I run a WoW guild website and I'm looking for a module (or something I can put on the modules menu block) or something similar that would look like one big admin message that would replace the genter blocks and leave the blocks on the right if possible. I hope this isnt too confusing. Thanks!

If you want it to appear on the modules menu, you must make a custom module (not that difficult - look for guides on how to do this). Another option is to use the content module or some other existing module that would allow you to display the text on the first page. But this approach might cause other issues - like trying to make a link.

Ok, cool, is there a good tutorial or program (free please Very Happy

) for making modules that I could find somewhere?

Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2006 6:16 pm

Yes, there is even a tool that helps, but I'm not sure it will work with the latest patches.

You can start with the PHPNuke How To available here.

Ok well the content module looks like it will work just fine for what I'm trying to do. One thing though is, id there a way to make the blocks on the right show up when someone accesses the module?

You can find that in the How To manual, too. Hint: $index = 1;

Ok, I'm starting to get this stuff lol. I need to put in $index = 0

The problem is that I'm clueless when it comes to coding. It looks like it would be near the beginning of the file. Here is the index.php file for the content module:

Now where should I put this code so that I wouldnt kill the module Very Happy

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 1:31 am

Your close, but not quite there. Your patch level is about 3.2 and Id recomend you read the patch documents on 3.2.

Ohh man I cant hold it back well heres a tip, if it WASNT patched(which I can see it is from the code) it would be $index=1;

$index=0; is the same as $index=""; or nothing at all

so read the documents on the patch level, Then remember it WAS index=1; now what does the patch level docs tell you to change that to?

Next is where,

if (!defined('MODULE_FILE')) {

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

}
paste it below that, Theres another clue, the defined within the if bracket Wink

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 7:20 am

If this really IS 3.1 or greater, I believe to get the right blocks to show, you need to instead use:

define('INDEX_FILE',true);

This was changed in the later patches for better security.

Of course, if $index=1 works, then you are NOT at these higher patch levels... but should be. Wink

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 8:41 am

Awesome, I put $index = 1 after

if (!defined('MODULE_FILE')) {

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

}

and it worked. Thanks a lot guys!!!

Isn't it pretty satisfying to learn and accomplish at the same time? Keep it up and before long you'll be posting assistance to others here.

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 6:26 pm

I used to work a lot with HTML, so I didnt think PHP would be to much trouble but wow, it's like comparing english to chinese lol. I'm slowly getting it though.

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 6:30 pm

You know, I honestly found it easier to learn php AFTER I started learning javascript.

I think the basic fundamentals are VERY close.

Keep pushing, Youll catch on.

I think we can all say, were still learning. And thus RavensScripts

HTML is a formatting "language" whereas Javascript, PHP, etc. are programming languages. The nice thing about PHP (as compared with, for example, Java) is that PHP supports both procedural and object-oriented programming, instead of imposing one or the other (Java is only object-oriented). That makes is easier to learn (pick your flavor).

Raven offers great reference material in these forums and in the PHP manual on this site. You can sometimes find great ideas and information at php.net - in the comments, especially. Sure, you can find some bad stuff there, too. One of the great things about open source software is that you can see the source others have created - it is often the best tool for learning...enjoy!
