Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] custom functions

[Sigurd Nes]

yes it is quite similar - but as I understand it - one can only have one
hook per loaction and there is no method for enabling/disabling the hook
- and there is no interface for including a new hook ohter than "Find
and Register all Application Hooks".
Of course - I might be wrong.
The idea is to make is easy to customize.
