18.1. Modifying any PHP-Nuke module
Talking about modifying any PHP-Nuke module in general, we will show:
How to hide the right blocks (Section 18.1.1),
How to change a buggy module (Section 18.1.2).
18.1.1. How to hide the right blocks
If your module needs more space than is available in the central column of the PHP-Nuke layout, you may want to hide the right column of blocks. This is accomplished very easily from within the code of any module: find the line
$index = 1; |
and change it to:
$index = 0; // 0 : do not show right blocks - 1:show right blocks |
Of course, if the line is not there, then $index is already 0, so your module already hides the right blocks.

|---|---|
If you want to hide the left blocks, you have to modify the theme header. See Section 14.3.9. |
18.1.2. How to change a buggy module
You activated a buggy PHP-Nuke module. Now, your site is broken and you get a blank page, or you only see errors and the administration panel is unreachable...
Connect to the MySQL database and change the value of the "active" field in the $prefix_modules table to 0 for that module's entry. Example (see Site crashed when block was created and logout-Fehler): suppose the broken module is Mod_Broken, your $prefix is "nuke" and the value of the module id, "mid", field for the Mod_Broken module is "7"):
UPDATE nuke_modules SET active = '0' WHERE mid = '7'; |
or (if you prefer to select by title and not by module id)
UPDATE nuke_modules SET active = '0' WHERE title = 'Mod_Broken'; |
