Modules: X-Center 1.09

Posted by: wishcraftOn 2008/9/30 0:10:00 8097 reads

Resized Image

As phppp has asked me to explore some of the older modules as a core developer, I have re-written the Content module so it falls in line with code standardisation as well as XOOPS Code protocol. It has been completely rewritten as well as a concession of other features added in. Now with the content module this has been renamed to X-Center as it is the center of your website. There is a new XML Power Block which will allow you to write and clone multiple blocks that scan other areas of your database for content in pertenance to the data in the article.

This means that you can have blocks in multiple places that are constantly changing based on various content types in the system, this off course with Search Engines the more you site expands and is used, mean you have a higher SEO rank cause your pages are reflecting a higher change in the system page impressions.

The X-Center is and will remain quiet popular as I have had many enquires about the content module so I have revamped it and released it to you.

If you would like more information on the XML Document standard for this module please refer to the wiki

Hi

I get this error when trying to install the module:
Column length too big for column 'summary' (max = 255); use BLOB instead

Site data:
# XOOPS Version: XOOPS 2.3.0
# PHP Version: 4.3.2
# MySQL Version: 4.1.10-standard

Any ideas?

Regards
Nikolaj

Sure replace the mysql.sql file in /xcenter/sql with this one.. It is that you are not using Mysql 5.x as it is more extensible and has proper varchar fields.

 # 
# Table structure for table `xcenter` 
# 
#Create Table 
CREATE TABLE xcenter ( 
  center_id int(16) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
  parent_id int(16) NOT NULL default '0', 
  weight int(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', 
  title varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', 
  summary mediumtext NOT NULL default '', 
  keywords mediumtext NOT NULL default '', 
  `text` text default NULL, 
  visible tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', 
  homepage tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', 
  nohtml tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', 
  nosmiley tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', 
  nobreaks tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', 
  nocomments tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', 
  anonymous tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1', 
  link tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', 
  address varchar(255) default NULL, 
  submenu tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', 
  PRIMARY KEY  (center_id, weight, title(20)) 
) TYPE=MyISAM; 
 
# 
# Table structure for table `xcenter_mblocks` 
# 
#Create Table 
CREATE TABLE xcenter_mblocks ( 
  id int(16) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
  center_id int(16) NOT NULL default '0', 
  mod_id int(8) NOT NULL default '0', 
  bid int(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', 
  summary mediumtext NOT NULL default '', 
  xml text default NULL, 
  PRIMARY KEY  (id), 
  KEY sid (center_id, mod_id) 
) TYPE=MyISAM;

You will see in the one you have now there is this sort of fields : summary varchar(560) NOT NULL default '', - this is not supported in MySQL 4.x

Thanks

Hi yeah content needed updating for 2.3, it was also unstandardised code, which means it wasn't using the XOOPS code standards..

Now it is, also the addition block is an XML programmable block, so you can clone it in 2.3 blocks management. as this is the case the block can be related to an article and other modules in relation to the XML document that populates it for example for various keywords and record identifiers. I will expand it later to include a keywords selection XML document, so you can have a great parse.

The purpose of that block is so if you used content to center your flow of information on your website, you can place blocks around the system that have the ability to 'scan' other area's of the database ie. Forum in relation to the document. and as topics containing the keywords come up the block revolves (this also means that on a busy site your block change each time a search engine passes, improves your SEO Advantage in the % of page difference).

Also some of the fields in content where incorrectly named for example there was a block_id which should have been weight.

This XML Powered block is a functional block, it is more programmable.

ahh script_fu I am not your fu at the moment with a comment like that ;-v gr8t (ps.. Your h0t)..

Anyway, yes the block can be very easily clonable -> it should from memory be just changing the xxx_DIR_NAME enumerator in the langauge file to the new directory (this is if you don't want to change database PREFIX).. for example change:

 define("xxx_DIR_NAME","xcenter") 
 
to 
 
define("xxx_DIR_NAME","sciptfuthahottie") 
 
and rename /modules/xcenter/ to /modules/sciptfuthahottie/

I tried this mod and looks great.

