Hook into post_edit_entry function

    Is there a good way to hook into a function? I have some custom code I added to an older version, and I’d like to update the plugin, but don’t want to have to manually add my code after each update. Wondering if there’s a way I can add my own plugin that hooks in after the post_edit_entry” function, and where I can pass the original_entry_id.

    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Good idea. I have added two actions, the first one fires after an entry has been edited and the second one after an entry has been deleted.

    do_action( 'entry_deleted', $entry )

    do_action( 'entry_edited', $old_entry, $new_entry )

    In your case you can use the second hook like so

    add_action('entry_edited','my_entry_edited_function', 10, 2 );
function my_entry_edited_function($old_entry, $new_entry) {
    $original_entry_id = $old_entry['id']
}

    Just an update @tbare. I’ve had to change the name of the hooks implemented due to possible naming collisions. Actions are now called:

    do_action( 'stickylist_entry_deleted', $entry )

    do_action( 'stickylist_entry_edited', $old_entry, $new_entry )

    Watch out for this if you update to 1.4.5+
