Any chance of a simple "Hello World" module that developers could use as a framework for craeting a new module?

This would be especially useful for developers like me who, while know how to program, need to understand how XOOPS hangs together.

The new docs are a good start, but there is nothing like a well commented piece of code to walk through

This module should:
* Be installable
* Create a table
* Include a template
* Include a block
* Include a menu
* Include an admin section
* Be uninstallable

For example, if the table simply had a text column with "Hello World!" in it, the template and block would render it accordingly and the admin would allow the text to be changed.

Thanks in advance,

WarDick is right, Modgen is exactly what you want. Read the extensive documentation that comes with it first though.

ModGen will create a new shell module for you play with and do what you want. It creates all the necessary files for both user side and admin side pages.

This does look like what I have been looking for. I've just downloaded and will give it a try over the w/end.

Shame the name wasn't more meaningful "ModGen" has so many different meanings.

Thanks,

Even "Module Generator" would be better than ModGen.
