This function does not take any parameters. The plugin has to return an array listing all the elemts that should be uninstalled. This array needs to have a specific format. Here is a sample for the links plugin: function plugin_autouninstall_links () { $out = array ( /* give the name of the tables, without $_TABLES[] */ 'tables' => array('links','linksubmission'), /* give the full name of the group, as in the db */ 'groups' => array('Links Admin'), /* give the full name of the feature, as in the db */ 'features' => array('links.edit', 'links.moderate', 'links.submit'), /* give the full name of the block, including 'phpblock_', etc */ 'php_blocks' => array(), /* give all vars with their name */ 'vars'=> array() ); return $out; } If you have other things to remove then tables, groups, features, blocks and default values, please remove them before returning the array. If the removal fails, please return "false" instead of the array.
