How to hook to a protected method?

[pogidude]

How do I hook into a protected method from my module? Example, Pages::saved(). This is defined as:

protected function ___saved(Page $page) { }

This is how my module is implemented:

class PageContentFlow extends WireData implements Module{
....
}

is it possible?

Guessing from your question you haven't tried... but yes you can? Protected function also are hookable, but not directly callable as a member function outside the class. It would make no sense to have save hookable indicated by the three underscores, if it wouldn't work.

thanks Soma. yeah, actually I already did try, I wanted to hook to Pages::saved() and had typed Page::saved() instead, which led to a lot of head banging..
