What happens when this extension is disabled?

What is removed:

• The MySQL table "civicrm_fountaintribe_yahrzeits_temp"
• The API used by the scheduled job "Call AllHebrewDates.Calculate API"
• The custom searches described in this README
• The tokens described in this README
• The APIs described in this README

What is left:

• The CiviCRM custom field sets, custom fields, and other CiviCRM configurations described in this README.

What happens when this extension is disabled, then re-enabled? Or uninstalled then re-installed?

During enablement, the extension checks for the existence of the various CiviCRM configurations described in this README. If everything already exists, then nothing is changed. If anything is missing, then it is created.

For example:

• The custom relationship type "Yahrzeit observed by" does not exist. Yet all the other configurations exist, such as all the custom fields already exist.

• The relationship type "Yahrzeit observed by" will be created during enablement. No other configurations are created or changed.

• The MySQL temp tables are always recreated.

• Changing labels is NOT RECOMMENDED as your environment will no longer match the user documentation/videos.
