The code that you see above is the code that i will use (or just made actually) to check if extensions are loaded or not. atthis moment i`m checking for 14 extensions but it might get bigger (mbstring mightget in aswell). This check (actual checking code won`t be posted.. still working on that) isn`t causing anything bad for your magedb installation.. it will just inform you about the status of your MageDB and how you can improve the functionallity of MageDB. the users won`t notice a thing with this check.
The users WILL likely (you can turn that on/off) see a custom error message if GD and I(mage)magick are not enabled. this is because image gd/imagemagick is being used to generate the thumbnails on MageDB and without it you won`t see any images at all (unless you have choosen not to thumbnail the images or if there are thumbnails in the cache.
i will post some more on this checking and how it looks later on. also not that the above code isn`t done like the actual checking code but it`s just to give you a impression of what extensions are gonna be used with MageDB.
till next blog.
