Overriding module level

Site Admin Joined: Aug 22, 2007 Posts: 1772

I'm trying to override the title and the description on the module level with a extended class file - i mean the index area of a module without any id or cat and without storing anything into the database. Is it possible? I have only found to override the ModuleTitlePrefix and setModuleTitle but not the description.

Code:

   function setModuleTitle($name) {


      global $db, $prefix;


      if ($this->dt_bUseCustNm) {


      list($moduletitle) = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query('SELECT `moduletitle` FROM `' . $prefix . '_my_table`'));


         $dt_mod_title = $moduletitle;


      } else {


         $dt_mod_title = str_replace('_', ' ', $name);


      }


      $this->dt_mod_title = $dt_mod_title;


   }

Just to clarify, are you referring to the META description, or something that you wish to display on the index page?

I didn't know there was a description field for modules?

I will override the META description of the module index.

But if i want trying to overrride the module index and the description of the module index, then i can only override the title. You can see here my current class:

Code:

class dhGallery extends dhclass {


   function dhGallery () {


      global $prefix;


      $this->content_id        = 'id';


      $this->content_table     = $prefix . '_rngal,' . $prefix . '_rngal_config';


      $this->contentTitleArray = array('title', 'moduletitle');


      $this->contentDescArray  = array('desc');


      $this->contentKeysArray  = array('title','desc');


      $this->cat_id            = 'id';


      $this->cat_table         = $prefix . '_rngal_cat,' . $prefix . '_rngal_config';


      $this->catTitleArray     = array('title', 'moduletitle');


      $this->catDescArray      = array('desc');


      $this->catKeysArray      = array('title','desc');


      $this->subcat_id         = 'id';


      $this->subcat_table      = $prefix . '_rngal_album,' . $prefix . '_rngal_config';


      $this->subcatTitleArray  = array('title', 'moduletitle');


      $this->subcatDescArray   = array('desc');


      $this->subcatKeysArray   = array('title', 'desc');


      // If pending content is stored in the same table, inactive content, private content, etc.


      $this->activeWhere       = '';


   }


   function getContentID() {


      global $gid;


      return $gid;


   }


   function setContentID() {


      global $gid, $dhID;


      $gid = $dhID;


   }


   function getCatID() {


      global $cat;


      return $cat;


   }


   function setCatID() {


      global $cat, $dhCat;


      $cat = $dhCat;


   }


   function getSubCatID() {


      global $alb;


      return $alb;


   }


   function setSubCatID() {


      global $alb, $dhSubCat;


      $alb = $dhSubCat;


   }


   function setModuleTitle($name) {


      global $db, $prefix;


      if ($this->dt_bUseCustNm) {


      list($moduletitle) = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query('SELECT `moduletitle` FROM `' . $prefix . '_rngal_config`'));


         $dt_mod_title = $moduletitle;


      } else {


         $dt_mod_title = str_replace('_', ' ', $name);


      }


      $this->dt_mod_title = $dt_mod_title;


   }


}

It exists no description for modules on the module index. That is the reason why i want trying to override it with a class file. My data comes from a db-table of the module.
