v0.0.2

Product/Plugin Enhancements (PPE): New Version
New version, o.o.2 now only has 2 (yes, that's right - just 2!) queries.

PPE v0.0.2 now uses advanced caching techniques, reducing the query count by a LOT. Now, instead of querying the database every time a function in PPE is called, it just queries the DB 2 times (1 for products and 1 for plugins), and puts the information in an array. :banana:

What's PPE?

PPE is basically a set of useful functions to enhance the product/plugin functionality in vBulletin.


What can PPE do?
it can, at the moment, check to see if a product is active and/or a plugin is active, in both the vBulletin Templates and vBulletin Code (where the "global_start" plugin is called/global.php has been included).

How do I use PPE in my templates/code?
In your templates, simply use something like:

this to see if product id my_product_id is enabled/disabled

<if condition="product_is_active('my_product_id')">
Product Id 'my_product_id' is Enabled/Active!
<else />
Product Id 'my_product_id' is Disabled/Inactive!
</if>

this to see if plugin id my_plugin_id is enabled/disabled:

<if condition="plugin_is_active('my_plugin_id')">
Plugin Id 'my_plugin_id' is Enabled/Active!
<else />
Plugin Id 'my_plugin_id' is Disabled/Inactive!
</if>

The two functions at the moment that PPE includes are:

product_is_active(productid);
plugin_is_active(pluginid);

Xplorer4x4,

I would post a screenshot, but, of what? Of the template editor with the code?

Sorry, but there really isn't anything I can take ascreenshots of (that is useful).

[Gizmo5h1t3]

so for the unititated, where would the code go, and what templates would you put it in??

[akanevsky]

What is "plugin id"? Is that the numerical id of the plugin?

[Boofo]

What does this do and what can it be used for? The first post is rather confusing.
