Message hooks in Privatemsg 6

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 6.2 privatemsg.api.php \message_hooks
2. 7.2 privatemsg.api.php \message_hooks
3. 7 privatemsg.api.php \message_hooks

All message-level hooks look like hook_privatemsg_message_op, where op is one of the following:

• load: Called when a full message is loaded similiar to nodeapi_load, new values can be returned and will be added to $message, parameter: $message
• validate: Validation, before the message is sent/saved. Return validation errors as array, parameter: $message, $form = FALSE
• presave_alter: Last changes to $message before the message is saved, parameter: $message
• insert: message has been saved, $message has been updated with the mid and thread_id, parameter: $message
• delete: the message is going to be deleted, parameter: $message
• view_alter: the message is going to be displayed, parameter: $vars

In hooks with _alter suffix, $message is by reference.

$message is an array, with all the relevant information about the message. The information in there can be changed/extended by modules, but looks typically like this:

array (
  'mid' => 3517, // message id, identifies a message
  'author' => 27, // author id
  'subject' => 'raclebugav', // Message subject
  'body' => 'bla bla', // Body of the message
  'timestamp' => 351287003, // unix timestamp, creation time
  'is_new' => 0, // If the message has been read by the user
  'thread_id' => 3341, // thread id, this is actually the mid from the first
                          message of the thread
)
