I'd like to add a second topic module. I know I'll need to change the name, but I need to know everywhere to change the name. I also know I'll need to add tables to the database for the second module, but I don't know what to add.

I can use phpmyadmin, but I don't really know a lot about databases, or php for that matter. Just enough to make simple hacks and mods.

Any help or info? Or is there another module that is similar to the topics module that I can just drop in place the normal way? Or is there a way of adding subcategories to the topics module?

If you visit MY SITE and go to the topics section you will see two categories: PHILOSOPHY and HUMOUR. What I need is either a category for STORIES with a subcategory for HIAWATHA (and several other books) and then pages for each chapter. If not, then a seperate STORIES module with category for HIAWATHA and page for each chapter.

I realize I can use something like the tag, but I'm not sure how well that will work. I'll have to try.

I have one book with over 50 chapters (The Kalevala) and Hiawatha has twenty something. Others have between 4 and thirty...

Thanks for the help.

I have created a Topics 2 module for you

you can download it Here

Iam out for the rest of the day, so if you have any problems with this just keep the module deactivated from your admin panel, pending my return etc..

There are no Topics added to this module so you need to add your own stuff.

You'll also need to add an Admin Image to your root directory, but thats not necessary, the module works totally independent to the orignal as it is.

Thats bassically it, so download & upload to your site, activate it & run the nuke.sql text file attached ( thats In the module itself )

This is just the backbone of the module, if you want edit it or improve on it as Module anyone could install, be my guest, this is just something for you etc.. ie: not a public release lol I dont make modules etc..

I'm getting an error

ARGH!!!!!

I'm very sorry. What I need is a second CONTENT module...

Well, I went and did the ALTER Tables by hand and then copied out the topics sections from the original 7.6 zip file sql file and changed the names. Everything went ok with no errors, but then my admin section was locked out. So I had to restore the database from backup.

As I said, I'm not all that great with databases.

Thanks

Sorry I missed you Lokrin, I hope that did'nt cause to much trouble, but you should have left well enough alone lol, anyway I too had a similar problem with the first few lines of that sql, however I just loaded the rest like you did, so I dont know what went wrong

ops: for you.

Heres what you should have got http://www.skydigitalcards.net/modules.php?name=Topics2

And heres the orignal on the same site http://www.skydigitalcards.net/modules.php?name=Topics

BTW that site is only for testing, anyway I see that it wasnt a Topics module you needed anyway

but not to worry, did you get what you wanted in the end ?

Lokrin · #7 (**permalink**) 03-10-2005, 02:09 AM

Not really, but I'm working around it here.

I'd rather have a single STORIES category with subcategories, or a seperate content module labelled STORIES, but I can work it this way.

BTW - I changed default sort order to title, so I have to put numbers in front of the chapter names, but that's no problem.

I'm just starting to port things over. Each page needs to be double checked for things like image links, etc, so It will take me a while.

If you want to move the topic (since most people here probably don't want the conversation until results are met, we can move it to my forums.

Found the following site with a secondary content module:

http://www.retronintendo.com/

Problem is that when I add the module it breaks my Modules Admin block with an ACCESS DENIED. Any idea how to fix this? Deleting the module brings things back to normal.

Also, the ftp upload wants to over write the files LANGUAGES and ADMIN/LANGUAGES.

Is that ok? I don't Know....

I do that and it won't show up in the MODULES menu.

File directory is:

Quote:

admin/
admin/language/
admin/language/lang-english.php
blocks/
blocks/block-Content1.php
content1.sql
language/
language/lang-english.php
modules/
modules/Content1/
modules/Content1/admin/

modules/Content1/index.php
modules/Content1/language/
modules/Content1/language/.htaccess
modules/Content1/language.index.php
modules/Content1/language/lang-english.php
readme.txt

I just uploaded that to the root directory. Otherwise I will have things like

/modules/Content1/modules/content1/index.php
/modules/Content1/blocks/block-Content1.php

And those don't look right, but I'm still new at this...
