¿How to use Hooks?

[Xefiron]

I create a fairly simple function to do the test

Code: [Select]

function say_hello() {
  echo 'Hello';
}
osc_add_hook('pre_item_post', 'say_hello');

But, when I insert the following code into a form

Code: [Select]

<?php osc_run_hook('pre_item_post'); ?>
The form filled me with codes and error messages, they entered the "Hello" I expected. How am I supposed to call only the Hook that I'm interested in? I'm particularly worried because I want to use the "posted_item" Hook that will run when I post an ad and I do not want all the hooks that are of the type "posted_item" to load.

May i ask why you need an hook?

If you have the function in function.php or in a plugin you can call directly the function

Code: [Select]

<?php say_hello(); ?>
If you really need an hook you can see this post https://forums.osclass.org/plugins/create-a-new-hook/msg150455/#msg150455

Could I do that? I guess I'll try. Thanks for your reply.

Edit: I can say that I have actually been able to call the functions in the way you mention. However, I still need to be able to capture a data at the moment a post is made.

May i ask why you need an hook?

Because I want to be able to retrieve the $ itemId of an ad at the moment it is public, since one of my main functions performs a record in a table at the moment the post of an advertisement is made.

Hello,

You may want to check the code of some of the free attribute plugins. They capture data from fields on an item and save them to a table on publish.
