Bug #22553

t3lib_extMgm should provide API to determine whether ext is installed or not
100%
Description
For a long time "t3lib_extMgm::isLoaded()" was used to determine whether an extension is installed or not . but due to the "doNotLoadInFE" feature the result of "isLoaded" might not be enough to determine whether the extension really exists or not.
Therefore I propose to add a related "isInstalled" method.
Why is that relevant - check https://svn.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Extensions/tt_news/trunk/pi/class.tx_ttnews.php - where "t3lib_extMgm::isLoaded('version')" is used to determine whether "versioning" is enabled or not. This worked fine for years but doesn't anymore due to the fact that "version" is not loaded in the frontend.

Quoting what Joey wrote in #19739:
We already got globalString, which can use a regular expression on
TSFE:TYPO3_CONF_VARS|EXT|extList_FE

Is this feature request still valid or does something already changed here?

The issue is no longer present. The property "doNotLoadInFE" has been removed (in TYPO3 6.0 I think) so that this property can no longer distort the results of "t3lib_extMgm::isLoaded()".
