function_install.php

[idiotnesia]

hi, can you give me example to use functions_install.php. Can I use it to create new category for module?

Also, does anyone here know tools to convert mysql to other databases (firebird, oracle, postgre, etc)

thanks

This will create the module, and auto-create the category, if it doesn't exist:

Code: Select all

install_module('acp', 'acp_goto', $error, 'ACP_CAT_WEBSITE');

acp_goto is the name of the module.

This should not be needed. phpBB provides enough API to use directly, so you don't have to run queries directly.

What I mean is for schema.

wow nice script, thanks evil.....

BTW in your troll mod install file I've seen function to delete directory. Just wonder why you don't put it on your functions_install.php...

functions_install was made for this website. The one from the troll MOD was made specifically for that MOD. It would be nice to have something that can be used for all MODs though.
