Author Topic: New Module Settings for 0.2.X (Read 20816 times)

Glarawyn · « **on:** December 29, 2006, 12:35:22 am »

I backported the BeBot 0.3 version of my settings module to BeBot 0.2.X. This module replaces my previous settings module for 0.2.X.

Before using this module, you should drop your current module_settings table. This new module uses the same format as BeBot 0.3 does.

You can read all about this module in the BeBot Wiki Working with the Settings Core module and global settings array.

Hopefully I'll get my modules that were using the previous version of my settings module up to date soon.

In addition to providing functions for saving, retrieving, and managing settings, this new version provides a common settings interface for all settings using the module. You no longer have to code your own custom settings interface for every module!

Download: ModuleSettings_2.0.3.zip

Found a small typo, new version 2.0.1.

I had to add a " ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1" tot he CREATE TABLE statement to make it work for me. Bot complains about the primary key being over 1000 chars wide, otherwise. That is more of a problem with me not using a sane default character set for the database than a real problem with the module.

Still, might help someone with similar trouble.

Found some bugs, and made some changes to 0.3 trunk. So here's a new version of the 0.2 core backport.

New:

Settings are now loaded when the core module loads instead of when the bot connects
Added a display order column to the db table. Module developers can now better control the order settings are displayed in the settings interface.
Any setting named password will have it's value masked in the settings interface. Please note that passwords are still stored in clear text in the database and global settings array.
Any setting whos value is a HTML color code will be displayed in the color that code represents.

New version of Module Settings for BeBot 0.2.X is 2.0.3. Download link updated.

Small note for newbies like me who haven't used previous version. This is a core module and so needs to go into the \core folder not \modules

The zipfile contains path information, so you should be able to extract the zip right to your BeBot directory and have the files end up in the right place. That's why I pack all my releases into zip files anyway.

Just a FYI,

I have this running on Vers 0.3.3 with PHP 5.1 and it is working great!
Looking forward to all modules using Glarawyn's work here!

Ask a question or state the problem you're having and we can help you. This module will do absolutely nothing for you unless other modules that you've downloaded require the settings module to function. Custom modules have to be coded to use the settings framework, without modules that use the settings framework, settings doesn't have anything to do. Does that make sense?
