While I was helping Acajoom developer to make a CB plugin I encountered the following "problem". They want the newsletter componentn install all the stuff when the component is installed. I.e. the install.php file of the component manually installs the mambots, modules and cb plugin. This is a bit cumbersome.
Is it possible to call CB plugin installer from another installer? How?
perhaps if you looked at the html source ( after your browser renders it ) of the install section of the backend, and looked towards figuring out how the "install from directory" form works you could just pass along the variables manually to the form...
