Re: Module hooks/calling a specific hook

Just check if an expected hook exists (with xarModIsHooked) and if it does
call the hooked function directly.

eg. in mymodule
...
$hooks = array();
if(xarModIsHooked('ratings', 'mymodule'))
{
    // the xarModFunc call here is from xarModCallHooks. An API call would
take the same arguments.
    $hooks['ratings'] = xarModFunc('ratings',
                                                      'user',
                                                      'display',
                                             array('objectid' => $itemid,
                                                      'extrainfo' =>
xarModURL('mymodule',

'user',

'display',

array('itemid' => $itemid))));
}
