Hi, not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question.

Basically I want to make a simple module to pull information from existing tables and display it along with one extra piece of information.

I have not started coding yet, that will no doubt take me forever, even though it should be a simple module, I just have not coded a XOOPS module before so not 100% sure where to start...

My main problem now is that I am trying to understand the process of building a module, and what needs to be included.

For example, my module is really just going to be designed to pull certain users (which I choose) from the database, add an extra field which will be a description or more info field from the webmasters point of view.

All of the module 'functions' will be carried out in the module admin section so do I still need to include a module settings section?

Will XOOPS allow the installation of a module if it does not have any settings information?

I ask because I just looked at my XOOPS sites and all of them have a module settings option for every single module.
