Logic for Plugin X Lite OR Plugin X Premium #619

Closed prionkor closed 8 years ago

prionkor commented 8 years ago

How should we handle this kind of special case where we recommend Plugin X lite ( which is free ). Now if user have the Plugin X Premium which is an extended version of Plugin X lite. Those two plugins can not be activated together and can create conflict if both activated.

This is one of the common cases now a days as many of developers have lite and premium version of a particular plugin.

Let me know your thoughts.

I'd recommend looking for a common function/method which is contained in both the Lite as well as the Premium version of the plugin and setting the is_callable configuration option for the plugin. If the function/method is found, the plugin will be regarded as active, independently of whether the Lite or the Premium version is installed.

For more information, see the detailed configuration information: http://tgmpluginactivation.com/configuration/#h-plugin-parameters

Does that answer your question ?

Yes, is_callable seems to be right choice! :)
