Description
So,
As I developed a plugin that support multiple extensions, I have in plugin folder two files, i.e.
/GreatPlugin/ExtensionA.php (with "Plugin Name: Extension A" in header)
/GreatPlugin/ExtensionB.php (with "Plugin Name: Extension B" in header)
So if I upload plugin manually, I activate the one I want.
But if I upload via "Upload ZIP" and after extraction I see "activate" button, it somewhy without any clear reason activates the first one.
In the correct scenario, it should:
- Either show me a list on that POST-UPLOAD-AND-EXTRACT screen which exact plugin to activate.
- Or it would have to activate ALL plugins in the plugin folder.
NOTE (if someone has a question why the hell you may ever need to have two plugin activations in same plugin folder), the answer is:
- No code duplication (same /<PLUGIN_FOLDER>/Models/, /<PLUGIN_FOLDER>/Controllers/ and /<PLUGIN_FOLDER>/Views/ content, only the /UI/ folder content is different per extension).
- WordPress does allows me to do that - and there is no logical restriction why it should not allow to do that - as in MVC & Libraries world the 'extensions' are very common solution to not to have so-called 'dependency hell' - different library version in different plugin folder, while it is actually same plugin just with different extensions).
