drupal - What's the point to have hook_mail_alter if I already have hook_mail? -
If I have hook_mail then what does it mean to be hook_mail_alter?
For example, I saw that hook_mail_alter is used to add a footer to my mail message but I can use the hook_mail ()
to add it, Rather than using 2 functions ... what am I missing?
Perhaps this footer is done after adding some other functions are implemented?
hook_mail ()
should be used from a module of its own To change the mail message, while hook_mail_alter ()
should be used from the module to change the message sent by another module.
This is evident from the following code: taken from There are other differences, such as two hooks apply ( drupal_mail ():
// Create an email (get topic and body, additional Allow header) // apply hook_mail () to this module. We can not use module_invoke () // We should have $ message by reference in hook_mail () (function_exists ($ function = $ module 'mail')) {$ function ($ key, $ message, $ Params); } // Invite hook_mail_alter () to change the result as a result of all the modules. Drupal_alter ('mail', $ message);
$ Module
is the first code that has been sent to drupal_mail ()
. It is clear that the function does not apply implementing the hook_mail ()
that enforces every module, but invites the hook for the module calling the function. hook_mail_alter ()
can not set the language for the message, which is hook_mail_alter ()
applied), and the parameters they received ( hook_mail ($ key, & amp; $ message, $ parameter)
vs hook_mail_alter (& amp; $ message)
).
