Adding Auto-Activate All to Supporter plugins
I've been meaning to request for some time that you add an "Anyone (Auto-Activate)" feature to the Supporter / Premium Plugins tab, but now I wonder: Would this essentially do the same as Network Activate from the WP Plugins tab?
Then, if we do set a plugin to Network Activate, will it activate on all existing blogs, and new blogs upon creation? That's our goal, and we'd like to avoid any conflicts with the Supporter plugin.
We Premium Plugins enabled, and have set certain plugins to "Anyone" but we would like them auto activated. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Hiya!
Then, if we do set a plugin to Network Activate, will it activate on all existing blogs, and new blogs upon creation? That's our goal, and we'd like to avoid any conflicts with the Supporter plugin.
This is exactly how Network Activate should work. To test, I tried it on the "Hello Dolly" plugin. Network Activated it on a test install with Supporter. Then created a new site. Worked like a charm. You should be good to go! Thanks!

I think it's been suggested for a hook for when Supporter was activated as well as dropped, finished or canceled previously. I think that would be a better method of activating options like the space upgrades instead of checking every time.
edit: Just to throw that in. :)

Agreed. +1

Nice to see someone else with a rep in the 4 digits. :)
Would think such a change would cut down on db calls as well. We all know how much I dislike large numbers of db calls. :)
There have been hooks in there for a long time. There was a bug that didn't fire supporter_withdraw for manual changes, but only paypal. That will be fixed next version.
Hooks on every page load (init):
supporter_active
supporter_inactive
One time hooks (only fired on change):
supporter_extend
supporter_withdraw
Also looks like I can cache is_supporter() too to cut down on queries.
We're all for fewer queries!
So, we can expect a future Supporter version to include the "Anyone (Auto-Activate)" plugins option? Guess we'll find out if Update Notifications is working. ;-)
PS: Now I have rep envy.

Hmmm, I don't remember those hooks.....
As you said, you can just network activate it. The only difference with an auto-anyone would be that they would be able to deactivate it.
@drmike Thank! :D
@jcnjr (@all) Don't be too jealous. Quality over quantity, right! :D
Hi all... I'm still new to multisite so I may be missing something but I have been trying to use the Supporter "auto activate" feature on my plugins and it never seems to auto activate... any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Greetings Harmony :-)
don't you mean "network activate" in the Network Admin?

No, Harmony is talking about using the "Auto Activate" feature of the Supporter plugins option. In previous versions we had problems with certain plugins not auto-activating upon a Supporter blog upgrade, but everything is working as it should now. Make sure you have the most recent version of supporter and supporter-plugins and ensure that all files are in their proper places. Leave the plugins deactivated from the Plugins menu, and select auto-activate from the Supporter -> Premium Plugins page.
The developers here may be able to help troubleshoot if you provide a list of the plugins your using. Good luck!
