[feature] add hook to parse simple tokens

[Zeromax]

Is it possible to get a hook in the \String::parseSimpleTokens() function?

core/system/modules/core/library/Contao/String.php

Line 484 in d0dc2dc

public static function parseSimpleTokens($strString, $arrData)

I would suggest to optional add the Module Object to the function:

public static function parseSimpleTokens($strString, $arrData, $objModule = null)

All arguments should be passed to the hook and expect $arrData as a return value.

Any other ideas or better suggestion?

What for?

[Zeromax]

To add more tokens to the newsletter subscription mails or the registration mails. Or each core Module which is using the simple tokens. See also #7446 and #7101. In the future this would work like a charm ;)

I want to add some custom things to those mails/text. And for know it is only possible, to add static content which does not work all the time. Or is hard to replace it and so on.

Well $objModule does not make sense because everyone can use the routine without having a module. It would be $context or something.

@aschempp That's right it could be called from anywhere... Haven't thougt about that.

Any Statement to the Feature?

[aschempp]

On the topic of adding more tokens to the newsletter etc, I think parseSimpleTokens would be the wrong place. There are already hooks in Isotope to do that, and if you need them at other places then they should be added there. Because then the context can always be correct and possibly contain more information.

Thanks for your Reply.

So if I get it right you say, that it is better to have a hook inside the module, before the Data is parsed?
That sounds good. Shall I make a new Issue for that and Close this one?

[aschempp]

I don't think a new issue is necessary.

Btw, you should take a look at our notification center, where you can also send registration mails etc but using backend templates.
