Thread: [Phpcollegeex-devel] what to change

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi everyone;

can someone tell me what files i need to change to add new tabs to the top
menu.

Cheers

Gary

I built the tabs in the nav bar out of lists and css.  All you have to 
do is add a new item to the list and it becomes a tab (or a sub-menu 
item, if you add it to the second list)
To add new tabs (and a whole new section) you edit the first list in the 
i_nav.php file in each folder.  For example:

<ul id="navtab">
    <li class="navtabon">Home</li>
    <li class="navtaboff"><a href="<? echo $home ?>books/">Textbook 
Exchange</a></li>
    <li class="navtaboff"><a href="<? echo $home ?>house/">Housing 
Finder</a></li>
</ul>

Will become:

<ul id="navtab">
    <li class="navtabon">Home</li>
    <li class="navtaboff"><a href="<? echo $home ?>books/">Textbook 
Exchange</a></li>
    <li class="navtaboff"><a href="<? echo $home ?>house/">Housing 
Finder</a></li>
    <li class="navtaboff"><a href="<? echo $home ?>new/">New 
Section</a></li>
</ul>

Each folder has it's own i_nav.php file so you must add the new list 
item in each one.
Then you create a folder for the new section.  In the i_nav.php file for 
this new folder you will want to change the "navtaboff" for the new 
sections listing to "navtabon".  You also use the second list in the 
i_nav.php file to link to the sub-pages.  For example, look at the 
second list in the books/ sections i_nav.php.

<ul id="navlist">
    <li><a href="search.php" title="Search for books">Find Books</a></li>
    <li><a href="index.php?page=newlisting" title="Post books for 
sale">Post Books</a></li>
    <li><a href="index.php?page=mybooks" title="Remove or update your 
listings">My Books</a></li>
</ul>

I hope it isn't too confusing.  I did this so that new sections can 
easily be added and adjusted.

The CSS is still a little muddled with old stuff that I haven't had a 
chance to update (and remove) and new stuff, so don't feel bad if it 
takes a while to understand.  Feel free to edit the code in anyway you 
feel, including taking out or adding anything you want.

hi

i keep getting this error message

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in
/home/redmond/public_html/ucd/php pages/house/searchend.php on line 120

i have tried replacing everything in the house folder with the default
versions but it dosent change

I haven't run into this before.  I am running the script on PHP version 
4.3.9, but older versions shouldn't cause too much of a problem.

the 1.5b code should be the same that is on the testing server at:
*http://www.wku.edu/~david.degner/WBX/*

If I enter a search query in I don't get an error.
*http://www.wku.edu/~david.degner/WBX/house/searchend.php?distance=1&type%5B%5D=1&type%5B%5D=2&type%5B%5D=3&type%5B%5D=4&type%5B%5D=5&type%5B%5D=6&PriceLessThan=20000&PriceGreaterThan=0&bedrooms=1*

It is most likely an else construct has a bad unclosed braces or an if 
has superfluous closing braces.  I included the file from the testing 
server in case it is any different than in the released version.  This 
is a noggin scratcher.

Sry to keep asking questions the script is set up now so i just have some
final customisation questions, i have edited out nearly all the dollar signs
but i can't find the following ones,

After a textbook search is done the list that displays the results still has
$ for price,
and the my books display when logged in.
And in the same places in the housing section.

Final q where do i go to change the wording of less than 1 block etc. on the
first search page for housing i have changed it everywhere else just can't
change that.

Reagrds;

 Gary

Gary,

Questions are a good thing feel free to ask as many as you need, I 
probably won't always be able to answer them as quickly as I have been 
able to today.

This is on line 110 of "books/functions.php" :
<TD class=$class style='text-align:right;padding-right:15px;'>\$$price</TD>

>and the my books display when logged in.
>

The housing section is a little different for the search results page it 
is on line 112 of the house/searchend.php file
    <TD class=$class 
style='text-align:right;padding-right:15px;'>\$$price</TD>

the other is on the 16th line of house/myrents.php
        <TD class=\"column\">Price ($)</TD>

>Final q where do i go to change the wording of less than 1 block etc. on the

It is in the house/searchbody.php file.
If you can't find something on a page where you think it should be, look 
for "include" calls, it is probably hidden in one of the included files.

David Degner

I have it changed it the searchbody.php file but it still appears with 1
block etc.

Gary,
When you want to find all instances of the 1 block, 2 blocks etc. it is 
very helpful to have a good web page editor like Homesite, AceHTML or 
something that has a "search all files in this directory" (extended 
search).  A quick flip through all the files shows "1 block" is in:
house\home.php line 96
house\listing_add_1.php line 34
house\listing_edit_1.php line 62
house\listing_view.php line 46
house\searchbody.php line 10
house\searchend.php line 74

I hope it's coming along well.

I can't seem to find it now, but I thought someone made a page that 
showed all of the rentals that were in the database.  If you did please 
remind me.

Thanks,
David Degner

I played around with Drupal today and it got me thinking.  We should 
making the textbook exchange, housing finder, and other stuff into 
modules for Drupal, Zope, or Plone.  It would give us a good base to 
work off of and leave a lot more flexibility (play around with Drupal 
for a little while and you'll understand).  So does anyone know how to 
make a module for one of these things :) ?

David

Hot off the presses 0.1.5 is out.  Sorry it isn't completely backwards 
compatible but it puts the code in a better position to be built off 
of.  The database is now configured the way it should be with everything 
named appropriately and a few of the row settings changed.  The CSS is 
slimmed down.  It still has a lot of room for improvement so lets keep 
hacking away.
