I'd like to customise a module's URL.

Is it simply a matter of changing the module folder name and editing the xoops_version.php file to match before installation? Or are there other database considerations...

How do you customise a module's URL?

In theory it should be as easy as changing the name of the module folder and updating xoops_version.php file and then installing the module. However a lot will depend on the individual module and if the developer has hardcoded the module folder name into links or other areas of the code.

Thanks for the reply.

So I suppose the best way would be to scan all the files prior to installation of the module.

Search for and replace the pre-set xoops_version.php dirname value. e.g: "$modversion['dirname']='modulefolder'"

Search the module files for 'modulefolder' text string, then replace (one by one) with personalised text to customise URL - then install.

Bascially, search and replace the module files for the hard-coded folder name and update prior to install.

what do you think?
