Hi all. I'm new to php, but I have a website plugin that works by it's self and I'd like to learn how to make it a XOOPS module.

I have no clue where to start. I've read the wiki and looked over the API, but they realy don't explain anything.

I figured I'd start out small, so I'm trying to make a module that just prints 'Hello' to the screen, so I've taken the 'Sections' module because it's the smallest module I could find and changed the info to fit my needs. I then placed it in the 'modules' folder, and now none of the modules that are not installed will show up. So now I have a list of the installed modules, but nothing below that.

Is there any docs out there that I haven't found, and what am I doing wrong? Where do I go from here? I have no problem showing what I have so far, so if someone can take the time to help out, please ask for whatever info you need.

Thanks

A good place to start would be here, or if the results of the module generator seem too complex, try the sample module.

have you already gone through the module kickstart guide?

Personally, I learned how to make a module by tearing apart existing modules, namely the news module.

Thank you very much for those resources. They are a great start. I realy appriciate you guys taking the time to help out.

Hopefuly it won't be too long until I'll be able to put something back into the XOOPS community.
