first we take a look at module_exec.inc:
// Authentication of User according his session (its not the main auth)
if($myEnv["auth"] !== false) checkLogin();
// Connect to database and return $db object
if($myEnv["connectdb"] !== false) $db = connect_database();
// do module translation and give back a hashmap with all keys and values
if($myEnv["translate"] !== false) $hashmap = setLocaledText($MGW->spkz, $myEnv["module"]);
// get user settingw and return them in $settings hashmap
if($myEnv["getsettings"] !== false) $settings = get_settings($myEnv["module"]);
// call standard module submenu (smenu.php) and integrate it
if($myEnv["stdsmenu"] !== false)
if(file_exists(ROOTPATH . "/" . $myEnv["module"]. "/inc/smenu.php"))
include(ROOTPATH . "/" . $myEnv["module"] . "/inc/smenu.php");
else
echo "<b>Error: </b>Program cannot find Submenu-Definition File (smenu.php) in module \"inc\" folder. Please create this file or set \$myEnv[stdsmenu] to false in your program and define it there.";
As you can see, this include does 5 important tasks
Check the user login (and reject him to login if something is wrong)
Connect to the database and return object $db
translate the current module and gives back a hashmap $hashmap
get settings for actual module for actual user (not implemented yet)
create the submenu
