October 5, 2016 — Talk about the advantages of using/adding hooks. How it massively helps pushing features to a large codebase/theme become a cinch, when is the best time to add a hook and where you can usually best place a hook.

August 16, 2016 — Hooks give end users a chance to write custom code that safely alters the behavior of WordPress core, plugins and themes – all without modifying the core, plugin or theme code itself.

In this talk, we’ll go over basic usage of WordPress hooks, and we’ll explore ways to find the right hook when you have a need for custom functionality. We’ll also talk about how easy it is to create your own hooks, and how important it is to do so when creating plugins and themes.

Take aways:

Learn how WordPress is listening for you to run your own code at certain key points.
Safely alter or add to the behavior of WordPress core, themes, and plugins.
Give others a chance to expand upon your own code as they see fit.

August 1, 2016 — I denne præsentation vil prøve at give en introduktion WP Plugin API’et, så andre kan begynde at lære at lave plugins. Ofte i WordPress ser man ofte løsningen med en child-theme, men der ville jeg i de fleste tilfælde hellere udvikle et lille plugin via. hooks.

Jeg vil prøve kort at beskrive, hvordan jeg arbejder med API’et til dagligt, og eksempler fra den virkelige verden og fra virkelige kunder.

February 20, 2016 — Hooks are one thing which intermediate programmers struggle with the most. Mastering actions and filters will elevate intermediate developers to advanced ones. However, much of the documentation about hooks are hard to understand, and the standard examples are insufficient. I’m a big fan of putting a different spin on lectures and using analogies which no one else has in order to make things more understandable. I explain the difference between the two by drawing a parallel to a shopping trip. Filters are when my wife calls me to ask me to pick something new up from the store I’m going to; actions are when she asks me to go to a completely different store. I then go into how to use hooks from a developer side – add_action and add_filter – as well as how to use them from a “builder” side – apply_filters and do_action.

February 7, 2016 — Es gibt Standard Hooks/Actions in den Themes. Es gibt viele Themes, die sehr viele Hooks anbieten und es gibt immer noch eine Gruppierung, die diese Hooks verallgemeinern mag und es gibt WP-Theme EntwicklerInnen, die dies total ablehnen. Vor-Nachteile. Diskussionsgrundlage. Meinungsbildung.
