<p>Bugzilla::Hook - Extendable extension hooks for Bugzilla code</p>

<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="SYNOPSIS"
>SYNOPSIS</a></h1>

<pre  class="code"> use Bugzilla::Hook;

 Bugzilla::Hook::process(&#34;hookname&#34;, { arg =&#62; $value, arg2 =&#62; $value2 });</pre>

<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="DESCRIPTION"
>DESCRIPTION</a></h1>

<p>Bugzilla allows extension modules to drop in and add routines at arbitrary points in Bugzilla code. These points are referred to as hooks. When a piece of standard Bugzilla code wants to allow an extension to perform additional functions, it uses Bugzilla::Hook&#39;s <a href="#process" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;process&#34;</a> subroutine to invoke any extension code if installed.</p>

<p>The implementation of extensions is described in <a href="../Bugzilla/Extension.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Extension</a>.</p>

<p>There is sample code for every hook in the Example extension, located in <em  class="code">extensions/Example/Extension.pm</em>.</p>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="How_Hooks_Work"
>How Hooks Work</a></h2>

<p>When a hook named <code  class="code">HOOK_NAME</code> is run, Bugzilla looks through all enabled <a href="../Bugzilla/Extension.html" class="podlinkpod"
>extensions</a> for extensions that implement a subroutine named <code  class="code">HOOK_NAME</code>.</p>

<p>See <a href="../Bugzilla/Extension.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Extension</a> for more details about how an extension can run code during a hook.</p>

<h1><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="HOOKS"
>HOOKS</a></h1>

<p>This describes what hooks exist in Bugzilla currently. They are mostly in alphabetical order, but some related hooks are near each other instead of being alphabetical.</p>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="admin_editusers_action"
>admin_editusers_action</a></h2>

<p>This hook allows you to add additional actions to the admin Users page.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="vars"
><code  class="code">vars</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>You can add as many new key/value pairs as you want to this hashref. It will be passed to the template.</p>

<dt><a name="action"
><code  class="code">action</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A text which indicates the different behaviors that editusers.cgi will have. With this hook you can change the behavior of an action or add new actions.</p>

<dt><a name="user"
><code  class="code">user</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>This is a Bugzilla::User object of the user.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="attachment_process_data"
>attachment_process_data</a></h2>

<p>This happens at the very beginning process of the attachment creation. You can edit the attachment content itself as well as all attributes of the attachment, before they are validated and inserted into the DB.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a 
><code  class="code">data</code> - A reference pointing either to the content of the file being uploaded or pointing to the filehandle associated with the file.</a></dt>

<dd>
<dt><a 
><code  class="code">attributes</code> - A hashref whose keys are the same as the input to <a href="../Bugzilla/Attachment.html#create" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;create&#34; in Bugzilla::Attachment</a>. The data in this hashref hasn&#39;t been validated yet.</a></dt>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="auth_login_methods"
>auth_login_methods</a></h2>

<p>This allows you to add new login types to Bugzilla. (See <a href="../Bugzilla/Auth/Login.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Auth::Login</a>.)</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="modules"
><code  class="code">modules</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>This is a hash--a mapping from login-type &#34;names&#34; to the actual module on disk. The keys will be all the values that were passed to <a href="../Bugzilla/Auth.html#login" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;login&#34; in Bugzilla::Auth</a> for the <code  class="code">Login</code> parameter. The values are the actual path to the module on disk. (For example, if the key is <code  class="code">DB</code>, the value is <em  class="code">Bugzilla/Auth/Login/DB.pm</em>.)</p>

<p>For your extension, the path will start with <em  class="code">Bugzilla/Extension/Foo/</em>, where &#34;Foo&#34; is the name of your Extension. (See the code in the example extension.)</p>

<p>If your login type is in the hash as a key, you should set that key to the right path to your module. That module&#39;s <code  class="code">new</code> method will be called, probably with empty parameters. If your login type is <i>not</i> in the hash, you should not set it.</p>

