Hi,
I have written an installerplugin to show a custom pane in the pkg installer. I want to display the pane only during first install and hide it when upgrading. I know how to find out if the package has already been installed or not but I am not able to figure out the logic of showing/hiding the installerpane based on a runtime decision.
One method I could think of is that the installerplugin contains an Installersection outlet called parentSection. And installersection class has a function shouldload whose return value decides whether the section should be loaded or not. And this article: http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.25/25.06/InstallerPlugins/index.... mentions that the installersection methods can be overloaded. But I am unable to think of a way to overload the functions as parentSection is just an object inside the installerpane class.
I don't know of any official way to hide a plugin once it's there. But you can skip the step by moving to the next/previous step (in most cases) when you are supposed to continue or go back to your installer plugin step./pane. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
