Simple File List includes numerous hooks you can use in order to extend its functionality and integration with your theme or other plugins. In addition knowing when an action occurred, SFL custom hooks also return an array containing messages related to the action process.

File Uploads Hooks

These hooks will fire after a successful file upload job. There is one for the front-end and one for the back-end.

eeSFL_Hook_Uploaded
eeSFL_Admin_Hook_Uploaded

How to Use the Hooks

To make your theme do something special when SFL fires hooks, add something like this to your child theme’s functions.php file.

// add_action('The Hook Name', 'Your Function Name', Priority, Number of Arguments)
add_action('eeSFL_Hook_Uploaded', 'eeHookTestOutput', 10, 1);

Then write a function to do whatever you want when the action occurs and the hook is fired.

// When the hook is fired, add_action() calls this function
// Writes output to /wp-content/debug.log
function eeHookTestOutput($eeMessages) {
     
     error_log('Hook Fired'); 

     foreach($eeMessages as $eeMessage) {
          
           error_log($eeMessage);
     }
}
