Topic: extensions dependencys

hi,

does manifest.xml allow some sort of extension dependencies?

i mean for example i'm craeting a verry simple extension called prototypejs which will add the prototype and script a coulus js librarys to punbb.

now i'm creating a bunch of other extensions that will require this extension to be installed, so is it possible to define this in manifest.xml, or should i just do the checks during the install?

althought it would be cool to have a < dependent > tag in the manifest file smile

Re: extensions dependencys

As far as I know, it does, but I've never used them. I'll check the XML parser and the rest of the code to see how they work.

Edit: Here you go:

<extension>
    <!-- extension info -->

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>extension_id</dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <!-- install/uninstall code -->

    <!-- extension hooks -->
</extension>

Probably because it's for 1.3 Beta.
