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 $wgUser;
215 if ( Hooks::run( 'ArticleProtect', array( &$this, &$wgUser ) ) ) {
216 # protect the article
217 Hooks::run( 'ArticleProtectComplete', array( &$this, &$wgUser ) );
218 }
219 }
220 }
221
222 Hooks::run() returns true if the calling function should continue processing
223 (the hooks ran OK, or there are no hooks to run), or false if it shouldn't (an
224 error occurred, or one of the hooks handled the action already). Checking the
225 return value matters more for "before" hooks than for "complete" hooks.
226
227 Hooks::run() was added in MediaWiki 1.18, before that the global function
228 wfRunHooks must be used, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.25.
229
230 Note that hook parameters are passed in an array; this is a necessary
231 inconvenience to make it possible to pass reference values (that can be changed)
232 into the hook code. Also note that earlier versions of wfRunHooks took a
233 variable number of arguments; the array() calling protocol came about after
234 MediaWiki 1.4rc1.
235
236 ==Events and parameters==

304
305 'AfterFinalPageOutput': Nearly at the end of OutputPage::output() but
306 before OutputPage::sendCacheControl() and final ob_end_flush() which

358 false and set a message to cancel the request.
359 $module: Module object
360 $user: Current user
361 &$message: API usage message to die with, as a message key or array
362 as accepted by ApiBase::dieUsageMsg.

365 Before saving a page with api.php?action=edit, after
366 processing request parameters. Return false to let the request fail, returning
367 an error message or an <edit result="Failure"> tag if $resultArr was filled.
368 Unlike for example 'EditFilterMergedContent' this also being run on undo.
369 Since MediaWiki 1.25, 'EditFilterMergedContent' can also return error details
370 for the API and it's recommended to use it instead of this hook.
371 $editPage: the EditPage object
372 $text: the text passed to the API. Note that this includes only the single
373 section for section edit, and is not necessarily the final text in case of
374 automatically resolved edit conflicts.
375 &$resultArr: data in this array will be added to the API result
376
377 'ApiFeedContributions::feedItem': Called to convert the result of ContribsPager
378 into a FeedItem instance that ApiFeedContributions can consume. Implementors of
379 this hook may cancel the hook to signal that the item is not viewable in the
380 provided context.
381 $row: A row of data from ContribsPager. The set of data returned by
382 ContribsPager can be adjusted by handling the ContribsPager::reallyDoQuery
383 hook.
384 $context: An IContextSource implementation.
385 &$feedItem: Set this to a FeedItem instance if the callback can handle the
386 provided row. This is provided to the hook as a null, if it is non null then
387 another callback has already handled the hook.
388
389 'ApiFormatHighlight': Use to syntax-highlight API pretty-printed output. When
390 highlighting, add output to $context->getOutput() and return false.

459 'ApiQuery::moduleManager': Called when ApiQuery has finished initializing its
460 module manager. Can be used to conditionally register API query modules.
461 $moduleManager: ApiModuleManager Module manager instance
462
463 'APIQueryAfterExecute': After calling the execute() method of an
464 action=query submodule. Use this to extend core API modules.
465 &$module: Module object
466
467 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery': Called for (some) API query modules after the
468 database query has returned. An API query module wanting to use this hook
469 should see the ApiQueryBase::select() and ApiQueryBase::processRow()
470 documentation.
471 $module: ApiQueryBase module in question
472 $result: ResultWrapper|bool returned from the IDatabase::select()
473 &$hookData: array that was passed to the 'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery' hook and
474 will be passed to the 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow' hook, intended for inter-hook
475 communication.
476
477 'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery': Called for (some) API query modules before a
478 database query is made. WARNING: It would be very easy to misuse this hook and
479 break the module! Any joins added *must* join on a unique key of the target
480 table unless you really know what you're doing. An API query module wanting to
481 use this hook should see the ApiQueryBase::select() and
482 ApiQueryBase::processRow() documentation.
483 $module: ApiQueryBase module in question
484 &$tables: array of tables to be queried
485 &$fields: array of columns to select
486 &$conds: array of WHERE conditionals for query
487 &$query_options: array of options for the database request
488 &$join_conds: join conditions for the tables
489 &$hookData: array that will be passed to the 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery' and
490 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow' hooks, intended for inter-hook communication.
491
492 'ApiQueryBaseProcessRow': Called for (some) API query modules as each row of
493 the database result is processed. Return false to stop processing the result
494 set. An API query module wanting to use this hook should see the
495 ApiQueryBase::select() and ApiQueryBase::processRow() documentation.
496 $module: ApiQueryBase module in question
497 $row: stdClass Database result row
498 &$data: array to be included in the ApiResult.
499 &$hookData: array that was be passed to the 'ApiQueryBaseBeforeQuery' and
500 'ApiQueryBaseAfterQuery' hooks, intended for inter-hook communication.
501
502 'APIQueryGeneratorAfterExecute': After calling the executeGenerator() method of
503 an action=query submodule. Use this to extend core API modules.
504 &$module: Module object
505 &$resultPageSet: ApiPageSet object
506
507 'APIQueryInfoTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes instead.
508 Use this hook to add custom tokens to prop=info. Every token has an action,
509 which will be used in the intoken parameter and in the output
510 (actiontoken="..."), and a callback function which should return the token, or
511 false if the user isn't allowed to obtain it. The prototype of the callback
512 function is func($pageid, $title), where $pageid is the page ID of the page the
513 token is requested for and $title is the associated Title object. In the hook,
514 just add your callback to the $tokenFunctions array and return true (returning
515 false makes no sense).
516 &$tokenFunctions: array(action => callback)
517
518 'APIQueryRecentChangesTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes
519 instead.
520 Use this hook to add custom tokens to list=recentchanges. Every token has an
521 action, which will be used in the rctoken parameter and in the output
522 (actiontoken="..."), and a callback function which should return the token, or
523 false if the user isn't allowed to obtain it. The prototype of the callback
524 function is func($pageid, $title, $rc), where $pageid is the page ID of the
525 page associated to the revision the token is requested for, $title the
526 associated Title object and $rc the associated RecentChange object. In the
527 hook, just add your callback to the $tokenFunctions array and return true
528 (returning false makes no sense).
529 &$tokenFunctions: array(action => callback)
530
531 'APIQueryRevisionsTokens': DEPRECATED! Use ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes instead.
532 Use this hook to add custom tokens to prop=revisions. Every token has an
533 action, which will be used in the rvtoken parameter and in the output

536 function is func($pageid, $title, $rev), where $pageid is the page ID of the
537 page associated to the revision the token is requested for, $title the
538 associated Title object and $rev the associated Revision object. In the hook,

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