One of the modules I am using is xcGal. I would like to know how to change the directory of xcGal.

Right now it is:

/modules/xcgal/

I would like to be able to do this:

/modules/gallery/

Its possible..
but u will need to go through the trouble of renaming the codings in each and every files in that particular module.

It won't work by changing the folder name itself.

you should also keep in mind this change if in some days you upload a module with the same name

think from logic wise...

open each and every file there is in the module and find the code which is pointed to modules/xcgal/ and change it to point to modules/gallery/ or any name that u wish.

isn't that just common sense?

you must also see the tables used by your module, the name of the functions (if this is a clone of another module already installed..)
have a look also in the xoops_version.php

$modversion [“dirname”] = “gallery”; or somthing else
