Summary
Utilize these available hooks(events) in case of integration with third party systems or adding snippets to existing aMember workflow. Create saperate functions to use any of the above hooks as shown in example to insert your customizations. Alternative way to use hooks in aMember is to create a new module and put code inside it. But that requires lot of effort & code. This hook functions are simple & upgrade safe. site.php code remains as it is on upgrade of the software version.
