Hi there
I'm in the process of creating a plugin (a Smugmug Silo) and want to check
for the existence of other plugins so I can offer users the option of taking
advantage of their functionality in conjunction with my plugin, if
available.
In particular I'm interested in offering the option of taking advantage of
the Thickbox plugin, if it's installed.
So I've got everything working and am now coming to detect the presence of
the Thickbox plugin, so I call "Plugins::is_loaded('Thickbox')". Now as
this is available in my installation (ie appears in the plugins list), it
returns TRUE as expected. However, and this is where my issue is: the
plugin is NOT active yet, so I can't take advantage of it's functionality
(well I could, but I'm trying to be good here).
Surely the Plugins::is_loaded() method should only return true for activated
plugins. There isn't a similar "is_active()" method, though I could probably
cobble something similar together in the plugin itself.
So, do we need an "is_active($name, $version = NULL)" method or should
"is_loaded()" only return TRUE for active plugins?
Opinions?
Cheers,
Colin
