Hi:
How to make my plugin works on every page except the backend web pages?
Should I add a method named Base_Render_Before(&$Sender) in my plugin?
Thanks.

Sure, but not within a couple of hours. First post : 4:56 AM, second post : 5:06 AM, last post : 9:25 AM. Give it some time. Also post your VANILLA VERSION.

no for any function...

you should always use ($Sender) not (&$Sender)

hgtonight

I would suggest looking at others' work in the addons section for inspiration.

Or just inspect the $Sender variable to see what is in there.

//This is a common hook that fires for all controllers on the Render method
public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
  // only execute on controllers that aren't using the dashboard view
  if($Sender->MasterView != 'admin') {
    // interesting code would go here

  }
}

To re-iterate @peregrine's point. Do not explicitly pass a variable by reference. PHP implicitly passes objects by reference. To wit, using &$Sender is unsupported in the 2.1 branch.

Yes always use ($Sender) . We are changing all plugins to not have & .

You should update to 2.0.18.8 for security reasons.

Hi:
I referenced your code to make my code more strong:
if (($_REQUEST['p'] && strpos($_REQUEST['p'], '/dashboard') === 0) || $Sender->MasterView == 'admin') { //filter the backend page

Thanks!
