{eac}SoftwareRegistry Custom Hooks is an extension plugin to {eac}SoftwareRegistry Software Registration Server.

Using the many hooks available in the Software Registration Server, you can customize the registration server options, incoming API requests, outgoing API responses, and client emails and notifications.

{eac}SoftwareRegistry Custom Hooks allow you to write PHP code for any of the available filters. Through these hooks, you can customize your registration server, validate and/or modify API request and response data, or trigger other actions or functions.

Although this extension includes some pre-built customizations, the main purpose is to allow you (or your programmer) to further customize the Software Registration Server. The extensions included provide all of the ground-work needed so you only need to focus on the actual customizations you need to make.

This custom hooks extension is a developer-level extension which uses your PHP code. To add customizations beyond what is provided requires PHP programming knowledge and basic understanding of WordPress actions and filters.

Implementing Custom Hooks

To implement your customizations:

1. Copy the /eacSoftwareRegistry/Customhooks folder from this plugin folder to your development environment.
2. Modify the appropriate extension(s) [custom_hooks_*.extension.php] found in the Customhooks folder.
3. Upload the /eacSoftwareRegistry/Customhooks folder from your development environment to your WordPress theme folder (preferably a child theme - see: Child Themes).

Example directory structure

/wp-content/themes/my-awesome-theme
    /eacSoftwareRegistry
        /CustomHooks
            custom_hooks_admin_options.extension.php
            custom_hooks_api_request.extension.php
            custom_hooks_api_response.extension.php
            custom_hooks_client_messages.extension.php
            custom_hooks_new_registration.extension.php

The only code changes needed are in the appropriate method(s), within the try...catch block.

For example, if you wanted to customize the assignment of a new registration key, you would modify custom_hooks_new_registration.extension.php; find the new_registry_key() method, and make your changes where you see /* custom code here */:

/**
 * new_registry_key handler
 *
 * @param string $newRegistrationKey The key value (uuid) assigned to a new registration
 * @return string
 */
public function new_registry_key(string $newRegistrationKey): string
{
    global $wp, $wpdb;

    try {
        /* custom code here */
        return $newRegistrationKey;
    } catch (\Throwable $e) {$this->plugin->logError($e);return $newRegistrationKey;}
}

In some cases, default code is provided as both example and preference. If not needed, defaults should be removed or disabled.

WordPress Administration

From the administrator settings screen (found at Software Registry » Settings » Hooks), you may enable or disable each hook independently or as a group (by each extension).

• Each extension is disabled by default and must be enabled from the settings screen.
• For each filter that is customized, the individual hook must be enabled from the settings screen.

For example, after modifying the new_registry_key() method (above), you must go to the settings screen, enable the New Registration Hooks extension and then enable the New Registration Key hook.
