Hook chaining?

Hi!

On my installation of MediaWiki I have multiple extensions using the "userCan"-Hook. I had to change the code of this extension as follows:

 // Handles the userCan event.
 // $result = false if the $user is not allowed to execute $action on $title.
 function fnPageSecurityUserCanHook($title, $user, $action, $result) {
-    if (!SecurityManager::userCan($title, $user, $action)) $result = false;
+    if (!SecurityManager::userCan($title, $user, $action)) {
+     $result = false;
+     return false;
+    } else {
+     return true;
+    }
 }

With that change the other hooks get called if the user has permission to execute the current action. For me this works - but is it the standard way to chain hooks? If yes, this patch might be worth to be included in the main source. - 141.41.137.2 11:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

You're probably right. I'll look into it. Thanks. --Fernando Correia 12:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
