In the forum header for plugins there is a field for dependencies. I know how to get a Plugin ID to put in the dependency field, but...

How do I get an Extension ID?

As an example, I have a plugin that requires:

https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=336374
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=317175
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=321696

That last link is plugin id 6954.
How do I get the extension id for the first two links to put in the dependency field?
Does the dependency field even work with extensions?

PHP Code:

void UnloadAccelerator()
{
    int extid = -1;

    char sBuffer[512];
    ServerCommandEx(sBuffer, sizeof sBuffer, "sm exts list");

    if(SplitString(sBuffer, "] Accelerator (", sBuffer, sizeof sBuffer) != -1)
    {
        for(int i = strlen(sBuffer); i >= 0; i--) if(sBuffer[i] == '[') extid = StringToInt(sBuffer[i + 1]);
    }

    if(extid != -1)
    {
        ServerCommand("sm exts unload %i", extid);
        ServerExecute();
    }
} 


try?

Thank you @Solar1234, I appreciate your reply. However, I am not trying to get the loaded extension id, I am trying to get the AlliedModders extension id that would go in the dependency section when creating/editing the header of a plugin thread. For example, if you look at the plugin I posted here, at the top left you can see "Plugin ID: 8701". In the header for that plugin I entered "6954" into the "Dependencies" field so it would know Left 4 DHooks Direct is a dependency, and you can see that displayed for "Plugin Dependencies" between "Plugin Category" and "Plugin Description".

At this point, I suspect the "Dependencies" field only supports Plugin IDs and does not track/support Extension IDs.

To any moderators reading this, it would be a nice forum upgrade to just use thread ids in the dependency section instead of plugin ids so an author could mark any AlliedModders thread as a dependency and the forum could provide a link to that thread just like it does now with plugin ids.
