[SOLVED] Newbie question about installing a module

[peter2108]

I have written a simple module Foo based on the Skeleton module. How do I install Foo?

I guess that I can add a folder Foo under the modules folder and CMS will find this folder and install the module for me.  But I may be completely wrong about this.

Unfortunately placing Foo in the modules folder just kills the admin.

This could be because Foo is full of errors, or it could be because you can't install modules by just populating the Modules folder and leaving the rest to CMS.

Can someone clarify this for me please?

Many thanks,

Peter

Your assumption is almost right. CMSms does find the new folder and show it in the modules list (extensions -> modules). There you will see a link to install the new module... if it is free of errors of course

Ah ... now all is clear. Many thanks.
