[solved] not able to display errors after failing module install

[Jos]

I don't seem to find a way to show an errormessage after module install fails.

Yesterday Calguy suggested me in IRC:

Code: Select all

return array(FALSE, $errmsg);

That does stop executing method.install.php, butt still results in a succesfully install message

To use

Code: Select all

echo $this->ShowErrors($errmsg);

results in an immediate redirect to the succesfully install message...

Somebody has an idea to display errors during module install?

[Jos]

Can some module developer confirm if this code does or does not display an errormessage during the installationprocess of the module?

Code: Select all

return array(FALSE, 'install-error!');

Turns out to be a little bug...

it's a bug, I'll fix it in 1.7.1
but then in the method.install.php you will have to use a temporary variable to return an error
i.e:

Code: Select all

$tmp = 'This is an error message'; 
return $tmp;

Thx Calguy1000

I've the same problem here - I would like to abort installation if an error occurres (folder not writable) but if I use

Code: Select all

$tmp = $this->Lang('installerror');
return $tmp;

it refuses to work. Using this instead works:

Code: Select all

$tmp = 'An error occurred during installation';
return $tmp;

Using this before return also displays the correct message:

Code: Select all

die($this->Lang('installerror'));

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Edit: Additionaly I found a bug in the error-message-page - the url of "Back zu Menu" looks like this:
admin/{$thisurl}
