Group Plugins by Product in the ACP Plugin Manager · **Released**: 11-04-2005

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Having upgraded to vb 3.5.1 and now having over 60 plugins across 15 products I finally got fed up of the current way they are displayed so I simply switched the Products/Hooks around in the display to group plugins [for a product] together. Much easier to see what's related this way.

Simply find this section of code in the admincp/plugin.php file ;

PHP Code:


			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'modify')

{

    $products = fetch_product_list(true);



    print_form_header('plugin', 'updateactive');

    print_table_header($vbphrase['plugin_system'], 4);

    print_cells_row(array($vbphrase['title'], $vbphrase['product'], $vbphrase['active'], $vbphrase['controls']), 1);



    $plugins = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "plugin ORDER BY hookname, title");

    $prevhook = '';

    while ($plugin = $db->fetch_array($plugins))

    {

        if ($plugin['hookname'] != $prevhook)

        {

            $prevhook = $plugin['hookname'];

            print_description_row("$vbphrase[hook_location] : " . $plugin['hookname'], 0, 4, 'tfoot');

        }



        $product = $products[($plugin['product'] ? $plugin['product'] : 'vbulletin')];

        if (!$product)

        {

            $product = array('title' => "<em>$plugin[product]</em>", 'active' => 1);

        }

        if (!$product['active'])

        {

            $product['title'] = "<strike>$product[title]</strike>";

        }



        $title = htmlspecialchars_uni($plugin['title']);

        $title = ($plugin['active'] AND $product['active']) ? $title : "<strike>$title</strike>";



        print_cells_row(array(

            "<a href=\"plugin.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=edit&amp;pluginid=$plugin[pluginid]\">$title</a>",

            $product['title'],

            "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"active[$plugin[pluginid]]\" value=\"1\"" . ($plugin['active'] ? ' checked="checked"' : '') . " />",

            construct_link_code($vbphrase['edit'], "plugin.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=edit&amp;pluginid=$plugin[pluginid]") .

            construct_link_code($vbphrase['delete'], "plugin.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=delete&amp;pluginid=$plugin[pluginid]")

        ));

    }



    print_submit_row($vbphrase['save_active_status'], false, 4);



    echo '<p align="center">' . construct_link_code($vbphrase['add_new_plugin'], "plugin.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=add") . '</p>';

}

and replace it with this ;

PHP Code:


			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'modify')

{

    $products = fetch_product_list(true);



    print_form_header('plugin', 'updateactive');

    print_table_header($vbphrase['plugin_system'], 4);

    print_cells_row(array($vbphrase['title'], $vbphrase['hook_location'], $vbphrase['active'], $vbphrase['controls']), 1);



    $plugins = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "plugin ORDER BY product, hookname, title");

    $prevhook = '';

    while ($plugin = $db->fetch_array($plugins))

    {

        $product = $products[($plugin['product'] ? $plugin['product'] : 'vbulletin')];

        if ($plugin['product'] != $prevhook)

        {

            $prevhook = $plugin['product'];

            print_description_row("(" . $plugin['product'] . ") : " . $product['title'], 0, 4, 'tfoot');

        }

        if (!$product)

        {

            $product = array('title' => "<em>$plugin[product]</em>", 'active' => 1);

        }

        if (!$product['active'])

        {

            $product['title'] = "<strike>$product[title]</strike>";

        }



        $title = htmlspecialchars_uni($plugin['title']);

        $title = ($plugin['active'] AND $product['active']) ? $title : "<strike>$title</strike>";



        print_cells_row(array(

            "<a href=\"plugin.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=edit&amp;pluginid=$plugin[pluginid]\">$title</a>",

            $plugin['hookname'],

            "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"active[$plugin[pluginid]]\" value=\"1\"" . ($plugin['active'] ? ' checked="checked"' : '') . " />",

            construct_link_code($vbphrase['edit'], "plugin.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=edit&amp;pluginid=$plugin[pluginid]") .

            construct_link_code($vbphrase['delete'], "plugin.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=delete&amp;pluginid=$plugin[pluginid]")

        ));

    }



    print_submit_row($vbphrase['save_active_status'], false, 4);



    echo '<p align="center">' . construct_link_code($vbphrase['add_new_plugin'], "plugin.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=add") . '</p>';

}

That's it, job done.

Just reading the new features in the vB 3.6.0 beta thread at vb.com - grouping plugins by product has been included as part of standard vbulletin, so this hack will become redundant in 3.6.

Parker Clack · #20 06-02-2006, 10:22 AM

Still nice to have with 3.5.4

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
