Why is ProcessPageAdd::execute() method hookable?

[pogidude]

Just wondering what the idea behind why ProcessPageAdd::___execute() method is hookable? Example of situation where I might want to use it?

Well no reason behind I think, all core Process modules execute() are hookable whether useful or not. I this case you could replace the add form with your own, what else But to be honest it would be better if buildForm() would be hookable, but nobody needed it so far so it's not. The thing is the execute() returns the form rendered already so you can't manipulate it using OOP.

Soma's right.

Every Process module extends from the abstract class Process and overwrites the execute method which is hookable.

This might not be useful for ProcessPageAdd, but for other modules.

In: /wire/core/Process.php

	/**
	 * Execute this Process and return the output 
	 *
	 * @return string
	 *
	 */
	public function ___execute() { }
