A request for all coders?

I just blew up the test bed earlier today. Attempted to load a plugin that was already loaded. Forum went BOOM! LOL

Is it possible to include a query that checks to see if the plugin is already loaded and tells you that you're about to make a very serious boo-boo if you proceed? At least I learned something today. Forum go boom when you load plugin that's already loaded. ROTF!

I have done this several times with no ill effects (other than having a duplicate plugin) ?????

Interesting. This was done with the Who Viewed your Profile plugin. As soon as I clicked the upload button, the forum blew up. Literally.

I hope no one was hurt.

What do you mean by blew up. Elaborate. :)

Plugin makers need to use the unique identifyer feature. :)

Plugin makers need to use the unique identifyer feature. :)Yes, but make sure you don't use an identifier that starts with 'vb'. That one will be reserved for use by Jelsoft.

The style within the AdminCP was gone. Poof. Along with all forums and posts on "forumhome". Only error message I received was that the plugin system was shut down globally.

Since this was a test bed, I wasn't too concerned about everything, and after monkeying around with it for around an hour, decided to just wipe out the install and start from scratch again.

you mean figuratively then, not literally :p

There might be a Problem with the Installer then :)
I tested this on Beta 3, but didn't have the chance to test it on Beta 4 yet.

If vBulletin wouldn't kill the devkey upon edit (when not in debug mode) this would be great, yes :)

Biker,

While you are auditing the test environment on a Friday night, please note that Bourbon + <insert source of> flame {can also} = BOOM!

LMAO! Sadly to say, the blood content in my alcohol was very high that night as I had to work. :D
