Modules development

Hello,
I have general question about module development in RN. If I was going to implement few custom modules which I have running right now on nuke 7.9. How much do I need to change to get them working on RN 2.10? I know that I could go ahead and look at both to see the differences, but maybe some one can give some more insights on this?

In general, they transfer right over. I wrote a couple modules under 7.9 and was surprised to see they worked straight away in RN2.10.

That was probably the quickest reply ever- thanks.

So, in general modules that are made for 7.9 like GCalendar and others should work without any problems too then?

Well I did write and test GCalendar on both RN and 7.9, but nothing really had to be done to get it to work under both.

Most modules "should" work...there are always exceptions. Smile

Yes, it is actually more of an issue taking a module that was written prior to 7.5 due to the changes in how module administration functions work.

Is there a guide or list of points to account for differently when developing module for RN?

There isn't anything different about RN....it follows the same conventions in PHP-Nuke 7.6 and greater.

The only thing that I would suggest, if you are creating a new module, is to make sure it is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional code. Use the

from the W3C to test this.

Certainly not a requirement (usually), but a suggestion. Wink
