[SOLVED] modpath issue

Posted: Wed Jul 10, 2013 3:15 pm

in modules.php

if i try:

Code:




if(file_exists('modulemaker/modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php')) {


            $modpath = 'modulemaker/';


         } else {


            $modpath = '';


         }


         if($name == 'Atest'){


         $modpath .= 'modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php';


         }else{


         $modpath .= 'modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php';


         }

module is stored in: root>modulemaker/modules/Atest

Everything is alright.

If i try:

Code:




         if(file_exists('modulemaker/modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php')) {


            $modpath = 'modulemaker/';


         } else {


            $modpath = '';


         }


         if($name == 'Atest'){


         $modpath .= $name . '/' . $file . '.php';


         }else{


         $modpath .= 'modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php';


         }

module is stored in: root>modulemaker/Atest

Sorry, that module file was not found.

Why it is depending on a modules directory?
Where is that ruled?

A quick search brings me to Groups:

define('_FILENOTFOUND','Sorry, that module file was not found.');

The only language definition is inside the Groups module.
How can it be that this define loads language content of the Groups module?

strange no?

Its not strange, modules are based in the modules folder and all files are forced to this folder, that is simply logical. Was a constant in a module defined, so you can use it in other modules too.

easy or not?

No you not correct.
If i load a module it either loads the language of that module , or it falls back to the default languages.
It should not load a language definition from another module , that is what it's doing now.
The logic fails if have 2 same defines for 2 modules.

Atleast if you answering the last post i made.

[FYI]
The define i'm talking about is inside the modules.php file:

Code:




         } else {


            $pagetitle = '- ' . _FILENOTFOUND;


            include_once 'header.php';


            OpenTable();


            echo '<div class="text-center"><span class="thick">' , _FILENOTFOUND , '</span><br />'


               , _GOBACK , '</div>';


            CloseTable();


            include_once 'footer.php';


            die ();


         }

Aha and from where should you get the definition from the constant _FILENOTFOUND from the land of no where? Smile

Believe me and try it out and you would see it works!

From the root> languages

But there is no constant like _FILENOTFOUND defined! If you would create the same defined constant in another module so you get a PHP error, that the constant is allready defined in a language file of another module.

No not true, if that is the case, what seems so, then it isn't well coded.
each module uses the function get_lang() , and when this is called, it should only load language for that module.

Do you really read?

Are you agree that if i load module Topics , it should load the languages from that module , and when the define isn't there , it should fall back to the default script language , in this case folder languageS what is in root.

You say you agree it loads a define content from any module , as long as it holding the define.
Are you aware that this could lead to misinformation?

are you trolling or what?

But beside arguing about how the language structure is.
It hasn't anything to do with the main question.

Why a module is forced to use a modules folder either it is in the standard modules folder or is in a
folder: somefolder/modules/
and not is able to load from just: somefolder/

I really like to figure that out.

and what was the solution wHiTeHaT?

i made a mistake in the directory path:

Code:




         $ThemeSel = get_theme();


         if(file_exists('themes/' . $ThemeSel . '/modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php')) {


            $modpath = 'themes/' . $ThemeSel . '/';


         } else {


            $modpath = '';


         }


         if($name == 'Atest'){


         $modpath .= 'modulemaker/' . $file . '.php';


         }else{


         $modpath .= 'modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php';


         }





Works!!
