Creating Custom Events

[mburman]

Anyone know how to do this?

With an event I mean one such as "View Downloaded Files". You trigger it with a link "index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view".

It is then setup in a class "downloads" as
$events->registerEvent(EVENT_CLIENT, MODULE_DOWNLOADS, "view");

And finally you call upon some code in a eventcallback such as
if ($eventtype == EVENT_CLIENT && $eventaction == "view")
include_once("something.php");

It seems like a perfect way of building a plugin, but it seems to be registered in includes/functions.php as well, which is encrypted...

Any thoughts? How do you setup your customizations?

look in how existing modules do it.
It is not hard to understand, i did it a while ago for a plugin i created.
AFAIK in every module directory is a fill callled "modulname"_setup.php in which you can register custom events.
