Title: Add hooks to BlocksMenu controller
Post by: yonghan on June 17, 2016, 01:55:39 AM: Hi admins, please consider to add hooks into BlocksMenu controller. I need to replace an item link via my extension. The link will be replaced if the extension is turned on and vice versa. I don't see another way to do that except replacing the items info for now. Thanks a lot.
