Tapping the admin section of modules?

Newbie Joined: Sep 11, 2006 Posts: 92

Lets say for instance a modules admin path is this

Code:

modules.php?name=Hey&file=admin

Is there a shortcut to keep from having to tap this?

Well anyway I got that tapped, I still would like to know an easier way if it exist.

That is a really odd module admin link. It looks like the author chose to keep the administration strictly within the module rather than creating an Administration Panel admininstration component for the module. I have not seen too many like this, so would think it better to just "tap" as you find them.

Personally, I would not bother tapping administration links. I don't see the value in it.

Agreed its pointless, but its the only way to access the modules admin if you tap.

The way its built is a seperate admin.php inside the hey module folder. Very strange way to admin a module, very.

Interesting point that I may have missed earlier. Why would you not be able to access the module's admin? Without your extra "tap" what was the url? The one you posted looks just fine to work untapped, so I am Confused

Well I will spill the beans I was tapping Telli's Link To Us mod

Here is the info

GT-Link_To_Us.php

Code:

$urlin = array(
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Link_To_Us&op=getzip&l_id=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Link_To_Us&op=getres&r_id=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Link_To_Us&file=admin&op=([a-z]*)&([A-Za-z0-9_-]*)=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Link_To_Us&file=admin&op=([a-z]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Link_To_Us&file=admin"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=Link_To_Us"'
);

$urlout = array(
'link_to_us-getzip-\\1.html',
'link_to_us-res-\\1.html',
'link_to_us-admin-\\1-\\2-\\3.html',
'link_to_us-admin-\\1.html',
'link_to_us-admin.html',
'link_to_us.html'
);

.htaccess

Code:

#Link_To_US
RewriteRule ^link_to_us-getzip-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Link_To_Us&op=getzip&l_id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^link_to_us-res-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Link_To_Us&op=getres&r_id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^link_to_us-admin-([a-z]*)-([A-Za-z0-9_-]*)-([0-9]*).html modules.php?name=Link_To_Us&file=admin&op=$1&$2=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^link_to_us-admin-([a-z]*).html modules.php?name=Link_To_Us&file=admin&op=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^link_to_us-admin.html modules.php?name=Link_To_Us&file=admin [L]
RewriteRule ^link_to_us.html modules.php?name=Link_To_Us [L]

As you can see the admin is actually written inside the modules folder with a seperate admin.php

Directory Structure
/Link_To_Us/admin.php
/Link_To_Us/admin

Ok, I see. When you say that the link to admin would not work without it being tapped, was the resultant link something like this:

link_to_us.html&file=admin

Unfortunately, what you have done, is probably the only thing that you could have done.

Good job!
