Need help with creating a SMALL component

[Heart]

Hi,

I made a module which shows me the status of some servers. The code is:

<?php
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );

$eBanking = "1"; // auf 1 oder 2 stellen, wenn Störung vorliegt!
$PinTan = "0"; // auf 1 oder 2 stellen, wenn Störung vorliegt!
$InterCept = "0"; // auf 1 oder 2 stellen, wenn Störung vorliegt!
$HBCI = "1"; // auf 1 oder 2 stellen, wenn Störung vorliegt!
$FTAM = "0"; // auf 1 oder 2 stellen, wenn Störung vorliegt!

echo "<table width=\"95%\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\"><tr><td><table width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"><tr align=\"center\"><td width=\"16\" class=\"newsheading\" align=\"center\"><img src=\"faq/info.png\" border=\"0\"></td><td width=\"100%\" class=\"statusheader\" align=\"center\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Verfügbarkeit</strong></td></tr></table><table width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\">";
if ($eBanking == 1) {
echo "<tr><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_eBanking.php', 'eBanking', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statuslinks-rot\" width=\"6%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><img src=\"status_rot.gif\" width=\"9\" height=\"9\" border=\"0\" align=\"middle\" vspace=\"3\"></td><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_eBanking.php', 'eBanking', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statusmitte-rot\" width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"inhalt/upload/status_eBanking.php\" target=\"_blank\">eBanking</a></td><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_eBanking.php', 'eBanking', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statusrechts-rot\" width=\"44%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">[<a href=\"status_eBanking.php\" target=\"_blank\"><font color=\"red\"> offline</font></a> ]</td></tr>";
} elseif ($eBanking == 2) {
echo "<tr><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_eBanking.php', 'eBanking', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statuslinks-gelb\" width=\"6%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><img src=\"status_gelb.gif\" width=\"9\" height=\"9\" border=\"0\" align=\"middle\" vspace=\"3\"></td><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_eBanking.php', 'eBanking', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statusmitte-gelb\" width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"inhalt/upload/status_eBanking.php\" target=\"_blank\">eBanking</a></td><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_eBanking.php', 'eBanking', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statusrechts-gelb\" width=\"44%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">[<a href=\"status_eBanking.php\" target=\"_blank\"><font color=\"#bcb72a\"> teilweise</font></a> ]</td></tr>";
} else {
echo "<tr><td class=\"statuslinks\" width=\"6%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><img src=\"status_gruen.gif\" width=\"9\" height=\"9\" border=\"0\" align=\"middle\" vspace=\"3\"></td><td class=\"statusmitte\" width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">eBanking</td><td class=\"statusrechts\" width=\"44%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">[ <font color=\"#008000\">online</font> ]</td></tr>";

} elseif ($PinTan == 2) {
echo "<tr><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_PinTan.php', 'PinTan', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statuslinks-gelb\" width=\"6%\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><img src=\"status_gelb.gif\" width=\"9\" height=\"9\" border=\"0\" align=\"middle\" vspace=\"3\"></td><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_PinTan.php', 'PinTan', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statusmitte-gelb\" width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"inhalt/upload/status_PinTan.php\" target=\"_blank\">PIN/TAN</a></td><td onclick=\"window.open('inhalt/upload/status_PinTan.php', 'PinTan', 'width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no')\"; class=\"statusrechts-gelb\" width=\"44%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">[ <a href=\"status_PinTan.php\" target=\"_blank\"><font color=\"#bcb72a\">teilweise</font></a> ]</td></tr>";

}
if ($InterCept == 1) {........and so on

So the component i need in the mambo backend must only change the red variables (0,1 or 2) in the module-file (at the top). I think it could be done with checkboxes or input fields where I type in 0, 1 or 2 and the module-file will change.

How can I do that :question:

THANKS a lot for your help!

[keliix06]

You can accomplish this with a config file. A component to change just that is a bit much. If you really want one, download AkoGallery and strip it down to just the config task. I'd put it together for you, but I'm particularly busy right now.

[Heart]

Oh oh.... tried but not successful yet

Could anyone please have a look at my component-try?

Tried to edit/cut the not necessary lines out from akogallery so that I only have the edit settings menu link with only the Backend - configtable in there.
Install of the component is fine but when I go to "Status">"Status editieren" nothing happens

zip-file with the code (http://www.sg-apfeltrach.de/status.zip)

THANKS

Have you considered using module parameters?

[Heart]

How should I have considered that exactly?

[SvenErik]

Take a look at the mambo.sql file, locate the CREATE TABLE `mos_modules' part. Get the component to set the values in the params field for your module which has its name in the module field. Something like this, I would think [any REAL PHP programmers correct me if I am wrong here ;) ]:


// The new values you want to give the module
$NewValues="eBanking=1\r\nPinTan=0\r\nInterCept=0\r\nHBCI=1\r\ nFTAM=0";

// The name of your module
$MyModuleName="mod_statuswindow";

// Set the query
$this->_db->setQuery( "UPDATE #__modules.params SET params='$NewValues' WHERE module='$MyModuleName'");



Strange.. The board keeps adding spaces into the code... :confused: I included the code in a text file

[SvenErik]

To continue on my suggestion in previous post:

Then you get the module to retrieve its parameters:

// Load module parameters
$query = "SELECT * FROM #__modules WHERE module = 'mod_statuswindow'";
$database->setQuery($query);
$rows = $database->loadObjectList();
$params = mosParseParams($rows[0]->params);

$eBanking = $params->eBanking;
$PinTan = $params->PinTan;
$InterCept = $params->InterCept;
$HBCI = $params->HBCI;
$FTAM = $params->FTAM;

Then the module do whatever it needs to do with the parameters it retrieved.

[SvenErik]

Heart, how does it go with your component?

[Heart]

Thank you VERY MUCH Sven, I will take a look at it nearly....
"Must" spend some time with my affinity and eat cook and so, you know... Easter :)

[stingrey]

If you want an example of how a module can accept parameters, you could download my Display News modules (any of the three) and have a look inside.
It accepts 57 parameters

In the code i have some code to check the variables entered to ensure that only relevant parameters are entered. if it isnt valid, then it defaults to the default value.

OK, I finished my FIRST component successfully :)

I don't use/need mysql-tables for this little thing so I took a deeper look at Arthurs "AkoLegal" component....

Edit this for my needs and now it works ;)
I edit the config file in the component and in my module i require this config file....

Thanks again for your help!!!
