Help Converting a Classifieds module

Involved Joined: Nov 19, 2003 Posts: 282

OKay I got this classifieds module - it was already integrated with nuke. It uses the nuke user table for the login etc.

However it does not run like a module.

I added the standard opening stuff to its index php and it loaded perfectly.
But when I click on a category or something else it does not use index.php - it uses a different php.

So I edited the different.php file and put the standard nuke stuff in the header but when I click on something in the module it crashes
it says:

Warning: main(mainfile.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs/modules/Classifieds/showproduct.php on line 19

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'mainfile.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs/modules/Classifieds/showproduct.php on line 19

I'm sure theres something I can do to bypass this but Im just not sure what. Any suggestions?

I have a cleaned up version of NukeC on my site for download. The latest one (beta 2) has the upload feature fixed and several security fixes. nukeWYSIWYG editor integrated also.

Whats the link for that? I saw an article that said that it was "fixed" but you couldent upload.

Problem is I already paid for this one in part because it handles auctions so Id still want to get this to work for the auctions.

Where is yours? I would run both Smile

Okay Duh - got it- am installing it now.

Still though - What can be done about this mainfile issue? Any ideas?

How did you include mainfile in showproduct.php?

First I tried this:
define('INDEX_FILE', true); //comment this out to hide right blocks
if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) { $index = 1; } else {$index = 0; } // auto set right blocks for pre patch 3.1 compatibility

require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
$pagetitle = "- Community Classifieds";

include("header.php");
title("Community Classifieds");

OpenTable();

Then I tried a direct server path to the file:

require_once("/var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs/mainfile.php");

When I did that path to the file the errors stopped but it displayed a blank screen. Sad

It sounds like this will need significant structural changes to make this a module. I would not call it a module it just has an integrated db. Unless you really understand what you need to do I would just try to run it in a simple module with an iframe.

Thats how I started it off - with an iframe. But the frame doesnt change my left and right blocks when people click - it just updates the frame. So I dont get the ad impressions I could get.

Also - If we can run it like a module nuke-sent will be able to somewhat protect it. Curious - Why would it work with its index.php but not another file that acts like index.php - displays data from a table? etc. ?

Oh and Is there a way to force the whole page to update with the frame?

Oh and thanks Nuken - once again you are there Smile
