforeSave': DEPRECATED! Use EditFilterMergedContent instead.
378 Before saving a page with api.php?action=edit, after
379 processing request parameters. Return false to let the request fail, returning
380 an error message or an <edit result="Failure"> tag if $resultArr was filled.
381 Unlike for example 'EditFilterMergedContent' this also being run on undo.
382 Since MediaWiki 1.25, 'EditFilterMergedContent' can also return error details
383 for the API and it's recommended to use it instead of this hook.
384 $editPage: the EditPage object
385 $text: the text passed to the API. Note that this includes only the single
386 section for section edit, and is not necessarily the final text in case of
387 automatically resolved edit conflicts.

389
390 'ApiFeedContributions::feedItem': Called to convert the result of ContribsPager
391 into a FeedItem instance that ApiFeedContributions can consume. Implementors of
392 this hook may cancel the hook to signal that the item is not viewable in the
393 provided context.
394 $row: A row of data from ContribsPager. The set of data returned by
395 ContribsPager can be adjusted by handling the ContribsPager::reallyDoQuery
396 hook.
397 $context: An IContextSource implementation.
398 &$feedItem: Set this to a FeedItem instance if the callback can handle the
399 provided row. This is provided to the hook as a null, if it is non null then
400 another callback has already handled the hook.
401
402 'ApiFormatHighlight': Use to syntax-highlight API pretty-printed output. When
403 highlighting, add output to $context->getOutput() and return false.

473 module manager. Can be used to conditionally register API query modules.
474 $moduleManager: ApiModuleManager Module manager instance
475
476 'APIQueryAfterExecute': After calling the execute() method of an
477 action=query submodule. Use this to extend core API modules.
478 &$module: Module object
479
480 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery': Called for (some) API query modules after the
481 database query has returned. An API query module wanting to use this hook
482 should see the ApiQueryBase::select() and ApiQueryBase::processRow()
483 documentation.
484 $module: ApiQueryBase module in question
485 $result: ResultWrapper|bool returned from the IDatabase::select()
486 &$hookData: array that was passed to the 'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery' hook and
487 will be passed to the 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow' hook, intended for inter-hook
488 communication.
489
490 'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery': Called for (some) API query modules before a
491 database query is made. WARNING: It would be very easy to misuse this hook and
492 break the module! Any joins added *must* join on a unique key of the target
493 table unless you really know what you're doing. An API query module wanting to
494 use this hook should see the ApiQueryBase::select() and
495 ApiQueryBase::processRow() documentation.
496 $module: ApiQueryBase module in question
497 &$tables: array of tables to be queried
498 &$fields: array of columns to select
499 &$conds: array of WHERE conditionals for query
500 &$query_options: array of options for the database request
501 &$join_conds: join conditions for the tables
502 &$hookData: array that will be passed to the 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery' and
503 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow' hooks, intended for inter-hook communication.
504
505 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow': Called for (some) API query modules as each row of
506 the database result is processed. Return false to stop processing the result
507 set. An API query module wanting to use this hook should see the
508 ApiQueryBase::select() and ApiQueryBase::processRow() documentation.
509 $module: ApiQueryBase module in question
510 $row: stdClass Database result row
511 &$data: array to be included in the ApiResult.

513 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery' hooks, intended for inter-hook communication.
514
515 'APIQueryGeneratorAfterExecute': After calling the executeGenerator() method of
516 an action=query submodule. Use this to extend core API modules.
517 &$module: Module object
518 &$resultPageSet: ApiPageSet object
519
520 'APIQueryInfoTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes instead.
521 Use this hook to add custom tokens to prop=info. Every token has an action,
522 which will be used in the intoken parameter and in the output
523 (actiontoken="..."), and a callback function which should return the token, or
524 false if the user isn't allowed to obtain it. The prototype of the callback
525 function is func($pageid, $title), where $pageid is the page ID of the page the
526 token is requested for and $title is the associated Title object. In the hook,
527 just add your callback to the $tokenFunctions array and return true (returning
528 false makes no sense).
529 &$tokenFunctions: array(action => callback)
530
531 'APIQueryRecentChangesTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes
532 instead.
533 Use this hook to add custom tokens to list=recentchanges. Every token has an
534 action, which will be used in the rctoken parameter and in the output
535 (actiontoken="..."), and a callback function which should return the token, or

537 function is func($pageid, $title, $rc), where $pageid is the page ID of the
538 page associated to the revision the token is requested for, $title the
539 associated Title object and $rc the associated RecentChange object. In the

569 and key to pass to Session::getToken() )
570
571 'APIQueryUsersTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes instead.
572 Use this hook to add custom token to list=users. Every token has an action,

575 false if the user isn't allowed to obtain it. The prototype of the callback
576 function is func($user) where $user is the User object. In the hook, just add
577 your callback to the $tokenFunctions array and return true (returning false
578 makes no sense).
