Module Administration

Is it possible to develop a custom module and have it display in the Modules Administration menu versus the Administration Menu? How do you develop custom Nuke modules and give access to users without giving them superusers accounts?

Yes. Put the admin file in an admin directory under the module, rather than on the site admin file. You can create admin users without giving them full access to your nuke administration - you just specify those modules to which they have access. They will need to access your admin page, but they won't see anything other than the modules to which you've granted them admin access.

My structure is like this:

html/admin/links/links_milpacs.php
html/admin/case/case_milpacs.php
html/image/admin/milpacs.png
html/modules/MILPACS/admin/index.php
etc

and so on.

I did not create a file under

html/admin/modules/milpacs.php

As I think you meant.

Can you be more descriptive when you say

"admin file in an admin directory under the module"

Currently all my admin files are in my module except for my case and link.

Moving the case and links to the module moves it from administration to modules administration, and allows you to assign admin users to that module in later versions of PHP-Nuke.

When you move the files, you can rename like:
html/admin/links/links_milpacs.php -> html/modules/milpacs/admin/links.php
html/admin/case/case_milpacs.php -> html/modules/milpacs/admin/case.php

Thanks...I didn't think it was that easy.
