    Test for presence of module or fields Link to this post

    Hi,

    Is there a conventional way of testing for the presence of Module or specific fields that a module might create?

    Thanks very much.

    You can check if a class exists by doing this:

    if (class_exists('MyClass')) {
    $myclass = new MyClass();
    }


    So you could check for a known class in the module and then assume that the module is installed - maybe not ideal...

    Thanks @Howard, that'll do the trick.

    So there isn't a Sapphire API to test for the presence of a module or widget?

    Thanks again.
