I used mod_rewrite to direct /sports to /modules/news/index.php set to a certain category. This mostly works, but it is not loading the language file. After extensive tracing, I found out that kernel/module.php loads the language file for 'system' rather than 'news' when accessed through /sports. The PHP code through here is fairly dense, and I have not been able to find the problem in an initial run-through of the code, so I am hoping someone has an answer already :)

Thanks.

XOOPS 2.2.3 and News 1.44, by the way.

OK, nevermind, I got it working by hacking kernel/module.php. I adapted it from an post on the forums that appears to target 2.0 series XOOPS, because the code was in a completely different place, but I got it working.
