How do I find the module id?

I just found the faq on how to create a from to search an individual module but it says that I need the module id. How do I go about finding this? Is it based on the order of the modules in the module admin section? Or is there a way to visual see it?

I checked the database but none of my modules are assigned id's. I have a total of 7 modules installed, 2 are deactivated. (I also have 2 modules that im not including because they are bad installs that won't delete from the admin area) but in any case only one active module has a "mid." The rest are blank. Is there a way to fix this? Is it safe to assign them "mid's" from phpadmin? or do I need to do a fresh install of xoops?

How you retrieve the module ID (mid) for a module depends on which PHP script you are trying to find it in. For many instances you can just use:

$mid = $GLOBALS['xoopsModule']->mid();


Or if you're trying to find a specific module's mid when your in a PHP script for blocks you could do something like:

$module_handler =& xoops_gethandler('module');
$config_handler =& xoops_gethandler('config');
$myMod = $module_handler->getByDirName('yourModuleFolderNameHere');
$mid = $myMod->mid();

This below code is the script I'm trying to use. I put it in a block and it displays fine. But I can't get any search results to come up. When I use the advanced search with the same keyword I get search results fine. Which means this script is not pointing to the right module. I have systematically used 3-9 as my module id but none of them work. which can't be right.

Any more suggestions? This is one of my last two issues and I can publish the site.



<form action="<{$xoops_url}>/search.php" method="post" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<input class="srchinput" name="query" size="15" type="text" /> 
<input name="action" type="hidden" value="results" /> 
<input name="mids[]" type="hidden" value="5" /> 
<input align="middle" name="Submit" src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>srchbut.gif" type="image" value="Search" />
form>

Look at your database in the first colum (mid) means Module ID

arent GLOBALS deprecated o.O?

and btw it seems like you have a problem in your modules (the ones with the mids 8 and 9) no name and folder is set
