Hi;
I wrote a plugin and used it inside nop.web project. now I want to control that, if plugin has been installed or not. For this purpose I used PluginManager.IsAlreadyLoaded function. Originally this function is protected. I made it public firstly.
I want to learn that how did you do that job in your project? Is the way I used advisable?

Hi mavera,
There is already the ability to identify if a plugin is installed. Inject "IPluginFinder" into the classes you need this information.
If you call the method IPluginFinder.GetPluginDiscriptorBySystemName("pluginsystemname") and you get something other than null back then the plugin is installed. Or you can take this a step further and supply a second parameter of "false" and then on the method result (an instance of PluginDescriptor) you can check if the plugin is installed by investigating the boolean property "Installed".
