Plugins

Snippets to help you work with plugins:

Activate plugin

<?php
    // Class name of the plugin
    $className = 'pluginAbout';

    activatePlugin($className);
?>

Deactivate plugin

<?php
    // Class name of the plugin
    $className = 'pluginAbout';

    deactivatePlugin($className);
?>

Check if a plugin is activated (enabled)

<?php
    // Class name of the plugin
    $className = 'pluginAbout';

    if (pluginActivated($className)) {
        echo 'The plugin About is activated';
    } else {
        echo 'The plugin About is deactivated';
    }
?>

Get a plugin

This function returns a Plugin-Object.

The plugin needs to be activated, otherwise the getPlugin() function returns false.

<?php
    // Class name of the plugin
    $className = 'pluginAbout';

    // Get the Plugin-Object
    $plugin = getPlugin($className);

    // Print the plugin label
    echo $plugin->label();

    // Execute the hook siteSidebar of the plugin and print it
    echo $plugin->siteSidebar();
?>
