Magento: Disable module for any particular store

Question

Suppose, I have 3 stores.

I want to disable a module in Store 2. I only want it to be enabled in Store 1 and Store 3.

I see that I can do it by:-

Answer 1

This configuration just disables module output in layout for frontend, but module controllers, event observers, admin pages, etc still working.

Also don't forget to specify your module name in layout files definition, otherwise all the layout file content will be loaded for a particular store:

   
       
           yourlayoutfile.xml
       
   

If you are developing a module and want to disable full its functionality on the frontent for a particular store, then you should create a configuration field of "Yes/No" type and check its value via Mage::getStoreConfigFlag('config/field/path') in your module code.
