Re: module creation tutorial

The Kaotik tutorials are pretty good, but one thing I've found is that they try to do too much stuff at once, which can be difficult to manage if you're new to module development.

0k, I have learnt the basics! but how do I create the admin section??

I managed to restrict the access just for the admin, but I can't manage to put the left module menu nor the top there, I am using
require_once '../../../include/cp_header.php' ;

but can't see it, anyone can help me?

thanks

There's still a few things you'll need to do...

1) Modify your module's ./xoops_version.php file to let XOOPS know you have an admin section for the module. Something like:
$modversion['hasAdmin'] = 1;
$modversion['adminindex'] = "admin/index.php";
$modversion['adminmenu'] = "admin/menu.php";

where admin/index.php has the main admin code. The admin/menu.php tells XOOPS what menu options are available for your module. It's easiest to view an existing module to get the idea of how this works.

2) In your admin/index.php file you'll need to add
xoops_cp_header();
before the code you want to display and
xoops_cp_footer();
after your code.

Hopefully this helps guide you in the right direction.
