I wonder how the modinfo.php language files are loaded. If I switch off the main menu block, the modinfo.php from the simplenewsletter module isn't loaded any more; if I switch on the main menu block, it again is. I can repair this problem by adding



to several php-files of simplenewsletter, but I expect there is an easier way. E.g. the other modules don't have this problem after switching off the main menu. Are not all modinfo.php files loaded by function loadInfo in kernel/module.php ??

What is the appropriate way to load modinfo.php in the simplenewsletter module ?

Kind regards !

When the main menu loads the links it also loads the modinfo.php of each module in that menu *1.

Constants used in a block should be defined in \\language\blocks.php. That is loaded when the buildblocks() function is run on each module *2.

Within each module, the main.php language file is loaded automatically by the common.php *3. That is where these constants should be defined instead.

XOOPS 2.5.7.1
*1. the sublinks() function . http://sourceforge.net/p/xoops/svn/HEAD/tree/XoopsCore/releases/2.5.7.1/htdocs/modules/system/blocks/system_blocks.php#l135

defined in: http://sourceforge.net/p/xoops/svn/HEAD/tree/XoopsCore/releases/2.5.7.1/htdocs/kernel/module.php#l182

*2. http://sourceforge.net/p/xoops/svn/HEAD/tree/XoopsCore/releases/2.5.7.1/htdocs/class/xoopsblock.php#l198

the xoops_loadLanguage() function loads the blocks language files automatically.

*3 http://sourceforge.net/p/xoops/svn/HEAD/tree/XoopsCore/releases/2.5.7.1/htdocs/include/common.php#l334
Hope that helps.

I dont know what is the best way. maybe add this to the header file in the module. $xoopsModule->loadInfo('simplenewsletter');
