Override views which calls this function:

mod\blog\views\default\resources\blog\all.php
mod\blog\views\default\resources\blog\group.php
mod\blog\views\default\resources\blog\owner.php

You can use this hook also:

$options = [
    'type' => 'object',
    'subtype' => 'blog',
    'distinct' => false,
    'no_results' => elgg_echo('blog:none'),
];

$viewer = function ($entities, $options) {
    return theme_elgg_view_entity_list($entities, $options);
};

echo elgg_list_entities($options, 'elgg_get_entities', $viewer);

function theme_elgg_view_entity_list($entities, array $vars = array()) {
    $offset = (int)get_input('offset', 0);

    // list type can be passed as request parameter
    $list_type = get_input('list_type', 'custom_type');

    $defaults = [
       'items' => $entities,
       'list_class' => 'custom_class',
       'full_view' => true,
       'pagination' => true,
       'list_type' => 'custom_type',
       'list_type_toggle' => false,
       'offset' => $offset,
       'limit' => null,
   ];

   $vars = array_merge($defaults, $vars);

   if (!$vars["limit"] && !$vars["offset"]) {
     // no need for pagination if listing is unlimited
     $vars["pagination"] = false;
   }

   return elgg_view('page/components/custom_view', $vars);
}

Or add any callback which you want to use.

Thanks RvR... I think we posted at the same time.  I had figured after playing around with the code last night that I could override the views to accomplish what I needed to do but I will look at your solution to guide me through some of the parts I haven't figured out yet.

There isn't such event in the Elgg core.

See all events in core.

But you can use usersettings:save, user hook to make custom function.

thanks a lot
