Comment	> The hook functions _turba_hook_encode_{attribute} and > _turba_hook_decode_{attribute} always get a copy of the Turba object > since the hook functions are called with call_user_func. It's not > possible to get a reference to the object and thus it isn't possible > to modify the object in the hook function. > > > > For example, I'd like to concatenate the first name and last name and > store that value in the attributes "displayname" and "cn". I'd also > like to construct the "postalAddress" from "street", "postalCode", > "location" etc. > > > > This is only possible if I can get a reference to the Turba object > instead of a copy. Here's an example hook function: > > > > function _turba_hook_encode_firstname($new_value, $old_value, &$turba_object) > > { > > $firstname = $new_value; > > $lastname = $turba_object->getValue('firstname'); > > $name = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname; > > $turba_object->setValue('displayname', $name); > > $turba_object->setValue('cn', $name); > > return $new_value; > > } > > > > I've attached a small patch that replaces call_user_func in > turba/lib/Object.php with direct function calls. > > > > It's highly unlikely that this change will break existing hook > functions. I don't think that anyone has requested a reference to the > Turba object but then expects to get a copy of the object.
