I'm not sure if there is a fix (I'm having the same problem).
If you have phpAdmin or something similar to access your database directly, check your nuke_modules table and manually activate it by editing the field 'active' - change the '0' to a '1'.

Raven,
Re your bug fix in admin/modules/module.php
ro new modules not adding to the Modules menu - I have this in my modules.php
$db->sql_query("insert into ".$prefix."_modules values (NULL, '$modlist[$i]', '$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '1', '0')");

Do you think this is what is causing the problem (the $db->) at the beginning?
This modification was made as part of a security bug fix so I'm loath to change it without your words of wisdom.

Guardian,

That is not in the default released version of nuke v7.0. However, it should work. Try this for fun

Code:

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

Nope, that didn't work. Confused

Was getting a bit exasperated so I commented out my line and added your fix in its place Confused

No joy their either - this is doing my head in!
I created a new folder called 'newtest' in root/Modules and just for fun added a few files in the folder (from Avantgo).

After checking the tables I found no matter what I did, the new 'module' was not being listed.
Then I had a brain wave - not sure why though.
I notes the number of fields and I seemed to be one extra!

I have;
mid, title, custom_title, active, view, inmenu, mcid and lastly mod_group

Now I have to figure out how the mod_group field got in their as I'm sure that is not standard issue Nuke and something I added must have done ALTER TABLE command.

I'll re-post when I find the culprit.
Thanks for your help.

I just checked the install SQL file for Nuke 7.0 Final and although I'm no expert, it seems it did indeed add the 'extra' field 'mod_group'.

Code:

CREATE TABLE nuke_modules (


  mid int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,


  title varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',


  custom_title varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',


  active int(1) NOT NULL default '0',


  view int(1) NOT NULL default '0',


  inmenu tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',


  mod_group int(10) default '0',


  PRIMARY KEY  (mid),


  KEY mid (mid),


  KEY title (title),


  KEY custom_title (custom_title)


) TYPE=MyISAM;

However, you know who didn't include any data for this field when populating the DB e.g.

Code:

INSERT INTO nuke_modules VALUES (1, 'AvantGo', 'AvantGo', 1, 0, 1, 0);

Am I right in thinking these insert commands should have been;

Code:

INSERT INTO nuke_modules VALUES (1, 'AvantGo', 'AvantGo', 1, 0, 1, 0, 0);

to allow for the extra field or am I just too tired to think straight (2.30 in the morning over here).

Now I have had some sleep, I see that mod_group isnt the problem as this ia part of the orignal nuke 7.0+ install sql.
The problem (in my case) seems to be the additional field 'mcid' so now I have to rot round and find out what module added that to my modules table.
