Guys, I searched on this forums for more than 30 minutes to answer some questions about the layer conversion and the new functions to use with mysqli on RavenNuke but unfortunatetly I coudn't find so many results.

I found this one which I understand very well but since we have this version of RavenNuke almost none of old blocks and modules work with RavenNuke and I would like to get examples of new functions in order to update myself and to be able to make new modules.

I found this link which I do know very well and I got the point.
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Example of what I got learned myself.

old

Code:
if (eregi("block-Shout_Box.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

    Header("Location: index.php");
    die();
}


new and everybody should use it if you make any new module.

Code:
if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {

   Header('Location: ../index.php');
   die();
}


Old

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

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


New and the right way to do it is:

Code:
if(!defined('MODULE_FILE')) {

   header('Location: ../../index.php');
   die();
}


or

Code:
if (!defined('MODULE_FILE')) die('You can\'t access this file directly...');


Old

Code:
include("header.php");


New

Code:
include_once('header.php');


Note: How is possible to be able to make a new module when there is nowhere explanation of what we should use with new mysqli functions. I was never so confused with this version. Lots of secrets to discover.

New way to hide right blocks

Code:
$index = 0;

if (!defined('INDEX_FILE')) define('INDEX_FILE', true); // Set to FALSE to hide right blocks
if (defined('INDEX_FILE') AND INDEX_FILE === true) {
   // auto set right blocks for pre patch 3.1 compatibility
   $index = 1;
}


This part above is really beautiful and should be the correct way.

Now it comes some questions.

I noticed these codes all the time but in the wiki there is no explanation about it.

Code:
         echo '<div class="text-center centered">' . PHP_EOL

            . '   <p class="title">' . $sitename . '</p>' . PHP_EOL
            . '   <br /><br />' . _NOINFO4TOPIC . '<br /><br />' . PHP_EOL
            . '   [ <a href="modules.php?name=News">' . _GOTONEWSINDEX . '</a> | <a href="top.htmlics">' . _SELECTNEWTOPIC . '</a> ]' . PHP_EOL
            . '</div>';


We are using this piece of code at the end ' . PHP_EOL of any html tags. What is that and why are we using that suddenly?

Does ' . PHP_EOL must come with this code:

Code:
if (!defined('PHP_EOL')) define ('PHP_EOL', strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3) == 'WIN') ? "\r\n" : "\n");


RavenNuke became really difficult to understand and in my case I do want to do my homework and update all my old modules. I don't want any help or wait for ghost authors or people who abandoned already the field or maybe they are very busy and no time. I got the point but I'm not gonna wait for what is not present.

Maybe it will come lots of question why I don't create new modules or vs. Of course I want to create new things but since there is not good explanations how to create or fix them. I don't want to be a NukeStalker as neralex said to me which I think it is very funny from him and I think this guy could be a good help in the future or RavenNuke.

Maybe you think I only want you to help me or I want you to do it for me. No, I do want to do it myself but since there is only negative things and not good details in what we are talking it is impossible to learn from you. Maybe I am a hard student to understand but believe me. I've got never so many missing parts in a lesson and this could be because of your advance knowledges. I understand it but some other people wants to learn to. Yesterday, Almost everyday I spend hours testing, searching for issues. In the past I started creating new modules. It was really easy. Now it is useless...I can't even know how to star. I hope you understand my point. This is not my language and that could be an issue sometimes.


Clarify this please.

