New module not showing up in Block-Modules (Modules Menu)

I've created a few custom modules for my site - and they work fine enough on their own, but they are clearly not integrating with the permissions groups and most importantly the block-modules main menu.
I'm missing a majority of the ACP > Module Edit options in my custom modules. Normally you can edit the following options:

Custom Module Name:
Who can View This?
What Groups:
Visible in Modules Block?

Mine only shows:
Custom Module Name:

It shows as active - but invisible in the Module Menu.
I basically just copied the majority of this code from another RN module, and created my own table content at the bottom. I'm still really new to this, how much am I missing here? Smile

Code:

<?php





if ( !defined('MODULE_FILE') ) {


    die ('You can\'t access this file directly...');


}





require_once('mainfile.php');


$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));


get_lang($module_name);


define('INDEX_FILE', true); //comment this out to hide right blocks


if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) { $index = 1; } else {$index = 0; } // auto set right blocks for pre patch 3.1 compatibility





include('header.php');





$cookie[0] = intval($cookie[0]);


if (!empty($cookie[1])) {


   $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT name, username, user_email FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE user_id='$cookie[0]'"));


   if (!empty($row['name'])) {


      $sender_name = stripslashes($row['name']);


   } else {


      $sender_name = stripslashes($row['username']);


   }


   $sender_email = stripslashes($row['user_email']);


}





OpenTable();


echo "<h1>New Module Header Here</h1>";


echo "blah blah blah";


CloseTable();





include_once('footer.php');


?>

oh.. jsut answered my own question. This module was marked as "Put in Home"
When you do this, the module Edit options are limited as I noted above.

took it out of Home, and all is well.

Does the module have a seperate language file? If not, remove the

Code:

get_lang($module_name);

and see if that helps.
