[wp-hackers] applying a filter to when a new post is made

[Amit Gupta]

so, if following is my function code


function myFunction($content) 
{
	// do some thing with $content here
	$content = "<strong>".$content."</strong>";
	return $content;
}

 


add_action('publish_post', 'myFunction', 0);
add_action('edit_post', 'myFunction', 0);
will I get the content of the post wrapped between <strong> & </strong>
tags? I was thinking of converting backslashes in the code
sections(HTML, CSS, PHP, JAVA, SQL), as HTML entities, when using
iG:Syntax Hiliter plugin, so that they are displayed as backslashes.
Currently WordPress strips them from the post content, so obviously they
don't appear in the post.

add_action('publish_post', 'functionName', 0);
add_action('edit_post', 'functionName', 0);

Where the functionName is the function you want to happen when
a post is edited or published.  I believe you can pass a $id or
$content type value to this to modify the actual content.  I'm
not entirely positive, however.

Hope that answers your question, in short. I'm sure others will
have more advanced knowledge if necessary.
