** the code above is originally from SmartFactory's smartsection modules zip file..i modify it a bit **
u can change the name of the clone module to anything...as long u follow the caps rule..example - if u want the name of the clone module to be mynews...find
'news' => 'blog',
'NEWS' => 'BLOG',
'stories' => 'blogs',
'stories_files' => 'blogs_files',
'topics' => 'topicblogs',
'article' =>'blogitem',
'storyid' => 'blogid',
'stories_votedata' => 'blog_votedata',
and replace it with these
'news' => 'mynews',
'NEWS' => 'MYNEWS',
'stories' => 'mynewsstories',
'stories_files' => 'news_files',
'topics' => 'topicnews',
'article' =>'newsitem',
'storyid' => 'newsid',
'stories_votedata' => 'news_votedata',
don't change other part of the code..
3. run the code .. XOOPS root/clone.php ...example
http://www.yoursite.com/clone.php3. Install the new cloned module, edit the language/english/modinfo.php and images/news_slogo.png
4. update clone module
5. enjoy..
so far i don't have any problem using the clone module and news 1.44 at the same time in my site
Ok Good luck
