Modules Administration doesn't show icons

New Member Joined: Dec 16, 2006 Posts: 18

I have installed rwsRavenNuke76_v2.02.02 after I did a downgrade from 7.9.
Only problem I am having is the Modules Administration only shows
the logout icon. I have done everything I can think of to get them to show
and nothing has worked. I reinstalled every file cleaned up the database
removed all useless entries and still I can't get them to show.
I can't access any of the modules with there own admin folders.
Can anyone help with this?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place

Why not install 2.10.01?

Are you sure the images for the icons got uploaded? Maybe they are corrupt or zero size? Maybe it was a bad ftp. Check the images/admin folder and see if the images are there. Use a good ftp client like FileZilla (free from SourceForge.net).

Or, it sounds to me like you might not be logged in as the God admin. You might want to look at your nuke_authors table and see if you are using the first entry's user to log in....

That is fine... since this has come from a 7.9 downgrade, it can be difficult to debug. However, if 2.02.02 was "new at the time", then you have been battling this for quite some time! 2.10.x is a much better branch to be working with now....

You may have to use something like mySQLDiff to compare your database structure to that of a fresh virgin install of 2.02.02 as it will very quickly highlight structural disconnects.

It has not been a problem until I decided to use the module called Simple Cart.
The admin section on comes up in that spot. I was using the case, links and
modules files that were in from 7.9. So I didn't really need that section to show
until now.
I did a compare the db with another site I run with 2.02 installed and working
I removed everything in my db that didn't compare to the other.
So do you thin that 2.10 will fix the problem?

Well, this is pertinent information. Basically what you are saying is that the Administration Control Panel worked prior to you installing Simple Cart. So, this is not an issue with your downgrade OR with RavenNuke (so the RN version does not apply). <sigh>

So, what we're left with is an issue with either your version of Simple Cart or your installation of it. That is a completely different problem statement to deal with.

I am now guessing that there is a logic problem with the links.php file. I would compare what you have to other modules that came with RavenNuke. The key may be for what version of PHP-Nuke is your Simple Cart module for?

This has been covered in another recent thread but, since it's fresh and I still have the program open in my editor I'll repeat it here. What shows up as module icons is determined by this code in admin.php ...

Code:

      if ($radminsuper == 1 OR $auth_user == 1) {


         if (file_exists('modules/'.$row['title'].'/admin/index.php') AND file_exists('modules/'.$row['title'].'/admin/links.php') AND file_exists('modules/'.$row['title'].'/admin/case.php')) {


            include_once('modules/'.$row['title'].'/admin/links.php');

So, if you look in your modules directory and then within each module, in each case where there is an admin directory and within that a links and a case and an index.php file ... and where the links.php has a correct reference to an image file, the image should show up under the modules heading on the admin screen. That's why Gremmie was asking about the images file.

(Gosh I see M. has posted while I'm composing this Smile

... but to take up where he left off ... what I would look for is (1) is your directory structure for modules intact or did SimpleCart do anything to it, and (2) was any change made to admin.php by SimpleCart? You might also try moving the SimpleCart /modules/admin out of the path (if you just rename it temporarily that should do the trick) and see if that changes anything. It could be something in the Simplecart links.php that's fouling up the works. But basically once you understand how this works you should have the tools to diagnose it.

I think I confused you guys a little so let me start back at the begining.
I install simple cart (which works) but the admin section of simple cart
has to be place in the Modules Administration since it has its own admin
folder inside the module its self. After I installed it I never seen the
icon for it in the admin.php at all. Then I started looking around the
modules folder and notice that serveral of the modules had there own
admin folders inside. So then I look inside my actual admin/case,link and modules
folders and seen that I had case, link and module files for the all the others as well.
I never had more then the log out icon in Modules Administration (even
before simple cart) but it was never an issue because the case, link and module
folders inside my admin folder still had the proper links (must have been from 7.9)
So I figured that maybe the case, link and module files where in some way conflicting
with the modules/admin folders so I picked through and removed the ones that
were not needed inside the admin folder(case, link and modules) until I had
it the same as Ravens, still no links in the Modules Administration . Then I
took each file that was in the original Ravens 2.02 and reinstalled them from
the core directory to themes still the same. Then last night I did a fresh install in a
fresh db and use the same version so I could compare the sql's. I found several
Primary and Key issues and a few missing entries that I added. Which by the way
fixed a couple of other problems I had Laughing

. But even though all that still no
icons in Modules Administration except the logout one. I know its got to be something
simple but I have gone as far as I can without mashing something. I don't
want to do a fresh install due to the information, members, etc. I tried
importing all of my information on the fresh db I mentioned and it was
unsuccessful. I got users and a couple of other things in before it became
a pain.

If you have never had more than the log out icon in the Admin panel, Modules Admin, something's been really hosed for a long time! Shocked

Is your admin.php file original or has it been modified?

original

Did you ever tried another browser or another template to check the path (red X) of the images ? I had some similar issues used 6.5 before I updated to RavenNuke and got all fixed. It took me 3 days to find out why the images in Your Account in DeepBlue didn´t displayed there. The problem was just a wrong .htaccess in a folder.

no red x's at all