<p>You will be prevented from adding new keys to the hash, so make sure your key is in there before you modify it. (In other words, you can&#39;t add in login methods that weren&#39;t passed to <a href="../Bugzilla/Auth.html#login" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;login&#34; in Bugzilla::Auth</a>.)</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="auth_verify_methods"
>auth_verify_methods</a></h2>

<p>This works just like <a href="#auth_login_methods" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;auth_login_methods&#34;</a> except it&#39;s for login verification methods (See <a href="../Bugzilla/Auth/Verify.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Auth::Verify</a>.) It also takes a <code  class="code">modules</code> parameter, just like <a href="#auth_login_methods" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;auth_login_methods&#34;</a>.</p>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="bug_columns"
>bug_columns</a></h2>

<p><b>DEPRECATED</b> Use <a href="#object_columns" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;object_columns&#34;</a> instead.</p>

<p>This allows you to add new fields that will show up in every <a href="../Bugzilla/Bug.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Bug</a> object. Note that you will also need to use the <a href="#bug_fields" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;bug_fields&#34;</a> hook in conjunction with this hook to make this work.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="columns_-_An_arrayref_containing_an_array_of_column_names._Push_your_column_name(s)_onto_the_array."
><code  class="code">columns</code> - An arrayref containing an array of column names. Push your column name(s) onto the array.</a></dt>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="bug_end_of_create"
>bug_end_of_create</a></h2>

<p>This happens at the end of <a href="../Bugzilla/Bug.html#create" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;create&#34; in Bugzilla::Bug</a>, after all other changes are made to the database. This occurs inside a database transaction.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="bug_-_The_created_bug_object."
><code  class="code">bug</code> - The created bug object.</a></dt>

<dd>
<dt><a name="timestamp_-_The_timestamp_used_for_all_updates_in_this_transaction,_as_a_SQL_date_string."
><code  class="code">timestamp</code> - The timestamp used for all updates in this transaction, as a SQL date string.</a></dt>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="bug_end_of_create_validators"
>bug_end_of_create_validators</a></h2>

<p>This happens during <a href="../Bugzilla/Bug.html#create" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;create&#34; in Bugzilla::Bug</a>, after all parameters have been validated, but before anything has been inserted into the database.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="params"
><code  class="code">params</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A hashref. The validated parameters passed to <code  class="code">create</code>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="bug_end_of_update"
>bug_end_of_update</a></h2>

<p>This happens at the end of <a href="../Bugzilla/Bug.html#update" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;update&#34; in Bugzilla::Bug</a>, after all other changes are made to the database. This generally occurs inside a database transaction.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="bug"
><code  class="code">bug</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The changed bug object, with all fields set to their updated values.</p>

<dt><a name="old_bug"
><code  class="code">old_bug</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A bug object pulled from the database before the fields were set to their updated values (so it has the old values available for each field).</p>

<dt><a name="timestamp"
><code  class="code">timestamp</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The timestamp used for all updates in this transaction, as a SQL date string.</p>

<dt><a name="changes"
><code  class="code">changes</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The hash of changed fields. <code  class="code">$changes-&#62;{field} = [old, new]</code></p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="bug_check_can_change_field"
>bug_check_can_change_field</a></h2>

<p>This hook controls what fields users are allowed to change. You can add code here for site-specific policy changes and other customizations.</p>

<p>This hook is only executed if the field&#39;s new and old values differ.</p>

<p>Any denies take priority over any allows. So, if another extension denies a change but yours allows the change, the other extension&#39;s deny will override your extension&#39;s allow.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="bug"
><code  class="code">bug</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p><a href="../Bugzilla/Bug.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Bug</a> - The current bug object that this field is changing on.</p>

<dt><a name="field"
><code  class="code">field</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The name (from the <code  class="code">fielddefs</code> table) of the field that we are checking.</p>

<dt><a name="new_value"
><code  class="code">new_value</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The new value that the field is being changed to.</p>

<dt><a name="old_value"
><code  class="code">old_value</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The old value that the field is being changed from.</p>

