Examples

Creating a Logic Hook using the Extension Framework

./custom/Extension/modules/<module>/Ext/LogicHooks/<file>.php

<?php

    $hook_array['after_delete'][] = Array(
        //Processing index. For sorting the array.
        1, 

        //Label. A string value to identify the hook.
        'after_delete example', 

        //The PHP file where your class is located.
        'custom/modules/<module>/logic_hooks_class.php', 

        //The class the method is in.
        'logic_hooks_class', 

        //The method to call.
        'after_delete_method' 
    );

?>

./custom/modules/<module>/logic_hooks_class.php

<?php

    if (!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

    class logic_hooks_class
    {
        function after_delete_method($bean, $event, $arguments)
        {
            //logic
        }
    }

?>

Creating a Core Logic Hook

Prior to Sugar 6.3.x, logic hooks could only be created using the following method. Please note that this approach is still valid but is not recommended when building plugins as it may conflict with existing customizations.

./custom/modules/<module>/logic_hooks.php

<?php

   $hook_version = 1;
   $hook_array = Array();

   $hook_array['after_delete'] = Array();
   $hook_array['after_delete'][] = Array(
      //Processing index. For sorting the array.
      1, 

      //Label. A string value to identify the hook.
      'after_delete example', 

      //The PHP file where your class is located.
      'custom/modules/<module>/after_delete_class.php', 

      //The class the method is in.
      'after_delete_class', 

      //The method to call.
      'after_delete_method' 
   );

?>

./custom/modules/<module>/after_delete_class.php

<?php

   if (!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');

   class after_delete_class
   {
      function after_delete_method($bean, $event, $arguments)
      {
         //logic
      }
   }

?>
