I would like to make sure an extension isn't run, via sessions_end hook, in the control panel.

I'm currently doing this like so:

if ($this->EE->input->get_post('D') == "cp")
{
    return FALSE;
}

My question: is there a better or prefered method of having an extension only run a hook on the frontend and not in the CP?

That should work fine, but you can also check the REQ constant (docs) which has the following possible values:

  • CP - Control panel requests
  • PAGE - Frontend template requests
  • ACTION - Module actions, e.g. mysite.com/?ACT=123

For example:

if (REQ == 'CP')
{
    return FALSE;
}

  • This is the exact same way that I do it Nate. Nov 15, 2012 at 23:08
  • Cool. I always just tested for $this->EE->cp, but this way seems more solid. Nov 28, 2012 at 10:02
