Porting my first module

Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2004 11:20 am

Ok I'm going to port into Raven's 7.3 disto a cookbook module. I have the php code that works great, but would like to have it work seamless with my nuke.

Currently anyone can submit/review/vote on recipes. Once I'm more comfortable with working with nuke I'll change it shows whom submitted/reviewed/voted and a few more tweaks. Right now for it to just show up as a module, have all the blocks where they are suppose to be and the script working will make me happy Very Happy

I've been taking apart other modules to see how they tick. I think I have a vague idea of what to do Laughing

Any quick tips to make it go easy?

The way I always start out is to simply "wrap" the main php file in the nuke module wrapper. That gives me a glimpse into the future effort Wink

(note the "include" line)

Code:

<?php


if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {


    die ("You can't access this file directly...");


}





$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));





$index = 1;





include("header.php");


OpenTable();





include("cookbook_main_file.php");





CloseTable();


include("footer.php");


?>

I had the upper part, but not the lower part Smile

The colors match the theme and blocks are there. Now I just have to figure out 2 errors.

(Note: I tried to post them before but a black screen popped up saying I was banned .... so I'm not going to do that again Laughing
