My first attempts at writing a module from scratch

I have delayed beginning my own module creation as I am new to Xoops, PHP, AND smarty, but I simply can't find all the modules I need, so I have no choice.

I am now testing with a simple module that will do nothing but allow users to make entries to sort of a blog. The table will have only three fields, username, date, and text.

Things are ok so far, EXCEPT, whenever the front page of the module is loaded, the user gets logged out! Anyone know any common reasons for this? I can post the code(short) if needed.

your module is not setting the session info for the user...so when it loads, it doesn't see the user as being actively logged in....

newbb does it like this for posting....

Quote:

if(empty($_SESSION['submit_token']) || $_POST['post_valid']!=$_SESSION['submit_token']) {
if($topic_id){
$redirect = "viewtopic.php?topic_id=".$topic_id."&start=".$start;
if($post_id) $redirect .="#forumpost".$post_id."";
}else{
$redirect = "viewforum.php?forum=".$forum;
}


Happy Xoopsing!

Shouldn't that be handled automatically, as long as you're including mainfile.php?

require_once '../../mainfile.php';

hehe... you would know more than I would Dave!

I assumed that he has included the mainfile include statement in his index.php as that is one of the first things discussed in the 'how to's' of making your own modules!

mainfile.php includes include/common.php, which has a section for taking care of the session/login stuff.

In my modules, all I've had to do is include mainfile.php, and the current user remains logged in.

Figured it out....

Here were my includes:

require_once "../../mainfile.php";
// include "../../include/common.php";
include "../../header.php";

I got rid of the common.php, now it works...I forgot why I was including it in the first place. Blame it on trial and error...Thanks
