Hi,

I have a very urgent question.

I am creating a component that will rely on plugins later.

The big question is did one of you ever build a component in where you can install new features ?

I know JCE does it, but I think they just took the Joomla! installer and rebuild it into what they could use.

Well, I really would like to have an plugin installer in my component.

Thanxs !

You could do this using the Installer framework package in Joomla! 1.5 relatively easily but I would suggest you try to get your architecture to work utilizing the existing Joomla! extension types.  Joomla! plugins can usually do much more than the core suggests they can, if you are creative, you will more than likely be able to utilize the Joomla! core plugin system to have a plugin system specific to your component.
