Re: Migrating a Joomla 1.0 module to 2.5

Itemid refers to the unique id of the menu item its nothing to do with the instance of the module

Hi all,

I'm trying to migrate a simple module that I used to display a dictionary on my website. The problem is that in Joomla 2.5, submission of the form causes it to display a new blank page instead of modifying the old page content by writing to it (like it did before here: http://marcinmilkowski.pl/en/Slowniki/Slownik-ortograficzny.html).

Now, my form is like this:

<form id="keybform" method="get" action="<?php echo JRoute::_($url); ?>" id="mod_spell">
<!-- -->
 <input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_content"/>
 <input type="hidden" name="view" value="article"/>
 <input type="hidden" name="id" value="22"/>
 <input type="hidden" name="Itemid" value="33"/>
 

(The values for id and Itemid are hard-coded as this is the only instance of this module). Now, when the form gets submitted, the Joomla page is not rendered at all. How should I change the code above to make my module to handle the request and the rest of Joomla to draw the page?

Thanks in advance for tips, Marcin

Right, but com_content redirects to my php code when it gets the Itemid etc. Maybe it's irrelevant, but skipping it doesn't really affect the problem which is that GET request is routed by com_content only to my module, which is the only thing that displays.

Hi all,

the forms and requests were fine, it was a change in the database code that stopped the module from working. Please disregard this question.
