Detect a plugin #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The sitasione is the following: I have a lot of plugin/widgets installed
and I wanto to customize the resulting display with my personal CSS. Will
Thematic be able to detect a certain plugin and load a connected
stylesheet? we already have plugin.css but what happened if I'd like to
customized 30 widgets? do we have to load a bigger plugin css even if we
don't need it? on the other hand: with 30 different stylesheet (one for
every widget, in the worst case) will HTML requests be too many? what do
you think about it?

Hey Danny,

we could integrate some code to detect plugins, but .. which plugins should we
detect? In addition .. I already ran into a situation where a plugin author did 
a
complete rewrite of the plugin so I had to rewrite my detection. Took me a 
while to
figure out why my old detection stopped working. 

What if the author extends the plugins CSS? 

Again .. the integration is easy .. but I don't know how we could support a 
list of
30+ plugins / widgets?

Cheers,

Chris .. finally back from the snowy mountain ;-)

You are right. I didn't think about that. I think the solution might be the
following: in my child themes, I usually customize some widgets (as last fm, 
wp125
and more) with some css codeaccording to my theme. if the plugin changes (as you
wrote before) I would like to inform the user that MAYBE the widget display 
might be
different. in this unfortunate case, he/she will be adviced to deactivate the 
plugin
or ask for a new customization according to the new release. when we install a
plugin, we could trace the name and version in the DB. once the name will become
different, a warning message may appear when the admin log in.
what do you think?

by the way: welcome back!
