Action hook before the inserting post into the database

[johnnypea]

Something like

do_action( 'pre_post_insert', $data, $postarr );

added to wp_insert_post function right after the "else" statement on line 2501 in .../wp-includes/post.php

Use case? Also, real patch please.

Replying to nacin:

Use case? Also, real patch please.

For example in case I want to check if such a post exists in the database before inserting it - almost every data inserted into the database has its "pre_insert_hook" so why posts not?. I know there is this wp_insert_post_data filter where can I do this check but anyways it is not the action hook.

Please post a patch, versus a file.

[kapeels]

Patch instead of the file attached.

Please look at #22165 with real live use case. In ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22165#comment:3 there is another option how this can be solved.

Please change version to 3.4.2 - it is not possible for me now.

[markoheijnen]

The version is where it is implemented and not the latest version it occurs.

I'm working on membership plugin and every user has a certain number limit on add new post. I want to check total post count by the author before data has been save in the database but at the moment wp_insert_post does not have a pre_post_insert hook. It would be nice to add this hook in core.

Patch updated

[pbearne]

Yes please

Otherwise you need to exit out of filter to stop the save :-)

+1 for this

Use case: Make sure whatever happens, certain phrases will never be in a post. Do not care about whether they enter through a plugin using wp_insert_post() in some way or through the editor, or through the REST API or whatsoever.

Using pre_post_insert would help me to easier solve this request.
