Provide more information about hook_follow_networks

What would it link to, a sign up form or something?

We also need to change the default text for something like this, b/c 'Follow on Newsletter' doesn't read very clean..

"Since it's just a link, you could make it point to anything."

That's kind of the problem I foresee. Right now we are using regex to ensure that users are using their follow links appropriately. In this case, someone could put anything in there. I understand some may want this kind of flexibility, but for us, we are exposing this form to users we affectionately call "dumb". Dumb users need a bit of handholding when it comes to stuff like this…

…just thinking out loud.

Hmm, when pwolanin said he wanted to remove the hook in 7, I figured he'd clean up a bit better than that! Here's the discussion: http://drupal.org/node/619276#comment-2218064

What are your thoughts on it?

> I think Peter is being silly. Lots of contrib modules implement their own hook. Nodequeue, Imagecache, gmap, views, these are all pretty large in popularity and all implement their own hooks.

I said the same thing, but then in IRC he made the point that these modules expose API hooks b/c it is very likely other contrib modules will use them. In this case, it is very unlikely that a contrib module will be implementing hook_follow_networks. The only time anyone would likely be doing that is in their own site module, and in that case, using hook_follow_networks_alter offers more flexibility anyways.

Looks great! Thanks for spending the time on this Rob..

Thanks, committed! http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=366660
