Same filename and directory in other branches
  1. 6.3 hooks/emfield.php
  2. 6.2 hooks/emfield.php

Document various hooks for Embedded Media Field.

These hooks generally follow the standards for hook invocations with Drupal, with hook_[module]_[hookname]. To invoke a hook, you would replace hook_ with your invoking module name.

For instance, to implement hook_emfield_system_list with a module named 'mymodule', you would create function mymodule_emfield_system_list().

However, Embedded Media Field also provides a unique hook structure for its provider files, following the pattern: hook [emmodule]_[provider]_[hookname]. For instance, if you create a provider for the http://example.com, with a provider name of 'example', you might implement hook emvideo_PROVIDER_settings as function emvideo_example_settings().
