Create my own groups mod

How complicated would it be to create my own groups module, using the original Groups mod as a template?

Basically creating a copy of the Groups mod and call it for example Teams.

Which files would need to be modified for such a thing?

Best,

Eric

Practically all of them. The classes, language keys, folder names, database tables, menu entry's, most everything have to be renamed to make it unique so it does not conflict with the original or any other 3'rd party module.

It's not a simple task.

Ok, this will be my project for the summer then..

Do a forum search for Clubs Module... it's a free add-on module... plus you can purchase, for a small fee, instructions to rebrand it.  Also, here is the forum link http://www.boonex.com/forums/?action=goto&my_threads=1#topic/Clubs-Module-Support.htm  

Always a good indication when developers offer a support forum 

Thats very good, thanks for the tip. I don't get the re-branding part though. That should be too hard.

 By rebranding I mean that you can completely rename the module from Clubs to say Teams.  

Note that the free Clubs module is only a copy of the basic Groups module... if you want more features then you'll need to do as I did... purchase an upgraded version from the BoonEx Market.

Ok I then I get it, you mean to change the name of the folder. As far as I see thats the only place the user can see the word "Club" after you have changed the snippets in the language file. And I suppose even that could be hidden with a re-write rule in htaccess.

Yes I know there are some other more advanced groups as well, but this actually works pretty good for me. I appreciate the tip.
