Installing Module Problems

AdR3NaLiN · **Installing Module Problems -** 03-13-2005, 07:40 AM

I don't know why, but for some reason when I try and install a new module, and copy the folder into my modules folder, it doesnt show up on the modules list. Is there something else I have to do for it to show up?

Also,

How do I get the forums on my site, to show up without all the blocks on the side, like this one? I've been trying to figure this out for a while, would be a HUGE help.

Welcome to nukemods.com :wink:

Could you tell us what Version of nuke you are using ?

& by any chance do you remember what the last module you installed successfully was ? did it require any database inserts ?

Im using 7.5

I've never sucessfully installed a module before, but ive installed blocks that have required database inserts.

One was the login mod that almost everyone has, and the other was Sommaire Parametrable V.2.0 menu mod.

Ok

open Root/ admin/modules/modules.php

Find :

Code:

'$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '1', '0', '')");

BTW : does yours look the same ?

Replace with :

Code:

'$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '1', '0', '0', '0', '')");

Try that and let us know how you get on & as always make a copy of that file before you edit :wink:

I did it, they still arent showing up

ALSO!!!

There has to be a quicker way to give people permissions for the forums than by going to every single one and chaning them individually. Please tell me there is a quicker way!

Ok lets try it again, this time we will add an extra few fields to the code:

Find As above :

& replace with

Code:

'$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '', '1', '0', '1', '0', '')");

The problem is that in admin/modules/modules.php, on the line that inserts the modules in the folder modules, the number of fields is incorrect. What were trying to do here is correct the number of fields being used. ie: your recent addons have altered the tables a bit.

There are some third party modules which alter the nuke_modules table. So hopefully this will correct things for you.

Nope

Hmm :? cant think of anything eles that might be wrong

If you want to PM or MSN me, I could take a look at your files directly, that of course is upto yourself.

Sometimes they dont appear in the list straight away, (kind of odd and not very technical, i know)

For example if you had a module called "hello" for example.

Install it, including database tables etc..

then if it doesnt appear in the list just visit the address

http://www.yoursite.com/modules.php?name=hello

it will probably be there, then it will be in the list.

I have found this worked in the past, dont ask me why it just has

Well this half worked...

I can visit the module, but it still doesn't show up in my list. :cry:
