It will add a message to the top of the page, before the theme's HTML begins (not very useful, but you get the idea). <?php // Define hooks hook( "site_begin", "sayHello" ); // Functions function sayHello() { echo '<h1>Hello world!</h1>'; } ?> text/html 2011-05-03T03:52:16-07:00 http://thesecretary.org/guide/plugins/advanced-plugins?rev=1304419936&do=diff Plugins can be much more complex, and can grow to include a large set of many different functions to accomplish various tasks. This article covers how to pass values to your plugin functions, control runtime order, and most importantly, modify data supplied by an anchor. text/html 2011-05-03T05:38:04-07:00 http://thesecretary.org/guide/plugins/anchors?rev=1304426284&do=diff Backend * start * head_tags * css * javascript * menu * after_menu * breadcrumbActive * big_message * before_form * form_process * form_submit_primary * form_submit_secondary * after_form * end * dashboard * settings_menu text/html 2011-05-03T04:24:13-07:00 http://thesecretary.org/guide/plugins/call_anchor?rev=1304421853&do=diff Description “Calls an anchor”: sets up a callback for plugins.

This makes sure that all anchors are registered immediately with the system on runtime. This also lets others easily see what anchors are available in your plugin without having to read through your code or crappy documentation. text/html 2011-05-03T04:09:30-07:00 http://thesecretary.org/guide/plugins/hook?rev=1304420970&do=diff Description Use this function to hook (attach) your plugin's function(s) to anchors (actions, filters) in the core code (or other plugins).
