[wp-hackers] Plugin/API (add_action('publish_post')

[Brian Groce]

FYI: This is how you can do it...

function your_function() {

         $prev_status = $_POST['prev_status'];
         $post_status = $_POST['post_status'];

         if (isset($_POST['publish'])) $post_status = 'publish';

         if ($prev_status != 'publish' && $post_status == 'publish') {

           Do things here...
                 }
         }
