Hello Boro,
Thanks for your response. However I am looking for something a bit more
comprehensive :)
I could do it as you suggested if I had only a few plugins. As I am going to
add loads of plugins over the time, rather than adding all the plugins one
by one, could something like a 'loader' class be implemented? What I mean by
that is, it will take the requested plugin names (with their own parameters
necessary) and load/initialise them.
In semi-psuedo-code, it would be something like:
foreach plugin suplied as the argument
include the plugin
initialise it
end
Perhaps I should change the question to: "Do you think something like this
would be efficient and useable? If not what sort of pattern would you
follow?"
Warm regards,
Hamza.

Hey Hamza,
require_once($chosenPlugin . '.class.php');
$obj = new $chosenPlugin();
return $obj;
And you can start from there.

Hello all,
I am working on a project which needs to have some sort of plugins
architecture and I am kinda stuck. Basically I want to give a list of
items to the user, and according to his/her selection, I want to load
relevant functionality into my application.
I was thinking of having an abstract plugin class, and have the
plugins implement that but then how would I actually load the plugins?
Say for instance I want to load plugins X,Y,Z (and lets say i
implemented them as [X|Y|Z].class.php) , should I just 'include' (or
require) them? Or should I initialize all possible plugins and just
pick the ones user has chosen (which sounds a bit pointless as it
would load unnecessary stuff)?
How would you go about doing something like this?
Thanks.
