Happy birthday, Mamba. And thank you for your involvement in Xoops.

Hi Mamba
How are you ?
It is done

Backpack is now available as 2.01RC version
For test

This module allows you to back up or restore your database. you can see these main features below :

These are the main features:
- Backup of your Xoops database
- Backup of specific tables
- Saving the tables of a module
- Optimization of your database

DOwload ZIP version

Thank you

I agree with this decision.
The modules that I make are all optimized for PHP 5.5.x

Hi,
The use of a dynamic system (class, variable, function) above allows me to quickly create a module in the shortest lines.
In terms of resources, the module is not very greedy (except some parts which demand to be optimized). The biggest module I wrote for a client, contains 42 MySQL tables, it is a module of ERP for automotive dealerships. And in addition I can easily clone the module. The only real job is to change the language files, the file instaalation MySQL and add the files to add the necessary options.
I'll try to explain how the basic module:
in the file for the web page called:
"$entree" table contains all the fields for the page.
"$class" table contains all the class to load
 
In the "class" matching file:
$table_item, MySQL columns


The idea is:
- To create a fully clonable module (without further manipulation as copy / paste / rename the module directory)
- Creation of "class" generic for basic functions (read / write BDD form, security ...)
- Quick Add feature (by copy / paste) so each function, class must be completely modular.
- Cache system for dynamic class already generated.
- Quickly Adding fields in a file.
- The page loads only what it needs for its operation.

I am to create simple modules, secure, requires very little hardware resources, fast, functional and easy to modify (even for a novice)

If I understand, you want to use smarty to generate (or simulate) a module.
I haven't explored this track, I don't know if it's a good idea.
We don't have the same approach, I try to keep a (speed RAM, PIC, size,) hardware and ergonomic approach to the user. To estimate a module, I look at the lines of code (graphics rendering happens at the end)
It's good to have multiple approaches.

hi,
Too bad the name of "class" are written in hard. It should take all the files and rename hand.
I have used variables, classes and functions dynamic
Look at my old modules which I use as starting skeleton.

Nothing to rename, just a copy / paste (except for MySQL file) for an operational base module and not conflict with other modules.

This module is not perfect and is not yet the standard of practice but XOOPS 2.6 to start and especially for cloning.

Viewing:
./include/install_function.php
./class/class_class.php

Reporting a bug :
A conflict between the module 'simplenewsletter' and module 'tag'.

the bug happens by activating a block and when I return to my home page
I have this message :
Quote:

module "backpack" 1.02 has been updated and is available here.

This module allows you to backup or restore your database.
The original author is: Yoshi Sakai.

Minimum required :
PHP 5.2 or 5.3
MySQL 5.1 min.
Xoops 2.5.x
ModuleAdmin 1.1

Here are the main features:
- Backup your database Xoops
- Backup specific tables
- Backup module tables
- Optimize your database

Thank you for the return bug stating your version of PHP and MySQL

I simply followed the changes TCPDF project.
If, I can make changes to the script to accommodate PHP 5.2 (I know where the command line specific to 5.3)
but in the future, we could make a more "copy / paste", see her

In the next version (1.07), the system autoload to (composer) will be fully active. I still have some adjustments to do
