Please can any one give me guide lines on how to clone AMS 2.41 module.

What file i need to rename and what process to do it.

Thanks allot in advance

First of all, AMS is, I believe, no longer being developed, so, if it were me, I would be hesitant about getting any significant amount of content into it. That, for me anyway, would leave News and Smartsection, and, if easy cloning is important, then the clear choice is Smartsection.

I'm sure you have your reasons as to why you are not using Smartsection, but it may be time to re-think them.

does smart section have a great spotlighting feature like AMS?

SS does have a Spotlight block. As I recall, though, the AMS one is pretty special, and I doubt it will be that nice. Should suffice, though. I suggest you install SS, load a few articles, and test it out.

But, even if the Spotlight feature isn't as nice, the vigorous ongoing development, easy clonability, etc., are, IMHO, more important, but check it out and decide for yourself.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a script to import AMS articles into SS floating around somewhere--perhaps at the SmartFactory--but I don't know for sure.

Here's a link to the SS 2.13 Final announcement at the SmartFactory. Check out the features and then take a look at the Spotlight block on the home page:

Edit:
Looking at the SS admin page, there is an "Import" button. I clicked on it with this result:

I do not have AMS installed, so I can't say if it is supported, but you can find out when/if you install SS for yourself.
