The same approach is implemented for hooks called from the controller
logic (the op/op.*.php files).

Based on these two variants of adding hooks to the seeddms application code,
the seeddms core can be extended by implementing the controller hook 'initDMS'
which is called right after the class SeedDMS_Core_DMS has been initiated.
Beside hooks and callbacks another way of modifying seeddms is given
by overloading the files in the directory 'views' and 'controllers'. Both
directories contain class files with a single class for either running
controller or view code. If an extension provides those file in its
own extension dir, they will be used instead of the files shipped with
seeddms.
