Hi,

I thought to rename a module, all I'd need is:
* to change its' directory name (e.g. wfdownloads to balls)
and
* change a line in the xoops_version.php file to tell it the directory name was changed.
(e.g. $modversion['dirname'] = "balls";)

Getting white screens after doing such changes - means I am missing something..

Any ideas?

Thanks!


Aharon

Hi aharon.

This generally a bad idea as you cannot guarantee that a module author has not referenced the expected module name anywhere in code, which might happen when linking in files from say the module/images directory for example.

Your best bet is to use a file search facility and look at all files under that module for references to wfdownloads.

This is possible to do - for an example, this very site

Dont forget to enable debug as it may help find the cause of the blank screens.
