 Post subject: Adding my own mod?  [SOLVED]
PostPosted: Wed Sep 22, 2004 5:06 am 
Hey,

I want to experiment and see if I can add my own mod. How do I go about making it available to install through the admin section?

Thank You so much,
animgirl

Correctly written modules will automatically show up in the plugin list. Take a look at this post for a quick run down on how they work: http://cmsmadesimple.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=51. I still need to sit down and write a good tutorial on how modules can be created, but I as far as I'm concerned, the module API isn't quite done yet. As we write more of them, we will eventually tweak it enough to be documentable.

Also, look at the LinkBlog and News modules.

open up the cmsmodule.php file under one of the already existing modules, and change the modulename to yours

then open the modulefunctions.php and repeat, removing any code that you wont be using

Ah - I didn't run across that thread. Great :)
Really, I'm not very experienced in PHP/MySQL so I'll just be playing with it. Are there any resources out there to download modules for this CMS?

On another note, I've looked for a good CMS system that wasn't overloaded with junk I didn't need, or something that wouldn't take light years to customize and just couldn't find one. I'm so glad I found this one.

Note: oops I meant "plugins" not "modules" to download. :oops:

:) It's ok. I confuse it all myself.

I really don't have a place to download any "3rd party" stuff yet, becuase I haven't really had any submissions yet.

I guess as soon as I get some I'll scramble to come up with something on the cmsmadesimple.org site.

I'm glad you like the system. It's been fun writing it so far.

just started getting serious about PHP/MYSQL a few weeks ago, so now i'm trying this new CMS out to see HOW it works. ya know?

1. either get some ideas from it to build my own CMS.
-OR-
2. learn this one so well, i can write plugins for it and share with the rest of ya.

I'm sure you can do it! Besides, it's probably easier than writing your own CMS
