[support] Writing a module and get an error

Fri Jun 10 23:36:40 UTC 2011

What is the menu path that is getting this error?  Perhaps you could
grep this code for it? Could you share the menu_hook implementation for
this module? It's hard to help without specifics. 

Also, examine the contents of your system table and see if there is
another reference to an annotate module.

Thanks but still getting this error:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require
<http://www.tony-mac.com/drupal-7.0/admin/config/annotate/function.requi
re> ]: Failed opening required
'/home3/tonymacc/public_html/drupal-7.0/modules/system/annotate.admin.in
c' (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php') in
/home3/tonymacc/public_html/drupal-7.0/includes/menu.inc on line 499

Why is the function in menu.inc looking for annotate.admin.inc in
/modules/system/?
Here line 499 in menu.inc:

 // Only continue if the site status is not set.
  if ($page_callback_result == MENU_SITE_ONLINE) {
    // Rebuild if we know it's needed, or if the menu masks are missing
which
    // occurs rarely, likely due to a race condition of multiple
rebuilds.
    if (variable_get('menu_rebuild_needed', FALSE) ||
!variable_get('menu_masks', array())) {
      menu_rebuild();
    }
    if ($router_item = menu_get_item($path)) {
      if ($router_item['access']) {
        if ($router_item['include_file']) {
          require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/' . $router_item['include_file'];
        }
        $page_callback_result =
call_user_func_array($router_item['page_callback'],
$router_item['page_arguments']);
      }
      else {
        $page_callback_result = MENU_ACCESS_DENIED;
      }
    }
    else {
      $page_callback_result = MENU_NOT_FOUND;
    }
  }

I completely uninstalled the module from the server and then recreated
it. Flush caches, saved module list. Stood on my head for an hour ....
same error every time.

Yes, they should all be in the same directory.  All includes are
relative to the location of the .info and .module files.  And the
.install file will need to be in the same folder as well.  Think of the
name of the containing folder as the name of the project which can house
multiple modules if you wish.  It often has the same name as the module
but not always.  A possible listing might be

--- sites/all/modules/annotation

annotate.admin.inc

annotate.install

annotate.module

annotate.info

annotate_manager.module

annotate_manager.info

annotate_manager.admin.inc

annotate_manager.install

I invented the concept of an annotate_manager module in the same
directory just to drive the point home.   I intentionally made the name
of the containing folder different, just to point out that it has no
relation to the module names, but it is normally the same as the base
module name.

You can also deploy these folders at any depth within your
sites/all/modules folder.  So if you want to keep all your custom
modules together in a 

Sites/all/modules/custom folder instead, have at it.  But do keep the
module files together in one folder. In that case all these files would
live in 

Sites/all/modules/custom/annotation instead. 

Make sense?

Not installed in modules/system folder.
Dir structure as follows:
sites/all/modules/annotate/

*	annotate.admin.inc
*	annotate.install

sites/all/modules/custom/annotate/

*	annotate.info
*	annotate.module

The book was a bit confusing as to where the files should go. Should
they all be in one or the other of these dirs and not split between the
2?

Thanks ... yes near the mark.

Guessing "annotate" is the name of your module.  Is it installed in the

sites/all/modules/myprojectname.  

One common mistake is when moving files around when you're first
learning how to develop is to leave a copy of your module in another
folder.  When you do this, drupal might find that old copy first.  If it
does that it will be looking for annotate.admin.inc in the wrong
location. 

My guess here is that  you implemented a menu_hook that references an
include file (annotate.adin.inc ).  

Make sure any duplicate/old module files are removed and then clear your
caches. You might also need to save changes to the module list to make
sure the system table (which keeps track of where modules are installed)
gets updated with the correct location of your module file. 

Am I near the mark?

Hi All,
I am in Chapter 2 of Tomlinson's et al book about Pro Drupal 7
Development.
Get the following error upon completion of the code:
Warning:
require_once(/home3/tonymacc/public_html/drupal-7.0/modules/system/annot
ate.admin.inc) [function.require-once
<http://tony-mac.com/drupal-7.0/admin/function.require-once> ]: failed
to open stream: No such file or directory in
menu_execute_active_handler() (line 499 of
/home3/tonymacc/public_html/drupal-7.0/includes/menu.inc).

Grateful for any pointers.

Thanks 
Tony
