xoops_version.php called when -- by what -- if ??

I am modifying the articles module and would like to know what criteria makes the xoops_version.php file get included when a page is loaded. If the module is active is it always loaded? Is it only loaded when the module is installed and its variables stored in the database?

I hope you get my drift and thanks for answering.

The xoops_version.php is called everytime by XOOPS when the module is installed and active. The item' such as Module[config] and templates are stored within the database, but other item will be accessed in realtime (as such).

I think I can honestly say I was one of the first to realise that this file could be used more than it is and can be used for much more.

Is this documented? I would also like to know more about it.

Re: xoops_version.php called when -- by what -- if ??

a module's xoops_version.php is read when the XoopsModule::getInfo() method is invoked.

This method is invoked on module installation/update/uninstall and by the main menu block - for active modules with a weight above zero and a main menu item. Also notification items in xoops_version.php are read by notification functions, comment items by comment functions.

You cannot rely on xoops_version.php to execute code for you on every page, if that is what you want.
