Custom message after plugin installation
After an installation process, the translated manifest description from the sys.ini-file is shown in the Extension Manager. Unfortunately this text is also shown while editing the (published) plugin parameters.
/plugins/system/my_plugin/manifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="plugin" version="3.8" group="system" method="upgrade">
<name>PLG_NAME</name>
<description>PLG_DESCRIPTION</description>
/plugins/system/my_plugin/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_system_my_plugin.sys.ini
PLG_DESCRIPTION="This text is shown after installation AND as description of enabled plugins"
Is it possible to shown a custom message after installation/update in the Extension Manager?
And only at this point.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is absolutely possible. You have to create/use an install script.php file in your installable plugin folder which will include tasks on different points of installation, uninstallation, update, preflight or postflight tasks:
For a module, a script class would look like this:
class mod_helloWorldInstallerScript
{
public function __construct(JAdapterInstance $adapter)
{
// construct here... it could be left empty
}
/*
install, update, preflight... functions here
*/
/**
* Called on installation
*/
public function install(JAdapterInstance $adapter)
{
echo 'Your custom message on installation';
}
// In this function you can also display your custom message in
// the Extension Manager after install ie.
function postflight($type, $parent)
{
echo '<p>Anything here happens after the installation/update/uninstallation of the module</p>';
echo JText::_('PLG_MY_CUSTOM_TEXT_AFTER_INSTALL');
}
}
Same for plugins... except you call the class: plg_mypluginInstallerScript
