Developing Modules Getting Started [SOLVED]

Post by elf72 »

Hello,
I am trying to get started developing modules for CMSMS. I have seen the tutorial @ http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... e_Tutorial but this tutorial is incomplete and once you get past displaying data on a page it fades in detail regarding the admin interface and ends with "More to come".

So where or how can I get some easy to follow examples or more information in getting started writing CMSMS modules?

P.S.
For my first module I need an "Ad Rotator" (and I have already seen the ad slider and it's not going to work for me) with an admin for creating ad groups and adding ads (images) with link URL's to the group.

You may want to look at the Banner module...

I use CGBlog as my example when coding modules. If I see some functionality that I like, I look at the code to see how he did it.
