hook_action_info

function hook_action_info

hook_action_info()

Declares information about actions.

Any module can define actions, and then call actions_do() to make those actions happen in response to events. The trigger module provides a user interface for associating actions with module-defined triggers, and it makes sure the core triggers fire off actions when their events happen.

An action consists of two or three parts:

• an action definition (returned by this hook)
• a function which performs the action (which by convention is named MODULE_description-of-function_action)
• an optional form definition function that defines a configuration form (which has the name of the action function with '_form' appended to it.)
