title: Magento module disabled in admin but still shows as enabled when checking in front-end
body: <p>When checking if the module is enabled or not I found this code </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Mage::getConfig()->getModuleConfig('Mage_Checkout')->is('active',
    'true')</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But I think this is only applicable for modules that has <code>&lt;active&gt;</code> tag in the <code>config.xml</code>. In my case I disabled the <strong>Mage_Checkout module</strong> in the admin but it always shows active when I tried to call the function.</p>
  
  <p>Is there another way to check if a certain module is disabled in the admin area? Thanks for the help!</p>
