Hi!
I am building up a plugin.
I need to some check in the method, and I wish to "abort" the installation if something is wrong. Is it suffices to use the return true/false statement???

Thanks!

There is no simple "return false" mechanism.

You can however access $this->instance_id to deletethe plugin from the serendipity_plugins table, resp. use the serendipiy_plugin_api::remove_plugin_instance() (or sth like that) method.

Great... I think I will do in that way.

But... a thing, how can I send the user a response, informing him that something has gome wrong???

Thank you.

P.S. I have fiinshed the first part of my plugin! Tomorrow I will post a topic informing everybody on wath kind of plugin is (anyway it is nothing special).

Well, the current only way is to just "echo" the information. We are trying to improve Serendipity in this regard in future versions.

I have tryed, but echo function doesn't work for me if I put in the install() method to alert the user that something was wrong . . .
Well... no problem anyway. I will return on this problem after the big work will be finished.
