Change behavior of ProcessList.module with hooks

[Orkun]

Hi Guys

I have a question about the ProcessList.module in /wire/modules/. When I add a summary field to the admin template, the module takes the value of the summary field and outputs it, when it doesn't find a summary field it takes the summary value of the getModuleInfo(). How can I alter the behavior of ProcessList::render with Hooks so that I can also use another field than summary?

Hi Nukro,

The only hookable method is ProcessList::execute(). This means you'd have to hook after this method and copy all logic which is a lot of code to duplicate. Another approach that could work is something like this:

1. Hook before ProcessList::execute() and temporarily assign the content of your desired field to the summary field
2. Hook after ProcessList::execute() and undo the above again

Cheers

@Nukro,

 

How about using kongondo's wonder-field module (instead of a summary field) and have it access the value you want?
