The only way that I can think of to do this, would be to actually change the table names in the php code. Maybe just add another prefix. Let's say that you want 2 copies of the news module. You would need to have two separate directories for the news module under the modules folder.
Xoops
Modules
- news
- othernews (whatever you may want to name this)
Then, after you have two separate folders, you can edit the table names in the copied folder. Let's say that one of your tables is news_articles, you may want to change this to be other_news_articles, or something that corresponds to both the original name and the new name. But, this is all just a suggestion.
