For our hotspots component: demo.compojoom.com/hotspots we have a cb plugin that displays the last locations that a user has entered. I want to distribute this plugin together with our main component package and install it in cb while we install our component. If it was a normal plugin one could do
Code:
$installer = new JInstaller; $isntaller->install('path_to_package');
but since it is not a normal joomla plugin, but a cb plugin I'm a little lost how to use the cb framework for this.
I tried this:
Code:
if(JFile::exists(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/library/cb/cb.installer.php')) { require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/library/cb/cb.installer.php'); $cbInstaller = new cbInstallerPlugin(); $cbInstaller->install($parent->getParent()->getPath('source').'/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_hotspots'); }

but then I have fatal errors from missing functions etc...

Any advise on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
Daniel

I managed to do the trick. Here is the code in case anyone wants to do something similar:
Code:
if(JFile::exists(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/library/cb/cb.installer.php')) { global $_CB_framework; require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php'); require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.class.php'); require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/comprofiler.class.php'); require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/library/cb/cb.installer.php'); $cbInstaller = new cbInstallerPlugin(); if($cbInstaller->install($parent->getParent()->getPath('source').'/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_hotspots/')) { // do something } }
