Install modules without dependancies

I dont know if this is the right place to post this but here goes.....

I am wanting to install the Clubs module (aka Groups) but I dont want to install the Files, Sound or Video modules that are needed in order to install the Clubs (Groups) module.

Does anyone know of a work around to enable me to do this.

Many thanks

If a module requires another module to be installed, it most likely uses some of that module's features. If you install the module without installing its dependencies, you can run into problems.

You should contact the developer of the module to see if they can come up with any solutions.

You can also install the required modules, and then hide them from view, such as through the navigation menu, etc. You can search the forums for more information on this.

Thanks for the reply Magnussoft, the module is the original Boonex Group module which Audanbal managed to rename it to Clubs.

I did think about removing links to those modules, but I wasnt sure if members could still access them by some other method.

I'll have a play and see how it goes.

You should also remove the permissions for the modules, or else someone might stumble upon them.
