Little question about making a plugin

  • Hello, I’m making my first plugin which modify a little bit the
    wp-login.php file.
    I use add_actions and it’s working well.
    But now I would like to launch a special function when the users came from wp-login.php?todo=myspecialfunction.

    So it can’t be “hooked” with add_actions, it is a sort of standalone function, but how can I add it without editing wp-login.php?
    I would like to have code only in my plugin….Any idea ?

    I tryed to make a standalone page with my function in it (tryed in /themes/mytheme and /plugins/myplugin), but it doesn’t work because WP can’t find its functions (get_header,etc)

    Instructions there relate to any “standalone” PHP document you need to make WP-aware.

    But you might have another way to accomplish this using PHP’s pre-defined $_SERVER var. I have not tested this, but here’s an example you can play with:

    if(strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], '/wp-login.php?todo=myspecialfunction')) {
	myspecialfunction();
}

    This would reside in your plugin file outside any function or whatnot.
