Hello,

I’ve released a meta-plugin for handling plugin dependencies in WordPress. Thought you’d be interested in it, since, by definition, all BuddyPress plugins are dependant on BuddyPress.

To make it work, you just need to add this line to your plugin’s header:

Dependencies: buddypress/bp-loader.php

If a user doesn’t have the Plugin Dependencies plugin installed, that line will simply be ignored, so no harm done.

Feedback on the meta-plugin is more than welcome.

Wow, this is awesome, @scribu. Thanks for posting about it here. I’ll give it a test this week.

Can it handle child child plugins?

[scribu]

Yep, it supports infinite depth.

Neato. Will keep an eye on this if it gets into WP (3.2?)

Something like this definitely needs to be in WP core!
