That's kinda what PluginLibrary is all about. It makes settings easy to create and maintain; it creates templates in a way that allows users to edit and revert them; stuff that's useful for many plugins and which isn't really that simple to implement yourself and not usually covered in tutorials.
[...]
There are advantages to it being a third party library, as long as the developer is active anyway: If there is a bug report today, I can release a bugfix tomorrow. No need to wait months for the next MyBB version, and no need to tell admins to update their entire boards instead of just a plugin.
I now feel bad! It does increase your productivity and it saves me a lot of time when writing
free plugins.
May you help me with this?
Upon activation I insert my settings (which are updated if already created):
function ougc_annbars_activate()
{
// Add our settings
$PL->settings('ougc_plugins', 'OUGC Plugins', $lang->ougc_plugins, array(
'annbars_limit' => array(
'title' => $lang->ougc_annbars_setting_limit,
'description' => $lang->ougc_annbars_setting_limit_desc,
'optionscode' => 'text',
'value' => 5,
),
));
// Insert template/group
$PL->templates('ougcplugins', 'OUGC Plugins', array(
'annbars_bar' => '<div class="ougc_annbars_{$bar[\'style\']}">
{$bar[\'content\']}
</div><br/>',
));
}
The problem is that, I don't want to delete the setting group if there are left some settings within it, the same for the template set. You see, that plugin only uses one setting and one template, I do have some plugins like that (one/few setting(s) and/or template(s)). Do you think this will work correctly for uninstallation (seems to work for me)?:
// Delete settings
#$PL->settings_delete('ougc_annbars'); // we can't use this :(
$db->delete_query('settings', 'name=\'ougc_plugins_annbars_limit\'');
$query = $db->simple_select('settinggroups', 'gid', 'name=\'ougc_plugins\'');
while($gid = $db->fetch_field($query, 'gid'))
{
$gid = (int)$gid;
$q = $db->simple_select('settings', 'gid', 'gid=\''.$gid.'\'');
if($db->num_rows($q) < 1)
{
$db->delete_query('settinggroups', 'gid=\''.$gid.'\'');
}
unset($q);
}
// Delete template/group
#$PL->templates_delete('ougc_annbars'); // we can't use this :(
$db->delete_query('templates', 'title=\'ougcplugins_annbars_bar\''); // Delete template
$query = $db->simple_select('templates', 'tid', 'title=\'ougcplugins\' OR title LIKE \'ougcplugins=_%\' ESCAPE \'=\'');
if(!$db->num_rows($query))
{
$db->delete_query('templategroups', 'prefix=\'ougcplugins\''); // Delete template groups
}
Do you think such feature could make it to your library? Thanks in advance!
