Auto module detector (V@no something for future installation?)

[LJL_Houben]

Hi all

I made an automatic module importer for the admin. If you want to use add in's (modules) you can put them in a directory Modules. All changes are then made automaticaly to the admin menu. I'm currently working on an annotation module that can be used with this extra function.

How to:
Find next code in the admin/index.php file

Code: [Select]

          if (@is_dir("plugins")) {
            show_nav_header("PlugIns");
            $handle = @opendir("plugins/");
            while ($file = @readdir($handle)) {
              if (eregi("^\.{1,2}$", $file) || !eregi("\.php$", $file)) {
                continue;
              }
              $plugin_file = file("./plugins/".$file);
              $plugin_file[0] = trim($plugin_file[0]);
              if (preg_match("/PLUGIN_TITLE:([a-zäöüß0-9\-_ ]+)/i", $plugin_file[0], $regs)) {
                show_nav_option(trim($regs[1]), "./plugins/".$file);
              }
              else {
                show_nav_option($file, "./plugins/".$file);
              }
            }
            @closedir($handle);
          }

After this code instal next code:

Code: [Select]

//
// NEW!!! Module Handler v1.0
//
// Author: Ing. Dipl.Ing. (FH) L.J.L. Houben
// Http://seilbahn.homaris.nl - Image Gallery
//
//

// Directory Listing
$startdir="../Modules/";
    $ignoredDirectory[] = ".";
    $ignoredDirectory[] = "..";
    if (is_dir($startdir)) {
    if ($dh = opendir($startdir)) {
        while (($directoy = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
                if (!(array_search($directoy,$ignoredDirectory) > -1)) {
          if (filetype($startdir . $directoy) == "dir") {
              show_nav_header("Mod ".$directoy);

// Internal functions listing
            $handle = opendir($startdir.$directoy);
if(!is_file("./".$startdir.$directoy."/install.php"))
{
          while ($file = @readdir($handle))
{
            if (eregi("^\.{1,2}$", $file) || !eregi("\.php$", $file))
{
                  continue;
                }
              $plugin_file = file("./".$startdir.$directoy."/".$file);
              $plugin_file[0] = trim($plugin_file[0]);
              if (preg_match("/MODULE_TITLE:([a-zäöüß0-9\-_ ]+)/i", $plugin_file[0], $regs))
{
                show_nav_option(trim($regs[1]), "./".$startdir.$directoy."/".$file);
              }
              else
{
                show_nav_option($file, "./".$startdir.$directoy."/".$file);
              }
            }
}
else
{
              $plugin_file = file("./".$startdir.$directoy."/install.php");
              $plugin_file[0] = trim($plugin_file[0]);
if (preg_match("/MODULE_TITLE:([a-zäöüß0-9\-_ ]+)/i", $plugin_file[0], $regs))
{
                show_nav_option(trim($regs[1]), "./".$startdir.$directoy."/install.php");
              }
              else
{
                show_nav_option($file, "./".$startdir.$directoy."/install.php");
              }
}
            @closedir($handle);
          // End function listing

            }
}
}
}
    closedir($dh);
}

//
// END Module handler
//

That's all.

Now you can make you own modules. Here is a example of a map


C:\4 Images 1.7.3\
  |-  Admin\
  |-  Cache\
  |-  Captcha\
  |-   ........
  |-  Modules\
  |      |-  Example map\               (This is shown in the admin site as a module name/header)
  |      |      |    Annotate.php       (This is shown as a clickable link to the *.php file)
  |      |      |    Install.php            (If this file is present, all others are ignored, so you can make your own installer)
  |      |      |- OwnMap1
  |      |      |- OwnMap2
  |      |-  Example map2\
  |-  Templates

First module for the module handler

Module: Annotation

This is still in a test phase so sorry if it isn't complete ly working yet.

How to:
If you have installed the module handler in the admin/index.php, just copy the files to a map Modules under the rootdirectory

i think this is a fine thing. just tryed it out.. i see it is not completed yet(like you already wrote).
anyway, good work.

[LJL_Houben]

Well played again with it.

For Image Magic everything is working fine now. It just has to be configured right. So here's beta v1.1

I'm going to test it myself on GD, but I don't have NetPMB, so could anyone test this for me?

Cheers

Isn't it the same thing as the plugins feature that is already build in?

[LJL_Houben]

Hi vano

Not quite the same. (although I copied from it) The module handler looks for submaps in a Modules folder, that is in the map root directory. It copies the directory name to the admin site as a header like "plugins". Than it looks if a install.php is present in the root of the map.
If present it only shows the "install" feature. After installation the install.php file will be removed and the admin site is reloaded to load the actual functions in the module map.

If the users programm own modules, that can operate with this handler, you don't have to change anything in the main code to get it in the adminsite. Also if there is a new version of the gallery, you can just copy your module folders and all extra options are then also in your new gallery.

Cheers
