Extending Controller Public

[Daniel Hood]

I want to make an addon that listens for a template hook (I want compatability with v1.1) and adds to the original function. I still want to the initial template shown, I just want to be able to use View functions (like the bbcode parser for that view and everything). Any ideas?

Perhaps this is what you're looking for:

Yeah I've looked in to that. I need to use a listener though because there's going to be an option for which page/template hook my addon is displayed on/with. So I'm stuck not extending a specific controller.

Extending XenForo_ControllerPublic_Abstract will cause add-on compatibility breaks and won't do what you expect. See this:

What exactly are you attempting to do?

I want to listen for template hook "forum_node_list" and place a post, I want the post to run through the bbcode helper but I need to assign a view, since the view is triggered through ControllerPublic::responseView, I can't call it from my listener. There might be a better way to do this, I'm open to a suggestion.