<dt><a name="priv_results"
><code  class="code">priv_results</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p><code  class="code">array</code> - This is how you explicitly allow or deny a change. You should only push something into this array if you want to explicitly allow or explicitly deny the change, and thus skip all other permission checks that would otherwise happen after this hook is called. If you don&#39;t care about the field change, then don&#39;t push anything into the array.</p>

<p>The pushed value should be a choice from the following constants:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="PRIVILEGES_REQUIRED_NONE"
><code  class="code">PRIVILEGES_REQUIRED_NONE</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>No privileges required. This explicitly <b>allows</b> a change.</p>

<dt><a name="PRIVILEGES_REQUIRED_REPORTER"
><code  class="code">PRIVILEGES_REQUIRED_REPORTER</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>User is not the reporter, assignee or an empowered user, so <b>deny</b>.</p>

<dt><a name="PRIVILEGES_REQUIRED_ASSIGNEE"
><code  class="code">PRIVILEGES_REQUIRED_ASSIGNEE</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>User is not the assignee or an empowered user, so <b>deny</b>.</p>

<dt><a name="PRIVILEGES_REQUIRED_EMPOWERED"
><code  class="code">PRIVILEGES_REQUIRED_EMPOWERED</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>User is not a sufficiently empowered user, so <b>deny</b>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="bug_fields"
>bug_fields</a></h2>

<p>Allows the addition of database fields from the bugs table to the standard list of allowable fields in a <a href="../Bugzilla/Bug.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Bug</a> object, so that you can call the field as a method.</p>

<p>Note: You should add here the names of any fields you added in <a href="#bug_columns" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;bug_columns&#34;</a>.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="columns_-_A_arrayref_containing_an_array_of_column_names._Push_your_column_name(s)_onto_the_array."
><code  class="code">columns</code> - A arrayref containing an array of column names. Push your column name(s) onto the array.</a></dt>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="bug_format_comment"
>bug_format_comment</a></h2>

<p>Allows you to do custom parsing on comments before they are displayed. You do this by returning two regular expressions: one that matches the section you want to replace, and then another that says what you want to replace that match with.</p>

<p>The matching and replacement will be run with the <code  class="code">/g</code> switch on the regex.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="regexes"
><code  class="code">regexes</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>An arrayref of hashrefs.</p>

<p>You should push a hashref containing two keys (<code  class="code">match</code> and <code  class="code">replace</code>) in to this array. <code  class="code">match</code> is the regular expression that matches the text you want to replace, <code  class="code">replace</code> is what you want to replace that text with. (This gets passed into a regular expression like <code  class="code">s/$match/$replace/</code>.)</p>

<p>Instead of specifying a regular expression for <code  class="code">replace</code> you can also return a coderef (a reference to a subroutine). If you want to use backreferences (using <code  class="code">$1</code>, <code  class="code">$2</code>, etc. in your <code  class="code">replace</code>), you have to use this method--it won&#39;t work if you specify <code  class="code">$1</code>, <code  class="code">$2</code> in a regular expression for <code  class="code">replace</code>. Your subroutine will get a hashref as its only argument. This hashref contains a single key, <code  class="code">matches</code>. <code  class="code">matches</code> is an arrayref that contains <code  class="code">$1</code>, <code  class="code">$2</code>, <code  class="code">$3</code>, etc. in order, up to <code  class="code">$10</code>. Your subroutine should return what you want to replace the full <code  class="code">match</code> with. (See the code example for this hook if you want to see how this actually all works in code. It&#39;s simpler than it sounds.)</p>

<p><b>You are responsible for HTML-escaping your returned data.</b> Failing to do so could open a security hole in Bugzilla.</p>

<dt><a name="text"
><code  class="code">text</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A <b>reference</b> to the exact text that you are parsing.</p>

<p>Generally you should not modify this yourself. Instead you should be returning regular expressions using the <code  class="code">regexes</code> array.</p>

<p>The text has not been parsed in any way. (So, for example, it is not HTML-escaped. You get &#34;&#38;&#34;, not &#34;&#38;amp;&#34;.)</p>

