ctools_plugin_get_class in includes/plugins.inc

Get a class from a plugin, if it exists. If the plugin is not already loaded, try ctools_plugin_load_class() instead.

File

includes/plugins.inc, line 807

Contains routines to organize and load plugins. It allows a special variation of the hook system so that plugins can be kept in separate .inc files, and can be either loaded all at once or loaded only when necessary.

Code

function ctools_plugin_load_class($module, $type, $id, $class_name, $abstract = FALSE) {
  $plugin = ctools_get_plugins($module, $type, $id);
  return ctools_plugin_get_class($plugin, $class_name, $abstract);
}
