Comment (by MattyRob):
I'm not 100% sure what additional specifics you want but let me try and
explain again a little more clearly.
WordPress has several 'transition' hooks that are called when a post or
page are 'transitioned' from one publication state to another. I think
there should be some consistency to the global variables that are
available.
I am giving an example here that when the draft_to_publish hook is called
the global variables of $post and $post_id are available to plugins
however when hooking to the virtually identical future_to_publish hook
these variables are not available.
The code below is a proof of concept that demonstrates this. The attached
revised patch makes both $post and $post_id available as global variables
to plugins.
{{{
function transition_hook() {
global $post, $post_id;
$email = 'your at email.com';
$message = "Transition Hook was called with $post->ID and
$post_id";
@wp_mail($email, 'Transition Hook Plugin', $message);
}
add_action('draft_to_publish', 'transition_hook');
add_action('future_to_publish', 'transition_hook');
}}}
