The $this of the category trigger and of the product trigger are not the same. So it's not consistent. 2. The existing plugins which already implement these triggers will crash if called with these additional parameters if the persons developing them don't modify their code. So doing that would hinder backward compatibility. But I see the possible applications of adding such parameters in the trigger and that indeed sound interesting. Do you have any suggestions regarding these points ?

The 2 triggers are different, so would not be an issue. In the plugin the functions could be defined as: Code: function onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters, &$order, &$productView){...} function onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters, &$order, &$categoryView){...} 2. In my installations (currently 5.3) PHP handles variable parameters lists with additional parameters being ignored by the interpreter. Only if one where to be removed would there be a problem. I have tested this with the following code and it worked fine: Code: ... $dispatcher->trigger( 'onBeforeProductListingLoad', array( & $filters, & $order, & $this) ); ... Code: class plgHikashopBf_Search extends JPlugin{ // function onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters, &$order, &$view) { // $searchable = trim($view->params->get('searchable')); // if (empty($searchable)) return; function onBeforeProductListingLoad(&$filters) { $searchable = 'product_name,product_description'; ... } } The *searchable* parameter is an additional field I put into my template view override for the menu form.php file.

The change: Code: $dispatcher->trigger( 'onBeforeProductListingLoad', array( & $filters, & $order, & $this) ); needs to be made to *views/product/view.html.php* in both places please. Also, although I am not using it, I looked for the call to *'onBeforeCategoryListingLoad'* and found it in *classes/category.php* rather than *views/category/view.html.php*. Does not really matter as long as in gets called in the same manner Code: $dispatcher->trigger( 'onBeforeCategoryListingLoad', array( & $filters, & $order, & $this) ); .
