Script Package Installation Plugin#

Execute arbitrary PHP code during installation, update and uninstallation of the package.

You must install the PHP script through the file package installation plugin.

The installation will attempt to delete the script after successful execution.

Attributes#

application#

The application attribute must have the same value as the application attribute of the file package installation plugin instruction so that the correct file in the intended application directory is executed. For further information about the application attribute, refer to its documentation on the acpTemplate package installation plugin page.

Expected value#

The script-PIP expects a relative path to a .php file.

Naming convention#

The PHP script is deployed by using the file package installation plugin. To prevent it from colliding with other install script (remember: You cannot overwrite files created by another plugin), we highly recommend to make use of these naming conventions:

  • Installation: install_<package>.php (example: install_com.woltlab.wbb.php)
  • Update: update_<package>_<targetVersion>.php (example: update_com.woltlab.wbb_5.0.0_pl_1.php)

<targetVersion> equals the version number of the current package being installed. If you're updating from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, <targetVersion> should read 1.0.1.

Execution environment#

The script is included using include() within ScriptPackageInstallationPlugin::run(). This grants you access to the class members, including $this->installation.

You can retrieve the package id of the current package through $this->installation->getPackageID().
