Me too. The ones I found on line are for ver 4.x and throw a version error.

Just look at the modules included with XC5 installation pack

Hi guys!

Could you please let me know what data you want to insert or update? I can give you real examples of working code.

Tony.

In majority of cases, you do not write the SQL code at all, you just write PHP code and work with models.

I created a simple module to put text in the side bar. In order to do this, you need to create Main.php and somename.tpl.

Examples of my files are here: (deleted)

Paths in the X-cart installation are root/classes/XLite/Module/XC/yourmodulename/main.php and root/skins/default/en/modules/XC/yourmodulename/somename.tpl

Icon.png is in the same directory as main.php but it isn't showing up in the installed modules list.

This will give you a module that will place text or links etc. in the sidebar. I want to figure out how to make it so that I can chose the order that the module appears in the sidebar.

Hope this helps. :)

EDIT: I created a module that can add things to your sidebar. It is at http://fileshare.ninja/142997rh/sidebar-links-module.zip

Please do not use XC as developer ID, because it has been reserved for default modules.

Re: module
 

Oh? I didn't realize that. When I attempted to create a module before, the only way I could get it to appear in the installed module list in admin was to place it in XC.

I'll play with it some more. :?

Re: module
 

My problem with my previous attempts to create a module appear to be due to me using an invalid char in the dir name or the file name. That's the "-" char. When I use my own developer ID, it now works.

Are there any other idiosyncrasies that we should know about?

Re: module
 

Your Developer ID and Module ID go as a part of the PHP class namespace. So you can use any characters allowed for PHP namespaces. The "-" is not one of these.
