Hi helpers! :)

I installed XOOPS CMS: all perfect.
I installed module ZenTrack (helpdesk). Module installation: perfect.
Want to start zentrack module itself:

Eroor message:
ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver "

I googled along and find out that it has to be a general problem. Many users had it with postnuke, oracle php etc.

Because XOOPS itself is working fine I can say: php configurations as also apache2 config has been done super.

I cannot find any solution on this issue and maybe anyone of you knows the golden anwer already?

Thankful for EVERY serious support!
:]

The ADONewConnection is a general message and given for any type of db driver. Of course with XOOPS MySQL is used.

Three files starting with adodb-mysql should be existant in /modules/zentrack/includes/adodb/drivers and check also that dirname(__FILE__) returns a correct value.
Check with phpmyadmin, that all tables and records from the sql file exists.

Hello Ghia,

How to clean some module to work with MySQL without ADODB abstraction layer ?

Example:

// this is the setup for the ADODB library
include($config['basepath'].'/include/adodb/adodb.inc.php');
$conn = &ADONewConnection($db_type);
$conn->PConnect($db_server, $db_user, $db_password, $db_database);

global $conn;
$ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC;
$sql = "SELECT ID from ".$config['table_prefix']."_members ORDER BY rank";
$recordSet = $conn->Execute($sql);

XOOPS has also it own abstraction layer for MySQL.
I am not sure if in the light of a possible further updating of the module, limiting it to the use of MySQL is a good thing.

Sure, but what I'm looking for is how to clean the module ( above code as example ) from ADOD library.

The aim is this library must be include in Frameworks not inside each module that need it.
