Parameters
- $methodName : mixed
- $methodArguments : mixed

Return values
mixed|string —_construct()
The construct method may be used to initialize custom plugin properties it is called immediately after instantiating the plugin all arguments passed to the getPlugins method are also available in this method.
public
_construct() : void
Tags

void —addAlternativePluginFolder()
A path to a specific folder in which should be search for plugins.
public
static addAlternativePluginFolder(mixed $sPluginFolder) : void
Parameters
- $sPluginFolder : mixed

void —getAlternativePluginFolder()
public
static getAlternativePluginFolder() : array<string|int, mixed>
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —getLevel()
The getLevel method may be overwritten in the plugins and defines the order, the plugins are called, where the highest level is called first.
public
getLevel() : int
The method can also be set for all plugins within a module by overwriting the modules getLevel method.
Tags
Return values
int —the level of the plugin where it is called
getMetaData()
Returns the CSMetaData of the current plugin.
public
getMetaData() : CSMetaData
Tags
Return values
CSMetaData —getModule()
Returns the module, if the plugin is defined within a module.
public
getModule() : CSModule
This method can be used in the plugin api and the plugin wherever access to the defining module is required. If it is used in the Api, it should be noticed that this method may return null, if the plugin is directly defined in the projects or admin.local plugins directory.
Tags
Return values
CSModule —the module object, if the plugin defined in a module or null otherwise
getPlugin()
Returns a CSPlugin for the given plugin type and plugin class name.
public
static getPlugin(string $pluginApiPath, string $className[, mixed $arguments = NULL ]) : CSPlugin|null
As standard behaviour the module subfolder is guessed from the forward URL parameter. If a plugin should point to something in a special module subfolder, this scope can be added by adding the module name in squared bracket at the end of the $pluginApiPath, e.g. 'core/api/plugins/CSRecordPlugin.php[pms]' to get all CSRecordPlugins defined for pms records.
Parameters
- $pluginApiPath : string
-
The relative path in filesystem for the requested plugin api (optional: ending with the module subfolder).
- $className : string
-
The target plugin class name, which should be loaded.
- $arguments : mixed = NULL
-
one or multiple arguments which should be passed to the isAvailable method.
