Modules: Content Relations MGR

Posted by: tomsysOn 2003/5/3 14:11:12 5587 reads

Hello folks,

..after looking around and ending up with nothing in my hand - for existing site content relations builder I managed to develop my own and also kindly offering for you to take a look at it.

This is a very simple but powerful enough module to help web site admins to better organize existing portal content and also represent visitors with an extra information block {Related...} what keeps a short link list to your site other pages - such as [News, Downloads, FAQ, etc].

User block can be easily binded up to any installed Module what has it's own page (except system module) and separately to the News [Single - Article or Topic page] or also to the Downloads [Single - Category page].

I hope you will enjoy it although this release should be considered as pre-release, for sure bug releases will follow after you will test it and require me to fix it.

Kind regards,
tomsys

p.s.
current version of this module you can grab here

WOW

This is one mother of a mod! Extremely easy to use and just as extremely useful. I bet there's a lot of sites out ther who need this even if they don't know it yet.

Wow sounds cool, I'll give it a try soon, but I'd like a demo. Keep up the good work.

I tried out this module and it is really useful and powerful.

I had to uninstall it though because of a problem. I don't know if it is related to the module or something I am doing wrong.

What happens is that when I give the module admin rights to only the administrator and I put the blocks on every page, nobody except me (administrator) can access any page.

I logged out and logged back in as a regular user and it locked me out of my site, even the login page was inaccessible.

I somehow managed to log back in using the IE6 recent URL cache and disabled the module.

Can you tell me if I am doing something wrong?

I also had problems with this. Using the module caused Smarty errors to fill the screen.

I am feeling very dumb...

I tried copying the module into the modules directory and I get all sorts of errors.

Is this not a module? Is it a hack that requires 'installation' in numerous higher lever dirs?

Any help for those of us who are slow learners?

Thanks!

Hi RabiDeAu,

..what are the errors that you are getting?

..can you tell me more exactly what are you trying to do - step by step.

To install the module you have to unzip it in a single folder "relations" and then FTP this folder to your "modules" directory on the server, then it will be listed in a list of all available modules for installation, nothing more special is needed.

Regards,
tomsys

Hi tomsys,

I figured out an easy-to-solve problem. When you are expanding the zip-file on MacOS 9, the file-names will be shortened to 31 characters.

Perhaps that is one reason for the malfunction of the script.

to get rid of the smarty messages in your XOOPS pages modify the template "relations_user_block":

Remove the following lines:


<!--

<{php}>

    echo $REQUEST_URI;

<{/php}>

<br>

<{$smarty.now|date_format:"%m-%d-%Y"}>

<br>

<{$smarty.request.username}>

<br>

<{$smarty.template}>

<br>

<{debug}>

<br>

<{$news.title}>

<br>

<{$xoops_requesturi}>

-->

*Edit - also wanted to say, thanks for the great module idea. I will definately get use out of this.

this module is VERY usefull. it came in really handy at my image gallery page. my server doesn't support ImageMagick and the likes so members have to make a thumbnail and resize the full image to 700x700 and upload it to the gallery.

i made a Gallery FAQ/How-To and added limitations of my server, then added a Gallery FAQ link to the Gallery Page.

i think this would be usefull linking the hardware driver news to the exact driver download page. the only problem i can see in the future is the Relations Builder Block list getting really long after some time, but not really a problem for most people..

thanks for the great module!

Where can it be seen?
