Customising an Extension

[spacebiscuit]

I currently have an Ads Management extension installed on my v3.3.1 forum. I have made some customisations to the extension but I cannot see these. For example there is a common.php:

$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
'Foo' => 'Bar''
));

I have added some entries to this array, they should appear as new options in a drop-down presented when adding a configuration in the extension. Instead of the value I see the key in the select element's title and label:

<select name="FOO">FOO</select>

I am guessing that I need to re-initialise something, I have cleared cache which does not work but probably I need to reinstall the extension? But how to do that? When I click on the Extension tab in the admin it simply defaults to another plugin installed.

Should I not see a list of extensions and be able to disable or choose which to install?

Thanks in advance.

The list of enabled and not yet enabled/disabled extensions can be seen in the Customise tab.
The Extensions tab is only visible if there 's an installed extension with a customisation page.

Thanks - yes I see it now. Disabling and reinstalling fixed the issue.

The final thing I need to do, is it possible to use modulus operator in my template, something like:

Code: Select all

{% if loops.postrow|length > 1 and postrow.S_NUM_POSTS % 5 == 0 %}

Further, is it possible to output the value of postrow.S_NUM_POSTS to debug?

So this works (almost)

{% if loops.postrow|length > 1 and postrow.S_ROW_COUNT % 5 == 0 %}

However since POST_COUNT starts at 0 I am not targeting ever 5th post as I intended, and I don't seem to be able to increment the ROW_COUNT for the ex[ression:

{% if loops.postrow|length > 1 and postrow.S_ROW_COUNT+1 % 5 == 0 %}

The % operator has higher priority than +. This should work:

Code: Select all

{% if loops.postrow|length > 1 and (postrow.S_ROW_COUNT + 1) % 5 == 0 %}