<dt><a name="bug"
><code  class="code">bug</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The <a href="../Bugzilla/Bug.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Bug</a> object that this comment is on. Sometimes this is <code  class="code">undef</code>, meaning that we are parsing text that is not on a bug.</p>

<dt><a name="comment"
><code  class="code">comment</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A <a href="../Bugzilla/Comment.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::Comment</a> object representing the comment you are about to parse.</p>

<p>This allows you to modify the list of users who are going to be receiving a particular bugmail. It also allows you to specify why they are receiving the bugmail.</p>

<p>Users&#39; bugmail preferences will be applied to any users that you add to the list. (So, for example, if you add somebody as though they were a CC on the bug, and their preferences state that they don&#39;t get email when they are a CC, they won&#39;t get email.)</p>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="install_update_db"
>install_update_db</a></h2>

<p>This happens at the very end of all the tables being updated during an installation or upgrade. If you need to modify your custom schema or add new columns to existing tables, do it here. No params are passed.</p>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="install_update_db_fielddefs"
>install_update_db_fielddefs</a></h2>

<p>This is used to update the schema of the fielddefs table before any other schema changes take place. No params are passed.</p>

<p>This hook should only be used for updating the schema of the <code  class="code">fielddefs</code> table. Do not modify any other table in this hook. To modify other tables, use the <a href="#install_update_db" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;install_update_db&#34;</a> hook.</p>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="db_schema_abstract_schema"
>db_schema_abstract_schema</a></h2>

<p>This allows you to add tables to Bugzilla. Note that we recommend that you prefix the names of your tables with some word (preferably the name of your Extension), so that they don&#39;t conflict with any future Bugzilla tables.</p>

<p>If you wish to add new <i>columns</i> to existing Bugzilla tables, do that in <a href="#install_update_db" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;install_update_db&#34;</a>.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<p>This hook allows you to add new &#34;fields&#34; to existing Bugzilla objects, that correspond to columns in their tables.</p>

<p>For example, if you added an <code  class="code">example</code> column to the &#34;bugs&#34; table, you would have to also add an <code  class="code">example</code> field to the <code  class="code">Bugzilla::Bug</code> object in order to access that data via Bug objects.</p>

<dt><a name="columns"
><code  class="code">columns</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>An arrayref. Add the string names of columns to this array to add new values to objects.</p>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="page_before_template"
>page_before_template</a></h2>

<p>This is a simple way to add your own pages to Bugzilla. This hooks <code  class="code">page.cgi</code>, which loads templates from <em  class="code">template/en/default/pages</em>. For example, <code  class="code">page.cgi?id=fields.html</code> loads <em  class="code">template/en/default/pages/fields.html.tmpl</em>.</p>

<p>This hook is called right before the template is loaded, so that you can pass your own variables to your own pages.</p>

<p>You can also use this to implement complex custom pages, by doing your own output and then calling <code  class="code">exit</code> at the end of the hook, thus preventing the normal <code  class="code">page.cgi</code> behavior from occurring.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="page_id"
><code  class="code">page_id</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>This is the name of the page being loaded, like <code  class="code">fields.html</code>.</p>

<p>Note that if two extensions use the same name, it is uncertain which will override the others, so you should be careful with how you name your pages. Usually extensions prefix their pages with a directory named after their extension, so for an extension named &#34;Foo&#34;, page ids usually look like <code  class="code">foo/mypage.html</code>.</p>

<p>Called right after a new product has been created, allowing additional changes to be made to the new product&#39;s attributes. This occurs inside of a database transaction, so if the hook throws an error, all previous changes will be rolled back, including the creation of the new product. (However, note that such rollbacks should not normally be used, as some databases that Bugzilla supports have very bad rollback performance. If you want to validate input and throw errors before the Product is created, use <a href="#object_end_of_create_validators" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;object_end_of_create_validators&#34;</a> instead, or add a validator using <a href="#object_validators" class="podlinkpod"

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'

