I sometimes need code or data that is cross plugin, so i want to use functions or I want to get data that come from other plugins.
And because I want all code for a plugin in one place, I made the 'custom' function below:

You can make what I call modules and they must be in the modules folder of any plugin.

/*======================================================================
    Function:   cf_load_module
     
        With this function we can load any code (called modules) from other plugins.
        In this way we can get/set any value from any plugin via functions that
        belong to that specific plugin.
        There can be separate modules that we can use... so we can devide functionality
     
        parameters:
                        pluginname      should be the pluginname
                        modulename      empty will load the default
                                            pluginname.module.php
                                        value will load
                                            pluginname.module.<value>.php
         
        return values:
                        false if the file was not found or the plugin is inactive
                        true if the file was found and loaded
         
======================================================================*/   
function cf_load_module($pluginname='',$modulename='') {
    global $cfg,$sed_plugins;
    $ret=false;
    $pluginactive=false;
     
    if ($pluginname!="") {
        // check if plugin is active
        if (is_array($sed_plugins))
        {
            foreach($sed_plugins as $i => $k)
            {
                if($k['pl_code']==$pluginname)
                {
                    $pluginactive=true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        if (!$pluginactive) {
            // plugin is not installed
            return false;
        }
     
     
        if ($modulename!='') {
            $filename = $cfg['plugins_dir'].'/'.$pluginname.'/modules/'.$pluginname.'.module.'.$modulename.'.php';
        } else {
            $filename = $cfg['plugins_dir'].'/'.$pluginname.'/modules/'.$pluginname.'.module.php';
        }        
        if (file_exists($filename)) {
            require_once($filename);
            $ret=true;
        }
    }    
    return $ret;
}

 

How to use it:

PHP

if (cf_load_module("myproject","users")) {
    // 0 = current logged in user
    $ret=mod_mpr_users_getProjectRights('STRING',$userid,$projectid);
}  


In this example it loads the 'users' part from the myproject plugin (i am working on)

Hope somebody can use the idea :D
