Manage Plugins

Plugins in civicrm/setup/plugins/*/*.civi-setup.php are automatically detected and loaded. The simplest way to manage plugins is adding and removing files from this folder.

However, you may find it useful to manage plugins programmatically. For example, the civicrm-drupal integration or the civicrm-wordpress integration might refine the installation process by:

• Adding a new plugin
• Removing a default plugin

To programmatically manage plugins, take note of the \Civi\Setup::init(...) function. It accepts an argument, $pluginCallback, which can edit the plugin list.

For example, this would add a custom plugin named ExtraJoompralInstallPlugin:

<?php
function myPluginCallback($files) {
  $files['ExtraJoompralInstallPlugin'] = '/path/to/ExtraJoompralInstallPlugin.php';
  ksort($files);
  return $files;
}

\Civi\Setup::init(..., 'myPluginCallback');
