REDCap Version 14.9.1
redcap_project_home_page
(REDCap >= 6.9.0)
redcap_project_home_page — Allows custom actions to be performed on the "Project Home" page in a project
Description
void redcap_project_home_page ( int $project_id )
Allows custom actions to be performed on the "Project Home" page in a project, specifically near the top of the page just below the tabs. You may utilize this hook to 1) perform back-end operations, such as adding or modifying data in database tables, which can be done when the page loads or when triggered by a user action on the page via JavaScript, or 2) output custom HTML, JavaScript, and/or CSS to modify the current page in any way desired.
Location of Execution
The function is executed near the TOP of the "Project Home" page (just below where the tabs are displayed).
Parameters
project_id
The project ID number of the REDCap project.
Return Values
Nothing. Your function does not need to return anything.
Examples
Example #1:
This example illustrates how to perform desired operations for ALL projects, such as displaying static HTML at the top of the "Add/Edit Records" page.
function redcap_project_home_page($project_id)
{
    print '<div class="yellow">Special announcement text to display at the top of the home page.</div>';
}
Example #2:
This example shows a simple way of performing project-specific actions using the $project_id parameter. NOTE: This particular method is not as clean or as easy to maintain for many projects at once. See the next example for a better way to implement project-specific actions for many projects.
function redcap_project_home_page($project_id)
{
    // Perform certain actions for specific projects (using "switch" or "if" statements).
    switch ($project_id) {

        // Perform operations for project_id 212
        case 212:
            // do something specific for this project ...
            break;

        // Perform operations for project_id 4775
        case 4775:
            // do something specific for this project ...
            break;

        // ...
    }
}
Example #3:
A much more manageable way to perform project-specific operations for many projects at once is to create a directory structure where each project has its own subdirectory under the main Hooks directory (e.g., named "redcap/hooks/pid{$project_id}/redcap_data_entry_form.php"). This allows the code for each project to be sandboxed and separated and also makes it more manageable to utilize other files (e.g., PHP, HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript files) that you can keep in the project's subdirectory (i.e., "pid{$project_id}") in the Hooks folder. Then the designated project handler PHP script can utilize any of the parameters passed in the function to perform actions specific to each project. NOTE: This example assumes that the "hooks" sub-directory is located in the same directory as the PHP file containing the Hook functions.
function redcap_project_home_page($project_id, $instrument, $event_id)
{
    // Set the full path of the project handler PHP script located inside the
    // project-specific sub-folder, which itself exists in the main Hooks folder.
    $project_handler_script = dirname(__FILE__) . "/hooks/pid{$project_id}/redcap_project_home_page.php";

    // Check if the project handler PHP script exists for this project, and if so,
    // then "include" the script to execute it. If not, do nothing.
    if (file_exists($project_handler_script)) include $project_handler_script;
