Boilerplate Code

Use the boilerplate code to start using the filter, and add your own logic to modify the first argument and return it.

Clickfwd\Hook\Filter::add('category_allows_follows', function($allow, $params) 
{
  // Uncomment line below to view available data passed into hook
  // For JReviews 3.x and earlier use dd instead of fwd_dd

  return $allow;
});
