Is there some kind of function for checking installed modules?
Development and Programming
or is it all kept in memory somewhere, or do we just check the DB on our own every time?
just wondering if there’s a convenience method for this already, e.g. if your add-on is dependent on another one not just being present but actually installed.
thanks.
You could use something like this:
if (array_key_exists('addon_package_name', $this->EE->addons->get_installed()))
{
...
}
else
{
...
}Nice. Perfect. Thank you, Erik!
didn’t even know there was an addon class/library.
I looked up the source.
function get_installed($type = 'modules')Uses a static array for modules (which is the default so I don’t need to send the first argument, which for record’s sake can also be either accessories, extensions, fieldtypes, or rte_tools). Do you know if EE already runs this? That way it’s not an additional call to the database even though I guess that’s negligible. Kinda looks like it does… somewhere. Just curious.