<p>This hook is called any time Bugzilla processes a template file, including calls to <code  class="code">$template-&#62;process</code>, <code  class="code">PROCESS</code> statements in templates, and <code  class="code">INCLUDE</code> statements in templates. It is not called when templates process a <code  class="code">BLOCK</code>, only when they process a file.</p>

<p>This hook allows you to define additional variables that will be available to the template being processed, or to modify the variables that are currently in the template. It works exactly as though you inserted code to modify template variables at the top of a template.</p>

<p>You probably want to restrict this hook to operating only if a certain file is being processed (which is why you get a <code  class="code">file</code> argument below). Otherwise, modifying the <code  class="code">vars</code> argument will affect every single template in Bugzilla.</p>

<p><b>Note:</b> This hook is not called if you are already in this hook. (That is, it won&#39;t call itself recursively.) This prevents infinite recursion in situations where this hook needs to process a template (such as if this hook throws an error).</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="vars"
><code  class="code">vars</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>This is the entire set of variables that the current template can see. Technically, this is a <a href="../Template/Stash.html" class="podlinkpod"

<dt><a name="file"
><code  class="code">file</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The name of the template file being processed. This is relative to the main template directory for the language (i.e. for <em  class="code">template/en/default/bug/show.html.tmpl</em>, this variable will contain <code  class="code">bug/show.html.tmpl</code>).</p>

<dt><a name="context"
><code  class="code">context</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A <a href="../Template/Context.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Template::Context</a> object. Usually you will not have to use this, but if you need information about the template itself (other than just its name), you can get it from here.</p>

<p>This hook permits you to do extra checks before the creation of a new user account. This hook is called after email address validation has been done. Note that this hook can also access the IP address of the requester thanks to the <code  class="code">remote_ip()</code> subroutine exported by <code  class="code">Bugzilla::Util</code>.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="login"
><code  class="code">login</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The login of the new account. This is usually an email address, unless the <code  class="code">emailsuffix</code> parameter is not empty.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="user_preferences"
>user_preferences</a></h2>

<p>This hook allows you to add additional panels to the User Preferences page, and validate data displayed and returned from these panels. It works in combination with the <code  class="code">tabs</code> hook available in the <em  class="code">template/en/default/account/prefs/prefs.html.tmpl</em> template. To make it work, you must define two templates in your extension: <em  class="code">extensions/Foo/template/en/default/hook/account/prefs/prefs-tabs.html.tmpl</em> contains a list of additional panels to include. <em  class="code">extensions/Foo/template/en/default/account/prefs/bar.html.tmpl</em> contains the content of the panel itself. See the <code  class="code">Example</code> extension to see how things work.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="current_tab"
><code  class="code">current_tab</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The name of the current panel being viewed by the user. You should always make sure that the name of the panel matches what you expect it to be. Else you could be interacting with the panel of another extension.</p>

<dt><a name="save_changes"
><code  class="code">save_changes</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A boolean which is true when data should be validated and the DB updated accordingly. This means the user clicked the &#34;Submit Changes&#34; button.</p>

<dt><a name="handled"
><code  class="code">handled</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>This is a <b>reference</b> to a scalar, not a scalar. (So you would set it like <code  class="code">$$handled = 1</code>, not like <code  class="code">$handled = 1</code>.) Set this to a true value to let Bugzilla know that the passed-in panel is valid and that you have handled it. (Otherwise, Bugzilla will throw an error that the panel is invalid.) Don&#39;t set this to true if you didn&#39;t handle the panel listed in <code  class="code">current_tab</code>.</p>

<dt><a name="vars"
><code  class="code">vars</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>You can add as many new key/value pairs as you want to this hashref. It will be passed to the template.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="webservice"
>webservice</a></h2>

<p>This hook allows you to add your own modules to the WebService. (See <a href="../Bugzilla/WebService.html" class="podlinkpod"
>Bugzilla::WebService</a>.)</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="dispatch"
><code  class="code">dispatch</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A hashref where you can specify the names of your modules and which Perl module handles the functions for that module. (This is actually sent to <a href="../SOAP/Lite.html#dispatch_with" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;dispatch_with&#34; in SOAP::Lite</a>. You can see how that&#39;s used in <em  class="code">xmlrpc.cgi</em>.)</p>