- I could not get editor of choice to be set as default.

- I could not get an item to be added to the main menu (if I did not misunderstood you should be able to added article titles to the main menu, I I know mastop publish module does this but the mod is not fully supported-maintained)
- I have other ideas just need to put them together.

- I use php 5

I have a problem with xcenter module. Everything works OK till I turn off "seeing of the x-ceter module" in the site menu block to see only prepared concent sites. No prepared sites are seen then in block and some errors appear. Does anyone know how to make it works properly?

I can't get the WYSIWYG editors to work too.

Thanks :)

try you do, make the module in menu invisible, must you change the modules weight to 0.. to be one with the modules concentrative force of menu position.

Actually give that a go, otherwise it is back to the core department...

The modules weight is 0 but still such an error appears:

 SELECT child.link, child.center_id, child.weight, child.title, child.visible, child.parent_id, child.address,CASE parent.parent_id WHEN 0 THEN parent.weight ELSE child.weight END 'menu_block', CASE child.parent_id WHEN 0 THEN child.center_id ELSE child.parent_id END 'menu_id' FROM xoops__CXM_XCENTER_PREFIX child LEFT JOIN xoops__CXM_XCENTER_PREFIX parent ON child.parent_id = parent.center_id WHERE child.visible='1' ORDER BY menu_block, menu_id, parent_id, weight Error number: 1146 Error message: Table 'my_database_name.xoops__CXM_XCENTER_PREFIX' doesn't exist 
 
SELECT mid FROM xoops_modules WHERE dirname=_CXM_DIR_NAME 
Error number: 1054 
Error message: Unknown column '_CXM_DIR_NAME' in 'where clause'

Thanks a lot for all your help! :)

lol script fu, I haven't really ever smoked weed, and my msn is someone elses impression
saying that, that why I register it.. talk to kris he smokes it... Even when I get
arrest they are like you identify with track marks, and there are none on my body...
at all, I have never even seen really anything about drugs. But I did complain to Alexander
Shulgin about having to type about all those soft drink commercials in TiHkal and PiHKal and
Asked him to write me a book that you at least need a particle ram to make called -> Simple
Planet Isoquinolines (I am the benifactor)

btw.. That wysiwyg error is a Core Development bug...

-> forum post

Hi all how are you, this is a core issue not an issue with the application,
the formselecteditor.php does not have a argument for the extra but also has a fault.
the remmed out lines are in error

To Fix this in the core here is how you do it, see it is using an none standardised
form of Java which ensures you can have no use in the western world or anywhere else..

From line 51 of XOOPS_ROOT_PATH/class/xoopsform/formselecteditor.php you will have to
alter it like so..

 function render() 
    { 
        xoops_load('XoopsEditorHandler'); 
        $editor_handler = XoopsEditorHandler::getInstance(); 
        $editor_handler->allowed_editors = $this->allowed_editors; 
        $option_select = new XoopsFormSelect("", $this->name, $this->value); 
 
##[ Incorrect Javascript ]################################################# 
//        $extra = 'onchange="if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value.length > 0 ){ 
//            window.document.forms.'.$this->form->getName().'.submit(); 
//            }"'; 
########################################################################### 
 
// Here is the universal version of this it will work on any system as the location.href is the best method for backward compatibility.. 
 
        $extra = 'onchange='location.href="'.XOOPS_URL.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?"; 
        foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) 
            if ($key!=$this->name) 
                $extra .= $key."=".$value."&"; 
        $extra .= $this->name."="+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value'"; 
 
/// End of admendment. 
             
        $option_select->setExtra($extra); 
        $option_select->addOptionArray($editor_handler->getList($this->nohtml)); 
         
        $this->addElement($option_select); 
         
        return parent::render(); 
    }
