This would be particularly useful for plugins that are either incompatible or completely dependent on other plugins. I added this to my CMS to make life easier. Basically like the function_exists() function in PHP, so you just check if a plugin is activated, and if it is, do something....

  1. Thats cool. While MyBB 1.4 already sports compatibility features for plugins, I can see potential use for it in other plugins.

    While this would be ideal implementation, theoretically you can already read the plugin cache to check for active plugins.

  2. Yeah, idealism is my middle name. At the moment I am making a CMS, which, because of my familiarity with it - is based off MyBB - it even has MyBB integration. So when I ended up coding that, it just struck me as something useful for MyBB.

    Thanks
