* The plugin API is located in this file, which allows for creating actions
4
* and filters and hooking functions, and methods. The functions or methods will
5
* then be run when the action or filter is called.
7
* The API callback examples reference functions, but can be methods of classes.
8
* To hook methods, you'll need to pass an array one of two ways.
10
* Any of the syntaxes explained in the PHP documentation for the
11
* {@link http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.pseudo-types.php#language.types.callback 'callback'}
14
* Also see the {@link http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API Plugin API} for
15
* more information and examples on how to use a lot of these functions.
23
* Hooks a function or method to a specific filter action.
25
* Filters are the hooks that WordPress launches to modify text of various types
26
* before adding it to the database or sending it to the browser screen. Plugins
27
* can specify that one or more of its PHP functions is executed to
28
* modify specific types of text at these times, using the Filter API.
30
* To use the API, the following code should be used to bind a callback to the
34
* function example_hook($example) { echo $example; }
35
* add_filter('example_filter', 'example_hook');
38
* In WordPress 1.5.1+, hooked functions can take extra arguments that are set
39
* when the matching do_action() or apply_filters() call is run. The
40
* $accepted_args allow for calling functions only when the number of args
41
* match. Hooked functions can take extra arguments that are set when the
42
* matching do_action() or apply_filters() call is run. For example, the action
43
* comment_id_not_found will pass any functions that hook onto it the ID of the
46
* <strong>Note:</strong> the function will return true no matter if the
47
* function was hooked fails or not. There are no checks for whether the
48
* function exists beforehand and no checks to whether the <tt>$function_to_add
49
* is even a string. It is up to you to take care and this is done for
50
* optimization purposes, so everything is as quick as possible.
55
* @global array $wp_filter Stores all of the filters added in the form of

689

690
* the hook, which this function was called for.
692
* This function is used internally for apply_filters(), do_action(), and
693
* do_action_ref_array() and is not meant to be used from outside those
694
* functions. This function does not check for the existence of the all hook, so
695
* it will fail unless the all hook exists prior to this function call.

* @uses $wp_filter Used to process all of the functions in the 'all' hook
704
* @param array $args The collected parameters from the hook that was called.
705
* @param string $hook Optional. The hook name that was used to call the 'all' hook.

* Build Unique ID for storage and retrieval.
722
* The old way to serialize the callback caused issues and this function is the
723
* solution. It works by checking for objects and creating an a new property in
724
* the class to keep track of the object and new objects of the same class that
727
* It also allows for the removal of actions and filters for objects after they
728
* change class properties. It is possible to include the property $wp_filter_id
729
* in your class and set it to "null" or a number to bypass the workaround.
730
* However this will prevent you from adding new classes and any new classes
731
* will overwrite the previous hook by the same class.
733
* Functions and static method callbacks are just returned as strings and
734
* shouldn't have any speed penalty.

744
* @param callback $function Used for creating unique id
745
* @param int|bool $priority Used in counting how many hooks were applied. If === false and $function is an object reference, we return the unique id only if it already has one, false otherwise.
746
* @return string|bool Unique ID for usage as array key or false if $priority === false and $function is an object reference, and it does not already have a unique id.
