XOOPS ModuleInstaller 1.6.0 Speeds Multi-Module Testing and Development
ModuleInstaller 1.6.0 is the bulk admin tool that keeps multi-module XOOPS work practical—especially when you are building features, debugging integrations, or spinning up throwaway test setups.
Why it helps testers and developers• Bulk install, update, activate, and deactivate — stop clicking through modules one by one when a stack changes.
• Module Sets + Focus — define a named subset (e.g. “billing stack”), activate only those modules, and park the rest without uninstalling. Snapshot first, restore when the test is done.
• Safer batch runs — missing folders and protected modules (system, ModuleInstaller) are skipped with clear reports instead of killing the whole job.
• Less friction on large sites — filter, select-all, sticky selection count, and “apply set” on bulk lists keep long module catalogs usable.
• Sample set included — load a ready PM + Profile + Protector set and start from a common baseline instead of rebuilding it by hand.
Requirements: XOOPS 2.7.0+, PHP 8.2+, mtools 1.2.0+ (installed; need not be active).
Ship fewer “which modules were on?” mysteries. Spend the time on the bug, not the admin clicks.
