API
[edit]1. ApiMarkAsHelpful - allows a user to mark/unmark an item as helpful
2. ApiGetMarkAsHelpfulItem - gets a list of users who marked the item as helpful
See the extension API files for detail information on the API parameters and output format
Hook
[edit]There are two variables in the API that control mark as helpful permissions:
1 $isAbleToMark - check if current user has permission to mark the item 2 $isAbleToShow - check if the page has permission to request the item
Both variables are false by default and the 'onMarkItemAsHelpful' hook allows users to re-define the values of these two variables, the hook function should be like:
public static function onMarkItemAsHelpful( $type, $item, $user, &$isAbleToMark, $page, &$isAbleToShow ) {
if ( $type == 'mbresponse' ) { //replace 'mbresponse' with the type that you define
// code logic to re-define the boolean value for $isAbleToMark & $isAbleToShow
}
return true;
}
