Trouble loading fmcompute module

[aaron_w]

So I set my

$MODULEDIR = "/home/mydomain.com/formproc/modules";

and my

$FMCOMPUTE = "fmcompute.php";

and the files are indeed in those directories, but I got:

Error=Cannot load FMCompute module from file '/home/shanwhit/mydomain.com/formproc/modules/fmcompute.php': include_once() [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: Failed opening '../tectite//home/shanwhit/mydomain.com/formproc/modules/fmcompute.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')

It appears that it's prepending "../tectite/" when trying to open it, so it looks like it will always fail unless I create a directory called "tectite" that's "../" to my tectite formmail.

Looking in the source code, I found

    if ($bAdvTemplates)
    {
        $FMCTEMPLATE_PROC = true;
        if (!include_once("../tectite/$MODULEDIR/$FMCOMPUTE"))
            Error("load_fmcompute",GetMessage(MSG_LOAD_FMCOMPUTE,
                            array("FILE"=>"$MODULEDIR/$FMCOMPUTE",
                                    "ERROR"=>$php_errormsg)),false,false);
    }

and

    if ($bAdvTemplates)
        $FMCTEMPLATE_PROC = true;
    if (!include_once("../tectite/$MODULEDIR/$FMCOMPUTE"))
        Error("load_fmcompute",GetMessage(MSG_LOAD_FMCOMPUTE,
                        array("FILE"=>"$MODULEDIR/$FMCOMPUTE",
                                "ERROR"=>$php_errormsg)),false,false);

Indeed, all the hooks are called in a similar way.

So, I moved my modules directory to "../tectite/modules" and it started working fine.

I'm not complaining, I just think it's a bit odd that you provide a way to configure MODULEDIR and HOOK_DIR, but then it's always assumed they are going to be under "../tectite/"



So I thought I'd point that out.

Hi,

You're right it is odd.

In fact it's so odd, I'm sure we didn't do it.

Can you please check the version of FormMail you're using and let me know? Also, you can download a fresh copy and see if it has the same lines.

I think you'll find it doesn't, and somehow you've inserted those "../tectite" strings yourself - maybe the edit you used repeated a command through the file?

[aaron_w]

Sure ...

I'm using 8.05 ...

Woah! You're right. I downloaded a fresh copy and the "../tectite" isn't in there at all. Well, shoot. Funny, I don't remember doing any "replace alls" when I was messing with the source code.

Well, thanks for pointing that out and helping me notice that I must have inadvertently done something. I'm going to go back and start fresh.
