[Xerte-dev] Re: New modules

[Pat Lockley]

make a new folder in modules called "module_name"

In this copy all of the files from modules/xerte

make a new folder in module_name called the shortname for your template
(i.e Nottingham)

In this folder put a .info file called the same name as the folder and in
that file put the stuff from the Nottingham one (play with some of the
settings as you see fit)

Then when you create this template, it will call new template.php in your
folder
Editing will call edit
Play play and so on

So mod the code to do whatever you want it to do

If you are using Xerte as the editor, then you can leave new and edit in
tact and just mangle preview and play - but I think most of this is now in
module_functions.php
