Hi,
Sorry, I just found a mistake in my solution code:
> jQuery.plugin = function(name) {
> var p = jQuery.plugins;
> var n = name.split('.');
> for( var i = 0; i < n.length; i++ ) {
> if( !p[n[i]] ) p[n[i]] = {};
> p = p[n[i]];
> }
> p[n].available = true;
> }
That should be
p.available = true;
of course.
That code can easily be changed to support other Information about the
plugins, like e.g. version numbers:
jQuery.getPluginVersion = function(name) {
var n = (name).split('.'), j;
for( j = 0; p && j < n.length; j++) {
if( !p[n[j]] )
throw "required plugin " + ns[i] + " not found";
p = p[n[j]];
}
return p.version;
}
jQuery.plugin = function(name,version) {
var p = jQuery.plugins;
var n = name.split('.');
for( var i = 0; i < n.length; i++ ) {
if( !p[n[i]] ) p[n[i]] = {};
p = p[n[i]];
}
p[n].available = true;
p[n].version = version?parseFloat(version):0;
}
// Usage:
$.checkForPlugins('autocomplete,dimensions,myplugin.part1');
if( $.getPluginVersion('myplugin.part1') < 42.2 )
throw "get a current Version of myplugin!";
// at the end of the plugin:
$.plugin('myplugin.part1',42.5);
