Custom Module problem

New Member Joined: Jun 23, 2005 Posts: 16

This page has the following form in it. Lets call the address
modules.php?name=thispage

Code:

$class1 = $_REQUEST['class1'];


  $class2 = $_REQUEST['class2'];





  if ( isset( $_REQUEST['hide'] ) )


  { $hide = $_REQUEST['hide']; }


  else


  { $hide = ""; }





  echo "<form method=\"GET\">\n";


  echo "<select name=\"class1\">\n";





$sql = "SELECT C.name, S.name AS name_en


  FROM Classes AS C, SysStrings as S


  WHERE C.sys_id = S.id  AND C.min_level > 0


  ORDER BY S.name;";





  //echo "<pre>" . $sql . "</pre>";


  $result = mysql_query($sql); 





  while ( $info = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )


  {


    echo "<option value=\"" . $info['name'];


    if ( $info['name'] == $class1 )


      echo "\" selected>";


    else


      echo "\">";


    echo $info['name_en'] . "\n";


  }





  echo "</select>\n";


  echo "<select name=\"class2\">\n";





$sql = "SELECT C.name, S.name AS name_en


  FROM Classes AS C, SysStrings as S


  WHERE C.sys_id = S.id AND C.min_level > 0


  ORDER BY S.name;";





  //echo "<pre>" . $sql . "</pre>";


  $result = mysql_query($sql); 





  while ( $info = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )


  {


    echo "<option value=\"" . $info['name'];


    if ( $info['name'] == $class2 )


      echo "\" selected>";


    else


      echo "\">";


    echo $info['name_en'] . "\n";


  }





  echo "</select>\n";


  echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"hide\">Hide\n";


  echo "<input type=\"SUBMIT\" value=\"Compare\">\n";


  echo "</form>\n";

Problem I'm running into is;
While this page works great by itsself (thispage.php), inside a nuke module its failing. Once you press submit the page is returned as
modules.php?class1=****&class2**** instead of
modules.php?name=thispage&class1=****&class2=****

What did I do wrong? Or how can I fix this?

Thanks for any help that you can give.

Code:

echo "<form method=\"GET\">\n";

You need to add the action property like this

Code:

echo "<form action=\"modules.php?name=$module_name\" method=\"GET\">\n";

Tried hard coding that in there before
echo "<form action =\"modules.php?name=mymodulename\" method=\"GET\">

I know your way is best and allows for the user to change the folder name.
Will try this tonight.

Still have to go thru all the pages and clean them up, I'm still learning so its pretty nasty in there. Things that were added in a "hmmm I wonder what this does" and then forgot to take them out Smile

Also screwing around with this last night, simply changing GET to POST fixed it. I only posted the form cause I thought that was where my problem was. I didn't post the rest of the page, you probably would have screamed, slapped me with a trout and told me to change it to Post Smile

Thanks for the help mate
