How can I build a new module?

Is there any documentation or article out there that explains how to make your own module. Or explaining how a module is constructed.

I have a database with search scripts which is outside of my XOOPS site and so I need to either:

1 write a XOOPS module using the current database.
2 wrap the current search scripts into a XOOPS module.

I think I need an explanation of how modules are constructed before I can attempt it.!!!

Or is it possibble for somebody to explain how I would go about doing the above (maybe solution 2 is easier?????)

Big thanks for any ideas, suggestions or links

Hi,

Tryhttp://dev.xoops.org/dl/ModuleBuilding.pdf

also DevWiki at:http://dev.xoops.org/modules/phpwiki/

There is modGen fromhttp://xoobs.net/modules/wfdownloads/visit.php?cid=1&lid=23
it will generate empty module for you (I never tested it ...)

For option 2 I think there was a FAQ entry - if I find it, I'll post it here. You may also use some of wrap module that will display your page in iframe. Never used those too, so can't recomend one.

Thanks for the info, it's almost clear now, I'll just have to figure out some things all by myself.

The reply to the initial question is a full one; do you not think that direction to the user guide appropriate given the general nature of the question

Just four posts and you've already resorted to sarchasm. Why?

For #2 use a module like MyiFrame or a general content module like CJayContent and wrap the link using <IFRAME> tags.

mortuk is not silly at all. If you check 'gordman's" profile you will see that all his posts are spam.

@ Moderators: remove all spam posts including these...
