Plugin Suspension: suspend and resume any WP plugin

This is a set of two dynamic enzymes useful for suspending and resuming another plugin.

Work in progress...

Example

This would be the content of a post of yours. The thingy plugin would be filtering content as usual.

{[ =thingy/thingy.php= | @plugin-suspension.suspend(1) ]}

Here the thingy plugin would be suspended.

{[ =thingy/thingy.php= | @plugin-suspension.resume(1) ]}

Here the thingy plugin would be resumed and working as usual again.

_meta.yaml

version: 1_0_0

plugin-suspension.resume.php

list($plugin) = $arguments;
if (is_plugin_active($plugin)) {
  // if the $plugin is not listening on the current filter at a priority > $plugin's priority in $this->extra
  // then we can 
  //   1. mark the current position in the content with a unique ending ID
  //   3. if not already done, replace $plugin's listener with a wrapper that 
  //        a. will extract all the content between all the starting / ending pairs of unique IDs
  //        b. will apply the original $plugin's listener to the result of a.
  //        c. will restore all extracted content
}

plugin-suspension.suspend.php

list($plugin) = $arguments;
if (is_plugin_active($plugin)) {
  // if the $plugin is listening on the current filter at a priority > current priority
  // then we can hide the content from here up to the corresponding resume like this:
  //   1. mark the current position in the content with a unique starting ID
}