Code:
// First time install

if ($installoption == "firsttimer") {
    opentable();

    echo "Installing Table 1<br>";
    $sql = 'CREATE TABLE `' . $user_prefix . '_sexyornot_votetimes` ('
     . ' `voter_nick` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,'
     . ' `voter_time` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,'
     . ' `voted_on_nick` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL'
     . ' ) TYPE = MYISAM ;';
    echo "Done with Table 1 ";
    if (mysql_query($sql)) {
   echo "<img src=\"images/green_dot.gif\"><br>";
} else {
$badinstall = "1";
   echo "<img src=\"images/red_dot.gif\"><br>";


That piece of code doesn't work with RavenNuke but

Code:
// First time install

if ($installoption == "firsttimer") {
    opentable();

    echo "Installing Table 1<br>";
    $sql = 'CREATE TABLE `' . $user_prefix . '_sexyornot_votetimes` ('
     . ' `voter_nick` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,'
     . ' `voter_time` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,'
     . ' `voted_on_nick` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL'
     . ' ) TYPE = MYISAM ;';
    echo "Done with Table 1 ";
    if (db->sql_query($sql)) {
   echo "<img src=\"images/green_dot.gif\"><br>";
} else {
$badinstall = "1";
   echo "<img src=\"images/red_dot.gif\"><br>";



I have this

Code:
$result=$db->sql_query($sql);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&file=big&id=$fileid\">$num Comment(s)</a> || ";
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name\">More...</a>";



How to convert this part

Code:
$num=mysql_numrows($result);



Of course I tried many ways.

Code:
$num=$db->sql_numrows($result);
I got errors If I do this.

I got this

Code:
$sql = "DELETE FROM ".$user_prefix."_sexyornot_comments WHERE `com_pic_id` = $fileid";

mysql_query($sql);
echo ""._DELFILCOMMENTTABLE."<br>";



I tried

Code:
$sql = "DELETE FROM ".$user_prefix."_sexyornot_comments WHERE `com_pic_id` = $fileid";

$db->sql_query($sql);
echo ""._DELFILCOMMENTTABLE."<br />";



Neither worked!

That's why I can not understand what function we should use to replace the old code. I read the folder from RavenNuke which says deprecated. Those things I know but do not answer my questions.

Sorry if I make this forum long but I think I do have lots of questions about this new version.

I think all of the new mysqli statements are commented in msqli.php. Why don't you try a look in this file? You found in this file many answers to your questions. The rest you will found on php.net! PHP_EOL is an constant to define the End Of Line. Its for me a good way to get a clear code-view in the browser without using double slashes.

What change should I do to these codes?

Code:
$file_id = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_id");

$file_cat = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_cat");
$file_name = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_name");
$file_comment = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_comment");
$file_score = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_score");
$file_total_votes = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_total_votes");
$file_member = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_member");
$file_last_rate = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_last_rate");
$file_one = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_one");
$file_two = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_two");
$file_three = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_three");
$file_four = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_four");
$file_five = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_five");
$file_six = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_six");
$file_seven = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_seven");
$file_eight = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_eight");
$file_nine = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_nine");
$file_ten = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_ten");
$file_approve = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_approve");
$ip_address = mysql_result($result, $i, "file_ip_addy");
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$user_prefix."_sexyornot_cat WHERE cat_id='$file_cat'"));
$cat_id = $row['cat_id'];
$cat_title = $row['cat_title'];
$cat_info = $row['cat_info'];
$cat_path = $row['cat_path'];
$cat_visible = $row['cat_visible'];
$something1 = $row['cat_visible'];



Can you give me an example, plz? Question

What do you search is not a copy & paste solution. Without a intensive look into the code of the module is that not easy to say. You have posted self an example of PHP_EOL. The question is, in which context you want to use the functions. Without the informations is it hard to understand, what do you want.

BTW Look into a theme.php an search for opentable. I think you will see the solution with the first view. Also you can do it with the rest of modules. Activate the error-reporting and the rnlogs in the rnconfig.php. But be carefull, do it only on a local environment. Search in the existent modules for examples and try it out. The best one is, you install a local server like xampp or wamp on your pc and try it all with a local test environment. If you do it online, you will risk security issues.

I read all this already and to tell you the truth I can not understand it at all. I need to see examples. Can you just convert the first file index.php from the old module I post above? The rest I will do it myself but I need to know and compare why this module is not working. Thanks for the link.

unicornio,

This kind of help is not w/i the normal and accepted standards for forum help. I would suggest that you try placing a post in the Help Wanted forum and offer to pay someone to do conversions.
