Adding new modules -- doesn't

New Member Joined: Apr 07, 2006 Posts: 16

When I am new modules, they are not automatically inserted into the database. The modules.php is unchanged from the one provided with RavenNuke 2.02.00.

Any ideas what could have caused this?

Thanks,
HL

Please confirm this......
Install the module
Go to nuke admin, select modules
when the screen regenerates you still do not have the newly installed module listed in the listed modules?

Also, was this a brand new installation of RN76 2.x or did you upgrade from a previous nuke installation?

Use phpMyAdmin and post the structure of your modules table

There are 3 million people out there now who know exactly where this is going Wink

Obviously, Guardian2003, I am not one of those 3 million, but here's the structure. Please let me know where I screwed up.

Thanks,
HL

nuke_modules
Field Type Null Default
mid int(10) No
title varchar(255) No
custom_title varchar(255) No
active int(1) No 0
view int(1) No 0
groups text No
inmenu tinyint(1) No 1
mod_group int(10) Yes 0
admins varchar(255) No

Indexes:
Keyname Type Cardinality Field
PRIMARY PRIMARY 28 mid

You'll be glad to know that no gremlins have crept in during the installation process and you did a first class job - that structure is correct.

We have had occassional situations where the 'install groups' step was missed during the installation process or through browser issues, the sql did not run to update the three tables concerned.
The nuke_modules table is one of those 3, which is why Evaders asked you to post the structure, so we can see the process completed.

The reason why Montego asked if this was a fresh install or an upgrade is because there is one specific file which updates this table and if the number of fields in the table does not match the number of fields in the file, it produces the exact problem you are experiencing.

You have obviously installed a module or modules of some description into this brand new installation as you were astute enough to recognise it/they were not getting updated in the list so, the next question is aimed at determining if the field matching I mentioned earlier in this post has been compromised.
Usually it is the installation of GT NextGen which causes the problem so if you can provide the name(s) of any modules you have installed we can quickly determine if one of them was the cause or we need to look elsewhere.

Thanks for helping me understand, Guardian.

Can you verify whether the file you were referring to was
root/admin/modules/modules.php?

I am a newbie to PHP, but not to programming. I have worked with Object Pascal and Delphi for 12 years. Presently, I am the development manager of a California software company. I only point this out, so that you want think I am incompetent, but apparently I still have much to learn about PHP.

I had attempted to install PayPalNuke, which had me modify 5 files. After making the changes everything worked as before, but I did not see the PayPalNuke modules. I then reverted those 5 files back to those in the original RavenNuke zip, but that did not fix the problem.

Those files were:
root/mainfile.php
root/modules.php
root/admin/modules/blocks.php
root/admin/modules/messages.php
root/admin/modules/modules.php

Following your explanation, I have double-checked to see that all 5 of these has been reverted back to the originals. Unfortunately, the problem still exists.

Anything else I should check? The only other module I have tried was one to load an HTML page into nuke. It required no database changes, just an index file with a language folder.

Make sure your root/admin/modules/modules.php has this line

Code:




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

It does. I counted the fields in the insert statement, comparing with the table structure, and all is well there. I am tempted to blow everything out and start over. ;0 }

One way to check that the query works is to just spit out to the browser

Code:




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


die();

and then input it back into phpMyAdmin
