Samplemodule.install problems

Posted by sisko on February 21, 2010 at 6:34pm

Hello guys,

I'm developing my first real drupal module call samplemodule.

I have samplemodule.install with the following code in it :

<?php
// $Id$

function samplemodule_install(){
	drupal_set_message('Testing the install hook : '.$phase);
#	die('reaching here');
}

function samplemodule_uninstall(){
	drupal_set_message('SampleModule module un-installed!');
}

My problem is I get no confirmation message that my install and uninstall hooks are responding.
I need the install hook especially for setup procedures.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks but that did not work either.

The issue here is my hook_install is somehow not recognised nor called and so its code does not execute

I have samplemodule.install and in side it is the code below :

<?php
// $Id:

function samplemodule_install(){
	#drupal_set_message('Testing the install hook : '.$phase);
	drupal_set_message('Testing the install hook.', 'status');
	die('reaching here');
}

function samplemodule_uninstall(){
	drupal_set_message('samplemodule module un-installed!');
	die('exiting');
}

What am I doing wrong or not doing ? Am I supposed to make drupal aware of my hook_install somewhere?

Please help

Finally got it ...

So I don't really know what changed but I got it working.

The weird thing is I went to the un-install modules area, and there was my module listed - I am positively certain I looked before but it was not listed.

Once I un-installed my module, my code for both hooK_install and hooK_uninstall worked fine.

My guess is I probably checked the un-install area before I had cleared cache perhaps.

Thanks for your input. Hope this helps someone else.

You should make this a new question in the forum instead of attaching it to someone else's, or no one will see your question.
