How might I conditionally add a module in my plugin?

I don't want it added in the dashboard... My dashboard is getting a bit cluttered already.

    i've got no thoughts on other way. what you said.

      if (!preg_match('/dashboard/',$Sender->SelfUrl))
              $Sender->AddModule("SubscribeModule");

    get the buttonbar back - it was much easier to paste code.

    Wow, it's a good question, but also I need a bit of more information. Can you write out the conditions in semi-code? Also in which events to you want to add those modules? I was more thinking 'Smarty' then 'plugin' with your title, if you know what I mean.

    public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
    ...
    if (/* not dashboard */) {
        $Sender->AddModule("SubscribeModule");
    }
    ...
}

    If that makes any sense. I have a plugin, and it's placing a module in this way, so I'm looking for a condition to wrap it in. If you have a better way of doing it, I'm all ears.

    Looks good to me, I don't know my way around plugins yet though. Maybe @Peregrine and @x00 know more to say about this one.

    Thanks @peregrine, the SelfUrl was exactly what I was looking for.

    As an FYI, in 2.1 we have an InSection() function which will allow you to call:

    if (!InSection('Dashboard')) {
   ...
}

    @Todd, are you nearing a 2.1 beta or rc build? Or are you teasing me?

    We are nearing a 2.1 beta, but probably still a month or so away.

    @peregrine I guess :)

    I try to help out where I can, though php is not my favorite and I don't know it that well.
    (If the nilla folks are ever interested in doing a java port with OSGi plugins and stuff... I would totally be a huge contributor to that. I really think it could solve a ton of the problems with translations and stuff)

    le sigh... Maybe @Todd just think's my bird is cute (he's not wrong)
