Module multiple instances

Hi,

I am attempting to produce 4 or 5 different shoutboxes and headline modules on the same site.. (Sounds a bit mad, I know..)

Seems that simply copying the shoutbox and headline modules 4 or 5 times each - does not work... When installing, for example, shoutbox2, XOOPS tells me that shoutbox is already installed...
Any ideas which files I might want to change...?


Thanks!

Aharon

not all modules allow for duplication. Copying the files into a diferent directory isn't enough since more then likly both directories are using the same MySQL tables.
There are however modules that can be duplicatable; such as tinycontent and myalbum-p just to name 2.

Thanks!

I am however interested in the shoutbox and headlines... Any idea where are the MySQL commands, so I could rename the db table...? (Assuming if I get it to open new MySQL table, it will work...)

Haven't looked at the code of that module, but I'm guessing changing only the sql-file wont do. Anyway, you'll find the sql file that builds and populates your database in the module/sql folder. Just find & replace the table names.

Hummm.. Good idea, thanks!


In the absence of visible sql folder/files within shoutbox and headlines modules -
has anyone got a clue where the db commands reside...?

Thanks!
