   Hi

   I'm quite familiar with hooking into WordPress. But How do I hook into another plugins functions?

   Thanks in advance

   Just to expand a bit more.

   I'm trying to write a plugin that hooks into Contact Form 7's submit function. There are many extensions for this plugin, so perhaps someone can just give me a brief idea of how to do it?

   Thanks

   //example

   function hello_world(){
   echo 'Hi World!';
   }
   add_action('the_post','hello_world');

   //where the 'the_post' is the hook and the 'hello_world' is the function to be executed.

   Thanks dunhakdis

   That's for plugging into WordPress, but what I was really looking for I managed to find last night after sifting through a lot of code.

   To hook into ANOTHER plugin - in this case it was contact form 7 - and indeed it was as easy as plugging into wordpress:

   add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_function');

   Thanks for your help though :-)

   You can hook into any functions as long as it is supported though :-)
