I need to make my mod actually save the changes i make into settings.php.

At the moment, it takes the number out of settings.php, displays it, I change it, and it doesn't update settings.php, can some1 plz tell me how to do it?

I know I'm ment to save settings into the MySQL table, but, i dont know how to, so I cant...

I did say I dont know how to......

Also, I would need a PHP script which added it for me, so I can distribute it as a mod, some1 plz herlp me, not just tell me what to do...

[Jeff Lewis]

Look at how we're already saving settings to the table, it's quite easy.

Also, if you release a mod that alters Settings.php we can't endorse it at all as it will change things for everyone...

Will Bump till I get an answer (I saw u online last night Jeff)

*Bump*

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm online now too, doesn't mean I'm going to tell you how to do it

Look at the existing code that is there.  in ModSettings.php there are two places where we update the settings table.  One is for simple checkboxes, the other is for other methods for turning settings on and off.

I prefer you learn how it's done as opposed to being told, will make you a better coder as you will actually learn something in the process.

If you start and get a little stumped, I don't mind helping at all

One is for simple checkboxes, the other is for other methods for turning settings on and off.

I dont have a checkbox, or a on off switch, I have a text box field.

Could you just give me a clue to what it is? then I will do the rest my self.

Then that is the second update...

* Cynda growls loudly grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

* Cynda storms off to rip modsettings.php apart

[Jeff Lewis]

It's very easy  You'll need t update the array called $textVars on or around line 366.... you should also set default values much like the other if ($HTTP_POST_VARS statements...

See?  Wasn't that easy?

[Dataforce]

Ty jeff, but I'd just figured it out, lol, Thx anyway

[Jeff Lewis]

Mmm hmm...

Now see why I said it was so easy?
