[wp-hackers] Plugin Management issue...

[Owen Winkler]

You should really do this with filter priorities.  But here goes:

function sort_plugin_string($current)
{
	global $dependson;

	$ary_current = explode("\n", trim($current));
	foreach($ary_current as $plugin_file) 
	{
		if(trim($plugin_file) != '')
		{
			$plugin_data = implode('', file(ABSPATH .
'/wp-content/plugins/' . $plugin_file));
			preg_match("|Dependencies:(.*)|i", $plugin_data,
$dependstr);
			$dependson[$plugin_file] = explode(';',
trim($dependstr[1]));
		}
	}
	usort($ary_current, 'sort_plugins');
	return trim(implode("\n", $ary_current));
}

function sort_plugins($a, $b)
{
	global $dependson;

	switch(true)
	{
	case in_array($b, $dependson[$a]): return 1;
	case in_array($a, $dependson[$b]): return -1;
	default: return 0;
	}
}

...
$current = sort_plugin_string($current); // Added this line
update_option('active_plugins', $current);
