Administration-side events and steps

These are the main events and steps that Textpattern uses as you interact with the administration-side interface. An event is usually the panel or plugin name, e.g. prefs or image. A step is Textpattern terminology for an action that occurs on that panel, for example save or image_edit.

Although they are not direct callbacks, you may hook into these events and steps from a plugin to perform an action.

When raising callbacks of this nature, they are normally run in what is referred to as post mode, i.e. after Textpattern has serviced the routine. You may elect to run it in pre mode so you can intercept the callback before Textpattern services it. This is handy for manipulating submitted data before Textpattern receives it. To do this, set the fourth argument of register_callback() to true.

Note that all steps require a CSRF token to be submitted (see the form_token() and tInput() functions) unless denoted with an asterisk (*) below.
