I’d like to announce the official release of the updated If File Exists plugin (v2.0) for WordPress.
Check if a file exists and return true/false or display a string containing information about the file.
Recommended feature update. Highlights: added c2c_if_plugin_file_exists() and c2c_if_theme_file_exists(); added %file_directory% and %file_extension%; added hooks for customization; minor fixes and tweaks; renamed blog_time() to c2c_blog_time(); renamed class; verified WP 3.0 compatibility.
For more details, instructions, screenshots, and the download link, visit the plugin’s official homepage at :

Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.
