hello altogether
first of all, I'm a total XOOPS newbie.

my question: is it possible to duplicate a module. in my XOOPS project - www.ocaholic.ch/xoops/html - I'd like to have a section "Reviews and Articles" and also a section "Games". these two sections should be accessible by the main menu. so, you can see that I need the tutorial module twice. is it possible to install a module twice, or does anybody know another solution for my problem?

tanx for help!

PS: sorry for my english. I'm swiss and so you can see it's not my native language.

to duplicate a module..

you can't just rename the module folder...

you have to rename everything inside the.. codings.. the variables and stuff..

it would be a possibility, but an awful lot of work!

does anybody know another way to do this job?

edit: does anybody know a program with which you can search for text passages and file names, in this case tuturial, and afterwards replace them by games, or something else?

Maybe you can use 2 types of TUtorial module

there is another one here.
https://xoops.org/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=12&lid=299

else.. you need to duplicate the module

or wait for other members to respond to your help..
maybe they got better ideas...

goodluck~

Editplus works great for find-replace across multiple files

http://www.editplus.com (you can use an evaluation version)

for cloning a module, i'm sure you can search and find topics that discuss how to do it, but quick overview:

create a folder named gamereview or whatever you want to call it. copy all files from the tutorial folder into the game folder. open xoops_version.php, change the module title, dirname, rename the sql tables, and rename any templates that are listed (whatever.html)

open the gamereview/sql/mysql.sql file, find/replace the table names with the names that you created in xoops_version

go through every .php file in the module, replacing all references to the table name with your table name

find anything that is 'hard-coded' to the tutorials folder name, and change it to the gamereview folder name.

that should get you started, but i suggest using the Search box in the upper right of your screen to find a more detailed walkthrough

until now I duplicated the module, or in other words I replaced all the code I had to.
I also had no problem with installing the recoded module, but when I want to access the modules configuration I'm going to get a white/blank page.
does anybody have an idea what I could have made wrong, or where I could have made something wrong?

it's likely an error in xoops_version.php
