Mod Template - Information for Mod Creators of the Adoptables Script

Hello All,

This topic is meant for mod writers of the Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script. This topic provides you some resources that will help you create modifications for the new release and will help you start writing mods for the new release before it is released and after it is released.

The first thing I will share with you is the blank file template. This file is a blank slate where you can write your modification code. The file is attached as blank.php below.

Now that you have the blank file template, I will list some functions (with example usage) that are available to you when writing your mod to allow you to interface with the new Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script.

Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script Functions and Example Usage:

Function grabanysetting:

Grabs a setting from the database.

$result = grabanysetting("settingname");

Input Parameter: The name of a setting

Result: (stored in $result) - The value of the setting returned, or blank if error.

Function cancp:

Usage:

Determines if a user can access the site's Admin CP.

Example Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$result = cancp($usergroup);

Function getcurrentimage:

Gets the current image of a specified owned adoptable.

Example Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$result = getcurrentimage($id);

Function getcurrentlevel:

Example Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$result = getnextlevelexists($type, $currentlevel);

Input Parameters: The type of adoptable and the adoptable's current level..

Result: (stored in $result) - Value true is returned if a higler level exists, otherwise false is returned.

Function convertidtotype:

Usage:

Converts an adoptable's ID to a usable adoptable type, so you can use other functions that require an adoptable type.

Example Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$result = convertidtotype($id);

Input Parameters: The adoptable's numerical id.

Result: (stored in $result) - The type of adoptable.

I will post more modding information later as we get closer to a release. Mod writers can get started now on writing mods for this new release. :)

Posted in the next post is some SQL for the tables and database. :)

Having the database table structure will help you create modifications for the Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script. :)

RE: Mod Template - Information for Mod Creators of the Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script

Well, thank you.
I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but how do I change the URL of the "Blank" site? Do I change the name of the document? Or do I change something inside of these " "?

RE: Mod Template - Information for Mod Creators of the Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script

You would change blank.php to the filename where you want your mod to appear, such as www.yoursite.com/adoptables/yourmod.php or something like that. :)

The above file is just meant to be a template file for you to use. :)

RE: Mod Template - Information for Mod Creators of the Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script

Ah, OK. Thank you. Will this work for the new release?

RE: Mod Template - Information for Mod Creators of the Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script

Yeah, that's what this file is for, the new release. :)

This is just a blank file from the new release where you can write your code. It takes care of all of the required parts of the script, such as checking if the user is logged in, working with the template system, etc. :)

RE: Mod Template - Information for Mod Creators of the Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script

This is my last question ( I hope). Where do I write? On any specific spot or anything?

RE: Mod Template - Information for Mod Creators of the Rusnak PHP Adoptables Script

You can write your code anywhere you need to on the file, however most of the time you can start after:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ************************************

// End Prepwork - Output the page to the user

// ****************************************
