MyBB Community Forums

hi, i'm working on making a latest posts plugin that doesn't completely suck (see this lmao), and basically it stores the threads in cache (i'm using redis not that that matters), so i need to update the cache whenever the latest posts change, eg. the posts/threads get deleted or something.

i've tried the following hooks, but for some reason they run before the action takes place and i get the results for before the action takes place.



is there like, a way i can hook into whenever a post changes or something?

Where does that query come from? If that's stock MyBB you should report a bug.

You could simply set an invalid flag for the cache there and update it later when actually someone wants to know...

that's a really good idea, thanks.

in the end i added my own hook to log_moderator_action(), which has worked perfectly so far. but if i was developing the plugin for use in more than one forum, i'd definitely go with what you suggested.

I was also going to suggest just using the core_edit() feature of PluginLibrary and add your own hook in manually where you needed it to run. Would be a pretty simple core edit and it wouldn't break anything I don't think.
