​Calendar Event Class Hooks

./calendar.event.php

​calendar_event_end

Add additional processing after an event has been created.

ee()->extensions->call(
	'calendar_event_end',
	$this
);
  • $this - Event object.

​Calendar Parameter Class Hooks

./calendar.parameters.php

​calendar_parameters_valid_values

Allows you to modify valid values coming into the parameter checker.

$valid_values = ee()->extensions->call(
	'calendar_parameters_valid_values',
	$valid_values
);
if (ee()->extensions->end_script === TRUE) return;
  • $valid_values - a starting array of valid values for passed in params.
$valid_values = array(
  'required'			=> array(FALSE, TRUE),
  'type'				=> array(
    'string',
    'integer',
    'number',
    'date',
    'time',
    'bool'
  ),
  'multi'				=> array(FALSE, TRUE),
  'method'			=> array(
    'tmpl',
    'GET',
    'POST',
    'cookie'
  ),
  'case_sensitive'	=> array(FALSE, TRUE)
);
  • Returns: array - manipulated valid param array.

​calendar_parameters_default_values

Allows you to modify default values coming into the parameter checker.

$default = ee()->extensions->call(
	'calendar_parameters_default_values',
	$default
);
if (ee()->extensions->end_script === TRUE) return;
  • $default - a starting array of valid values for passed in params.
$default = array(
  'name'				=> $name,
  'required'			=> FALSE,
  'type'				=> array('string'),
  'default'			=> '',
  'multi'				=> FALSE,
  'min_value'			=> FALSE,
  'max_value'			=> FALSE,
  'allowed_values'	=> array(),
  'method'			=> $this->choose_method($name),
  'case_sensitive'	=> FALSE,
  'not'				=> FALSE
);
  • Returns: array - Manipulated default param array.

​calendar_parameters_additional_method

Add an additional fetching method to the fetch_value method.

Note: this will not override previously named fetch types of tmpl, GET, POST, cookie when the variable looked for is available in the passed array.

For example, given the function called like so:

$P = new Calendar_parameters();
$value = $P->fetch_value('my_variable', 'POST');

And given that $_POST['my_variable'] is available, then the hook will not be called. However, if $_POST['my_variable'] is not available, the hook will be called and give the extension a chance to provide a variable.

This can be used to effectively give defaults in situations where an input is absolutely expected to be present or else a method will return 0 results.

$value = ee()->extensions->call(
	'calendar_parameters_additional_method',
	$method,
	$name
);
  • $method - the method that is being searched for the name. Default types available are: tmpl, GET, POST, cookie, where tmpl is looking for template tag parameters.
  • $name - the name of the value being searched for.
  • returns mixed - you must return a value for this function. If you only wish to observe a missed value and not to return anything unless a certain criteria is met, return boolean FALSE.

​calendar_parameters_additional_type_validation

return ee()->extensions->call(
	'calendar_parameters_additional_type_validation',
	$value,
	$details
);

​Calendar Module Control Panel Class Hooks

./mcp.calendar.php

​calendar_delete_events

Perform additional actions before calendar entry deletion.

$edata = ee()->extensions->call(
	'calendar_delete_events',
	$this
);
if (ee()->extensions->end_script === TRUE) return;

This is called expecting $_POST['delete'] to be a numeric ID or an array of IDS of calendar events that is then sent to the Publish->delete_events() in ExpressionEngine 1.x or api_channel_entries->delete_entry() in ExpressionEngine 2.x.

Once channel entries are deleted, any extra calendar event data and rules are deleted.

  • $this - the Calendar Module Control Panel object instance.
