Trigger a custom event when addCustomContentHooks is called to allow themes and plugin developers to add their own custom content hooks.

Usage example:

jQuery(document).on('qTranslateX:addCustomContentHooks', function(event, qtx, form) {

    jQuery('.acf-field-text .acf-input-wrap input').each(function() {
        qtx.addContentHookById(this.id, form);
    });

});

Hi Tim, this is an interesting idea - thank you. I am also trying to implement the best possible way to integrate and that is being developed like every day. Have you seen the code of plugins:

https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/woocommerce-qtranslate-x
https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/wp-seo-qtranslate-x
https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/events-made-easy-qtranslate-x

The last one, events-made-easy, is incomplete, but it has the most of comments and explanations, since I was preparing it for the author of Events Made Easy (https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/) to finish the code.

The idea is that, eventually, users and plugin authors will be able to submit a custom configuration as an xml or json text or file, which will describe the fields need to be translatable. For now, we code the array needed and submit it through a hook.

I believe you can achieve what you need with already existent hooks, following the pattern of the plugins mentioned above.

Please, take a look and let me know what you think.

Hi Tim, were you able to complete all what you need? Which plugin is that? Should I listed it on the Description page as an example of integration?

The qtranslate_load_admin_page_config filter did the job splendidly. The plugin's called ACF qTranslate and absolutely feel free to put it as an example.
