Modules Admin

This controls all modules currently installed or not on your system, and is seperated into to parts: installed modules & non-installed modules.

Module
The name of the module, it's image logo, and a link to it's main admin page if any.

Version
The current version number of this module.

Last Update
The last time the module was updated and if it's currently marked as active or not.

Action
Update:
Using this will reset the module. This is usefull if you made changes to the modules info files and want the change to be reflected in your navigation menu. It also resets the modules block functions back to zero, so you may have to reconfigure your block settings for this module if it has blocks. (not visible if not installed)

Note: Updating the system admin module will reset ALL modules. This is only usefull if you wish to make a full reset.

Deactivate:
Turns the current off without installing the actuall database entries. (not visible if not installed)

Install:
Installs the module. (not visible if already installed)

Uninstall:
Removes the entire module, it's associaled blocks, including all data from the database!

No Change:
Does nothing

Order
The order in which the module appear in your navigation menu (if it has a public section). You can remove modules from your menu by setting this to 0. (You need to update the module afterwards if you want changes to be reflected on your site)

Note: Setting this to 0 will only hide the link, not deactivate the module, see: admin/groups for setting up module specific access rights & admin/blocks for configuring any blocks eventually installed with this module.

Info
Pops up a small box with various information about the module, including credits & eventually other interesting info.


Extra:
To rename the link a module shows in your navigation menu, you need to edit $modversion['name'] in xoops_version.php in the root folder of the module in question. If the name looks something like _MI_ .. then the name is defined in the modules language files: /modules(modulename)/language/(yourlanguage)/modinfo.php

Always after making changes to a module, be sure to update the module.
