Hello,

I want to achieve the following:

I made a module for mambo 451a and want to convert it to mambo 450.

In mambo 451a it is easy to use parameters because you can define them in your XML file.

In mambo 450 its different.

I managed to make the module for 450 but by default the parameter are "blanc" in your module screen where you want to edit the parameters. Therefore the variables in my module are also blanc so it won't display correctly until Ii manually fill in alle the parameters.

Is there a way to handle this automaticly and also to show them directly after installing the module in the parameter section?

Thanks in advance,

Rank

There is a field in the modules mysql table(mos_modules) called params, with the installer you should be able to do a query with your module config.

Hello,

I tried the following but it didn't work:

<install>
<queries>
<query>
INSERT INTO `mos_modules` VALUES (NULL, 'MX', '', 2, 'left', 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 1, 'mod_mx', 0, 1, 1, 'test1=1\n' 'test2=2', 1);
</query>
</queries>
</install>

If I do it manually in phpMyadmin it works.

I want to automaticly fill the parameters during the installation of the module.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me on this.

Regards,

It's solved with the following code right after de valid mos or die code:

$color = @params->color ? $params-color : 'black';

etc. for the rest of the parameters.

What it does is when no parameters are send, the value is "black" .

In case the parameters are set, the value changes to the ones send by the module.

Sometimes it's so simple....
