Plugin Structure¶

Plugin should have index.php for both admin panel and frontend.

There is a way to import mysql dump files during a plugin or package installation.

<install>
    <import type="sql">USA.sql</import>
</install>

The appropriate SQL dump file should be placed into includes/dumps/ folder.

Implement the confirmation when importing dumps.
There should be an ability to specify each import as optional.
Example:

    <import type="sql" optional="1" description="Canadian ZIP codes">my-dump.sql</import>
or
    <import type="sql" interact="confirmation/forced" description="Canadian ZIP codes">my-dump.sql</import>

In this case the script has to ask the user "Would you like to install Canadian ZIP codes?" when installing a package.
