Activation and Deactivation does not work
I want to check for Woocommerce while activating my plugin. How can I put this check in activation hook? I tried to tweak the activation.php file but it does not return anything.
I tried this as well
function activate()
{
if (!class_exists('woocommerce')) {
deactivate_plugins(plugin_basename(__FILE__));
wp_die(__('Please install and activate WooCommerce first. Click the Back button in your browser to continue.'));
}
}
Is there a way that I can check this via my controllers and call those functions in my activation.php and deactivation.php files?
@baig772 Hi, you have the right version. 👍
The activation.php file is just included in the framework and no functions are called.
The right way to set up the activation.php file is:
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Plugin activation
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is included when the plugin is activated the first time.
| Usually you will use this file to register your custom post types or
| to perform some db delta process.
|
*/
if ( ! function_exists( 'arrow_checkout_activation' ) ) {
function arrow_checkout_activation()
{
if (!class_exists('woocommerce')) {
deactivate_plugins(plugin_basename(__FILE__));
wp_die(__('Please install and activate WooCommerce first. Click the Back button in your browser to continue.'));
}
}
arrow_checkout_activation();
}
The above code will work.
Thanks @gfazioli Is there a way that I could call the functions in activation and deactivation files from my controllers?
@baig772 wp bones uses
register_activation_hook($this->file, [$this, 'activation']);
...
public function activation()
{
// include your own activation
$activation = include_once "{$this->basePath}/plugin/activation.php";
...
}
to include the activation.php file. This means that you should be able to use anything in your activation.php file.
For example, you may "use" any controller
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Plugin activation
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is included when the plugin is activated the first time.
| Usually you will use this file to register your custom post types or
| to perform some db delta process.
|
*/
use YourNamespace\YourController;
if ( ! function_exists( 'arrow_checkout_activation' ) ) {
function arrow_checkout_activation()
{
// for example
YourController::your_method();
// or
(new YourController)->your_method();
}
arrow_checkout_activation();
}
@baig772 of course, you may also use
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Plugin activation
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is included when the plugin is activated the first time.
| Usually you will use this file to register your custom post types or
| to perform some db delta process.
|
*/
use YourNamespace\YourController;
YourController::init();
Hi @gfazioli I tried with this and I still don't see any thing.
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Plugin activation
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is included when the plugin is activated the first time.
| Usually you will use this file to register your custom post types or
| to perform some db delta process.
|
*/
use MyPlugin\Http\Controllers\Dashboard\DashboardController;
if ( ! function_exists( 'activate' ) ) {
function activate() {
( new DashboardController() )->activate();
}
activate();
}
My DashboardController.php looks like this
<?php
namespace MyPlugin\Http\Controllers\Dashboard;
use MyPlugin\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class DashboardController extends Controller {
public function activate() {
if ( ! class_exists( 'woocommerce' ) ) {
deactivate_plugins( __FILE__ );
wp_die( __( 'Please install and activate WooCommerce first. Click the Back button in your browser to continue.' ) );
}
}
}
The name spaces paths are correct in the use
@baig772 in the activation.php file, I'd try
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Plugin activation
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is included when the plugin is activated the first time.
| Usually you will use this file to register your custom post types or
| to perform some db delta process.
|
*/
use MyPlugin\Http\Controllers\Dashboard\DashboardController;
( new DashboardController() )->activate();
next, I'd try to add some log, just to be sure that everything is working fine, in your Controller you may use
<?php
namespace MyPlugin\Http\Controllers\Dashboard;
use MyPlugin\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class DashboardController extends Controller {
public function activate() {
error_log('activate method called');
if ( ! class_exists( 'woocommerce' ) ) {
error_log('find woocommerc class); // are you sure that this one will work?
deactivate_plugins( __FILE__ );
wp_die( __( 'Please install and activate WooCommerce first. Click the Back button in your browser to continue.' ) );
}
}
}
Hi @gfazioli , I tried the same thing and it is not working. Do I have to run a command like grunt or grunt watch so that my changes are reflected ?
I tried with
public function activate() {
wp_die('in here');
error_log( 'activate method called' );
if ( ! class_exists( 'woocommerce' ) ) {
error_log( 'find woocommerc class' ); // are you sure that this one will work?
deactivate_plugins( __FILE__ );
wp_die( __( 'Please install and activate WooCommerce first . Click the Back button in your browser to continue.' ) );
}
}
My activation.php looks like this
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Plugin activation
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is included when the plugin is activated the first time.
| Usually you will use this file to register your custom post types or
| to perform some db delta process.
|
*/
use MyPlugin\Http\Controllers\Dashboard\DashboardController;
( new DashboardController() )->activate();
@baig772 did you see anything on the debug.log file in the wp-content folder?
try to add the following lines in your wp-config.php file; after define('WPLANG', ''); and before if (!defined('ABSPATH')) {
define('WPLANG', '');
/**
* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
*
* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
* in their development environments.
*/
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
ini_set('display_errors', 0);
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if (!defined('ABSPATH')) {
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
}
Hello @gfazioli , No file is being created. Could we do a google meet or zoom to work together on this issue?
@baig772 hey, there is a new release v1.2.4 which could fix any issue, try
$ php bones update
