What are "system plugins" as apposed to active and inactive plugins?

Hi Tim,

If you set a plugin to be a "system plugin" means that once you put it into the plugins folder, it is automatically activated and it doesn't give you the ability to de-activate it.

It's mostly used for plugins that would cause the website to break if they were deactivated. The plugins you get from us are not set to be system plugins by default.

Hope this helps clarify.

Hey Jason,

How can I set a plugin as a system plugin?

If a particular plugin was set as a system plugin, would it still be disabled in the "Public Demo" mode?

This relates to my post at http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=87841

Thanks,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hi Jerry,

You have to change a plugin's header to make it a system plugin,

Here's and example of a system plugin header:

<?php

If it's a system plugin, it shouldn't be disabled as a result of using demo mode.

Hope this helps
