how does xoops upload data to the database

Hi there, I'm trying to get a better idea of how XOOPS works and I want to understand which files upload data to the database tables.

So for example, in newbb when a new topic is added (using newbb/newtopic.php) how does the content of the question get added to the newbb database tables? Which file does this?

thanks a lot for any tips

In the case of newbb the newtopic calls the form.post.php if permission and post to the mysql.

Module object handlers. You can find them under the module class folder. But really, you need to know how MySQL and php works, not XOOPS. You need to learn the language so you can understand what you read. You need to know, at every point, what is made by XOOPS and what is not.

Sure. you'll find the form.post.php in

newbb\include\

But Trabis is more accurate in his answer. Look in the newbb/class/ folder for.instance at post.php to see how the module handles posting

Thanks a lot!

I've been trying to get something done but just can't, I wonder if you guys can help me?

I'm using newbb seo unfortunately as I'm also using xlanguage the rewritten urls and meta description don't work because they display the language tags [en][/en].

To fix this I had to add 2 extra fields to the xoops_bb_topics table, I called these topic_url and description. But of course I have to edit them by hand which is not really realistic to keep doing.

Because when users first post they write in only one language it would work perfectly if I could add the subject and message to the topic_url fields and description fields.

So can anyone tell me, how I can add existing data (which is already added to existing fields) to 2 new fields I have created?

I've tried for ages to get this to work but I just can't so i would be so grateful if you could give me some advice.

thanks!

For catching up you could run an SQL command in phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE xoops_bb_topics SET topic_url = subject, description = message;

For daily use you need to add variables for the new fields in topic.php and fill them alike where the regular fields subject and message are filled (setvar in post.php).
For the xLanguage tag problem see this.
