I need hep from someone more experienced with vanilla hooks

I am using DiscussionsController_AfterDiscussionTitle_Handler() in my plugin to add text
but when I am on category listing, this is not fired
any ideas?

This is great! Thanks! I'm getting an error when I try to edit the plugin settings:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function T() in /WWW/publicradio/pijsand01/Garden/plugins/DiscussionExcerpt2/views/discussionexcerpt2.php on line 5

this is because I am using the very latest vanilla2 version

try updating vanilla and check then

It's not firing because that view file is being included from a different class. you've defined your hook as DiscussionsController_Afte... so it's only gonna get called if discussions.php is handling the request. Adding in something like

public function CategoriesController_AfterDiscussionTitle_Handler(&$Sender) {
    $this->DiscussionsController_AfterDiscussionTitle_Handler($Sender);
}

would fix it.

Thanks - I updated to the latest files on Git and it works!
