Modify pocket content with another plugin?

matt

This discussion is related to the Pockets addon.

Is there a way for my plugin to modify the pocket content?

I want my plugin to replace a tag in the pocket content.

If it's not possible, what sort of hooks or events would I need to add?

Todd

It looks like the pockets plugin doesn't throw any events, but I could add some. Can you explain a bit more about what you want to do so I can see what can be done?

My Countdown plugin replaces a peice of text with a widget. This works for comments but users have requested it work in more areas, such as those provided by pockets.

Basically, I need to replace some text in a pocket with some content of my own.

Does that clarify things?

Todd

Gotcha, let me see what I can do.

matt

Thanks!

Todd

Okay, I've added an event, but I need to back-port it to the current pockets plugin. You'll be able to use it like this:

   public function PocketsPlugin_ToString_Handler($Sender, $Args) {
      $Pocket = $Args['Pocket'];

      if ($Pocket->Name == 'Test pocket...') {
         $Pocket->Body = '<b>Foo</b>';
         $Pocket->Format = 'Raw';
      }
   }

Do you mind testing this version of the Pockets plugin @matt?

Will do ASAP.
