Add a UDT on installation of a new module

[chunteler]

Hi,
I'm using CMSMS 1.12.
I'm busy developing a module for a customer.
Is it possible to have a UDT created on installation of a module? How?
Thanks.

There are a few API methods to do that: http://apidoc.cmsmadesimple.org/classes ... tions.html

Just use them on your install method.
Untested, but should be something like this:

Code: Select all

$usertagops = cmsms()->GetUserTagOperations();
$tagname = 'foo';
$tagtext = '/* some tag code */';

if( !$usertagops::UserTagExists($tagname) )
{
  $usertagops::SetUserTag($tagname, $tagtext);
}

Great! Thanks.

Just notice I made a mistake, called the methods statically on a non static context, sorry correction follows:

Code: Select all

$usertagops = cmsms()->GetUserTagOperations();
$tagname = 'foo';
$tagtext = '/* some tag code */';

if( !$usertagops->UserTagExists($tagname) )
{
  $usertagops->SetUserTag($tagname, $tagtext);
}

Yes, I had already corrected that.
Another question: I have quite some PHP code to set inside the $tagtext variable with single en double quotes. How can I best add my code?

Ok. Forget my last reply. I figured it out.
Another question:
Which code can I use to make sure the UDT is removed when the module in uninstalled.
