Can't add new modules

Hi, i don't know if it's because of updating to version
7.3, or something else. But i can't add more modules.
When i put a module in het modules folder, it won't be
shown in the modules configuration or navigation.

To make it more understandeble i've added this picture:

I have uploaded the folders: KTA1on1 and KTA2on2 to html/modules/
It contains allmost the exact information as the KTArules folder (wich IS working).
I even tried with an official PHPNuke module by renaming the
folder, but it didn't show up in the list.

Can someone help me to get back the auto detection of new modules?

Thanks,
Dr.Bullet

Go into your admin/modules/modules.php
somewhere around line 39 (probably)
and try this line instead..

Code:

$db->sql_query("insert into " . $prefix . "_modules values (NULL, '$modlist[$i]', '$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '', '1', '0', '')");

Hello,

I downgraded from 7.7 to 7.6 phpNuke and got the same problem ...

Great fix, it works also for my normal phpNuke 7.6.

But, how does this happen, or in other words, what does this fix do ? My modules.php was the normal distributed file, from 7.6 ?

when you go in there do you delete something or just add this I cannot add any modules to my site after upgrading to 7.7. this is what I have around line 39

$handle=opendir('modules');
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ( (!ereg("[.]",$file)) ) {
$modlist .= "$file ";
}
}
closedir($handle);
$modlist = explode(" ", $modlist);
sort($modlist);
for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($modlist); $i++) {
if($modlist[$i] != "") {
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT mid from " . $prefix . "_modules where title='$modlist[$i]'"));
$mid = intval($row['mid']);
if ($mid == "") {
$db->sql_query("insert into " . $prefix . "_modules values (NULL, '$modlist[$i]', '$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '1', '0', '')");
}
}

I tried to rename a folder in the Module folder then it dont show up anymore

hi lanny,

first bring everything back to how it was...
dont rename something cause in the situation mods dont show it wont show either when renaming..

just go to (as you posted)..

Code:

$handle=opendir('modules');
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ( (!ereg("[.]",$file)) ) {
$modlist .= "$file ";
}
}
closedir($handle);
$modlist = explode(" ", $modlist);
sort($modlist);
for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($modlist); $i++) {
if($modlist[$i] != "") {
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT mid from " . $prefix . "_modules where title='$modlist[$i]'"));
$mid = intval($row['mid']);
if ($mid == "") {
$db->sql_query("insert into " . $prefix . "_modules values (NULL, '$modlist[$i]', '$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '1', '0', '')");
}
}

and change it to...

Code:

$handle=opendir('modules');
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ( (!ereg("[.]",$file)) ) {
$modlist .= "$file ";
}
}
closedir($handle);
$modlist = explode(" ", $modlist);
sort($modlist);
for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($modlist); $i++) {
if($modlist[$i] != "") {
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT mid from " . $prefix . "_modules where title='$modlist[$i]'"));
$mid = intval($row['mid']);
if ($mid == "") {
$db->sql_query("insert into " . $prefix . "_modules values (NULL, '$modlist[$i]', '$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '', '1', '0', '')");
}
}

I when and put in the code that you showed and it still will not show the new folders in the modules I starting to wish I had not updated to 7.7 from 7.5 at least they worked in that

sorry i didnt get the mail of your reply..
well..sounds hard but nobody forced you to upgrade,most people do that because others are doing it..
why you think forums are so overcrowded?
If something works and your happy leave it alone,so dont touch it..

The basic underlying issue here is that the sql statement is trying to insert information into a field that does not exist - the number of values in the insert statement MUST match up with corresponding fields in the database, otherwise you have issues...

Why it changes between versions is another story. No one but FB knows why FB does what he does..

hope that helps..

This is all caused by Google Tap if you use the hack to have *.html links in your Modules menu. It's a missed instruction on adding that hack:

Quote:

*Manual Instruction for admin/modules/modules.php:
Find:
sql_query("insert into ".$prefix."_modules values (NULL, '$modlist[$i]', '$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '1')", $dbi);
Replace With:
sql_query("insert into ".$prefix."_modules values (NULL, '$modlist[$i]', '$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '1', NULL)", $dbi);

from OLD Google Tap 0.4

from:

Quote:

Admin Modules Tweak for Default Nuke Main Menu
for Google Tap - GT-NExtGeN_0.4

I can't believe I found those instructions...crazy.
