Calling hook more then once with diffrent data

[mrzoom]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use a hook in product_list and need it be called once for each product and somehow pass along the product id, so i can get out relevant data for each product.

 

Is this possible?

Why are you trying to use a hook?

What are you trying to accomplish?

I have build a module for voting and i'm trying to show the current stars for each produkt in the product_list.

I will soon build a another module which uses cURL to login on my manufaturere's site and get his current stock live for each product and show that in the product_list.

You should consider using the override files instead of using hooks (as you will need to create an override file to call your hooks anyway).

You can override the getProducts function in the category class and add the variables you need right there.

You could also override the function in Product class that adds more info to the product list (don't recall it off the top of my head)
