We've often seen the post; please show me an example of a certain module. Here's a little tip using Google to find examples on the internet'

Google has an advanced operator called 'allinurl' If you use this in a search you will get results for all/any sites with a certain search string in the URL.

EXAMPLE: search for:-

allinurl:/modules/xcgal/ (xcgal is the module you want an example of)

This search will return all sites with **/modules/xcgal/** in the url.

**/modules/---/** are fairly unique patterns to xoops, as we use /modules/ folder as the directory home for (nearly) all modules.

Try it! providing sites have been crawled, you'll find examples easily.

NOTE * denote preceding and following strings which we do not need to know, but will be part of the URL */

Excellent tip - Thanks Carnuke!

This is now an FAQ.

Mmm, thanks Jen... Sore point, I went to do this myself and was locked out of admin

This is being looked into - we can't have one of our best documentation writers left out like this
