Feature Request (Plugins API)

[bbyrdhouse]

Hi,

I would like to ask for more hooks to be added to the theme api.
The way things are currently setup means that there can only be 1 instance of a hook used in the theme and this can create a lot of complications.

Example: Take the "Links" plugin that uses the siteSidebar hook

If a user has the links plugin activated on their site then anywhere else that hook is used, it will include those links in the output.

I would much rather be able to use my own hooks and create plugins to use those, if not, then I would like to ask for more hooks to be made available for the theme:

CURRENT HOOKS

• siteHead
  siteBodyBegin
  siteBodyEnd
  siteSidebar
  beforeSiteLoad
  afterSiteLoad
  pageBegin
  pageEnd

PROPOSED ADDITIONAL HOOKS

• siteSidebar_a
  siteSidebar_b
  siteSidebar_c
  nav_a
  nav_b
  nav_c
  footer_a
  footer_b
  footer_c
  extra_a
  extra_b
  extra_c
  extra_d
  extra_e
  extra_f

Unless I am totally missing something, it appears that plugins can bump into each other way to easily.