<p>The Perl module name will most likely start with <code  class="code">Bugzilla::Extension::Foo::</code> (where &#34;Foo&#34; is the name of your extension).</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<pre  class="code">  $dispatch-&#62;{&#39;Example.Blah&#39;} = &#34;Bugzilla::Extension::Example::Webservice::Blah&#34;;</pre>

<p>And then you&#39;d have a module <em  class="code">extensions/Example/lib/Webservice/Blah.pm</em>, and could call methods from that module like <code  class="code">Example.Blah.Foo()</code> using the WebServices interface.</p>

<p>It&#39;s recommended that all the keys you put in <code  class="code">dispatch</code> start with the name of your extension, so that you don&#39;t conflict with the standard Bugzilla WebService functions (and so that you also don&#39;t conflict with other plugins).</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="webservice_error_codes"
>webservice_error_codes</a></h2>

<p>If your webservice extension throws custom errors, you can set numeric codes for those errors here.</p>

<p>Extensions should use error codes above 10000, unless they are re-using an already-existing error code.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="error_map"
><code  class="code">error_map</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A hash that maps the names of errors (like <code  class="code">invalid_param</code>) to numbers. See <a href="../Bugzilla/WebService/Constants.html#WS_ERROR_CODE" class="podlinkpod"
>&#34;WS_ERROR_CODE&#34; in Bugzilla::WebService::Constants</a> for an example.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="webservice_fix_credentials"
>webservice_fix_credentials</a></h2>

<p>This hook allows for altering the credential parameters provided by the client before authentication actually occurs. For example, this can be used to allow mapping of custom parameters to the standard Bugzilla_login and Bugzilla_password parameters.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="params"
><code  class="code">params</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A hash ref containing the parameters passed into the webservice after they have been obtained from the URL or body of the request.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="webservice_rest_request"
>webservice_rest_request</a></h2>

<p>This hook allows for altering any of the parameters provided by the client after authentication has occured. You are able to change things like renaming of keys, removing values, or adding additional information.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="params"
><code  class="code">params</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A hash ref containing the parameters passed into the webservice after they have been obtained from the URL or body of the request.</p>

<dt><a name="rpc"
><code  class="code">rpc</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The current JSONRPC, XMLRPC, or REST object.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="webservice_rest_resources"
>webservice_rest_resources</a></h2>

<p>This hook allows for altering of the REST resources data allowing you to add additional paths to perform additional operations or to override the resources already provided by the webservice modules.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="resources"
><code  class="code">resources</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A hash returned from each module loaded that is used to determine which code handler to use based on a regex match of the CGI path.</p>

<dt><a name="rpc"
><code  class="code">rpc</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The current JSONRPC, XMLRPC, or REST object.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="webservice_rest_response"
>webservice_rest_response</a></h2>

<p>This hook allows for altering the result data or response object that is being returned by the current REST webservice call.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="response"
><code  class="code">response</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>The HTTP response object generated by JSON-RPC library. You can use this to add headers, etc.</p>

><code  class="code">result</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A reference to a hash that contains the result data.</p>

<dt><a name="rpc"

</dd>
</dl>

<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="webservice_status_code_map"
>webservice_status_code_map</a></h2>

<p>This hook allows an extension to change the status codes returned by specific webservice errors. The valid internal error codes that Bugzilla generates, and the status codes they map to by default, are defined in the <code  class="code">WS_ERROR_CODE</code> constant in <code  class="code">Bugzilla::WebService::Constants</code>. When remapping an error, you may wish to use an existing status code constant. Such constants are also in <code  class="code">Bugzilla::WebService::Constants</code> and start with <code  class="code">STATUS_*</code> such as <code  class="code">STATUS_BAD_REQUEST</code>.</p>

<p>Params:</p>

<dl>
<dt><a name="status_code_map"
><code  class="code">status_code_map</code></a></dt>

<dd>
<p>A hash reference containing the current status code mapping.</p>
</dd>
