mosaddphp

rickylau · 14.02.2005, 19:15

I can't seem to find the mambot, mosaddphp, anywhere. There was a thread that says its at http://www.mamboportal.com, but i did a search and cannot find the addon. Can anyone tell me where I can download mosaddphp? I am also having trouble installing mosphp, it will be great if anyone can help me with that too.

Thanks!

It's here, http://www.hibbits.com/content/view/27/2/ with a tutorial.

I'm running it with 4.5.2 - the legacy includer seems to be working! YAY!

Thank you for the reply.

But I am still having problems with the installation. Ok, I downloaded the file, which contains the mosaddphp.php and readme.txt file. Now, if I was running Mambo 4.5.2, where should I put my mosaddphp.php file? Is it in /mambots or /mambots/content, or somewhere else? Is it required that I make an .xml file for the installation?

Any updates on this post? I am also running 4.5.2 and having trouble getting mosaddphp working. I've copied the php file, created the root mosaddphp directory, and a simple 'hello.php' example. When I include {mosaddphp:hello.php} in my content item, I end up with the following on my page:
{mosaddphp:hello.php}
So it looks like it's either not installed correctly or not recognizing the tag (or both!)

Any suggestions or help?

Thanks!

Hi, I don't know how much I can help with this but I'll give it a try. I have been able to get this working under Mambo 4.5.2 for single scripts.

Here's what I did:
1. Manually upload the mosaddphp.php file to the mambots folder (put it directly into the folder, not in the content folder etc.
2. Manually create a folder in your Mambo directory called mosaddphp (this is where you need to put the scripts you want to include). This folder needs to be in your mambo installation root folder.
3. Create a test script (test.php) and upload it to the mosaddphp folder you created in step 2.
4. In the admin area, from the Mambots menu select Site Mambots to view the list of mambots -- verify that the Legacy Mambot Includer is published.
5. Create a static page using mambo's static content admin and give it a title etc. Then in the content area put the following code:

Code:

{mosaddphp:test.php}

Save the page and add a link for the page to your menu.
Now try viewing your site and select the new menu item for the static page you just created: you should see the contents of the test.php script displaying within your mambo site.

I have been able to get this working ok for any script that is directly in the mosaddphp folder; where I haven't yet succeeded, is trying to get it to work for stuff in a sub-folder of the mosaddphp folder (which is supposed to work too). So if you have a simple script that you can put within this folder, this will probably work ok for you.

If you have any problems or want to look at the test install I have, I'd be happy to try and help, just message me.

Hope this helps

Thanks awali - this works great! The key is to enable the Legacy Mambot Includer to allow the 4.5.2 build to execute 4.5 mambots. I hadn't seen this referenced in any other posts, so I hope others will be able to get it running now too based on your instructions in this thread.

Now I'm off and running with my scripts - something that I want to keep separate for the static content.

Thanks again for the help!

Hello guys,

You are posting the installation process for 4.5.1...
here is the forum for 4.5

You are creating confusions.

The mambo 4.5 doesn't have any Mambots menu in the admin area.

Yeah, it's wrong but a super bot !! I going to try this!!

thank you for the procedure that u have given us about mosaddphp mambot. I have done all the installation for the mosaddphp and have uploaded my custom php scripts in the mambo root also. I have written a php script in such a way that, it is a form which which cdynamically links to another form using the form's post method. so, from a single file, the file gets linked to multiple php files.

So, please tell me how do i run this file in the mambo?
when i give{mosaddphp:parentfile.php}, in mambo, it just displays the result of that particular file alone and the links to subsequent links are not working.
how do i do that?
