tessa OFFLINE Moderator Posts: 3949 Thank you received: 134 Karma: 9	Hello Chaim, Which module are you trying to upgrade to be compatible with J.2.5? Have you tried to speak with the extension developer? Or are you talking about a module that is part of Joomla core?

Tessa,

The module is a custom module (for J15), that is no longer being developed by the developer as he doesn't have the time to update it; however I am in the process of upgrading my site to J25 (using the Square One Distro), and need the functionality that is provided by the module.

The core script won't change (unless I need to), I need to make sure that I can install the module. For clarity sake i will post the code below for both the XML and PHP files.

XML code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<install version="1.5" type="module"> <name>Custom Module</name> <author>DEV</author> <authorEmail></authorEmail> <authorUrl></authorUrl> <creationDate></creationDate> <copyright>2009</copyright> <license>GPL</license> <version>1.0</version> <description> </description> -<files> <filename module="mod_CustomModule">mod_CustomModule.php</filename> </files> -<params> <param type="text" description="PARAMMODULECLASSSUFFIX" label="Module Class Suffix" default="" name="moduleclass_sfx"/> <param type="text" description="Please enter the text you would like displayed before the output." label="Pre-text" default="" name="pre_text"/> <param type="text" description="Please enter the text you would like displayed after the output" label="Post-text" default="" name="post_text"/> </params> </install>

PHP Code:

/*

* Email : 
* URL : 
* Description :

* Generated By : YouCMSAndBlog IDE Joomla Module Plugin (http://vivociti.com)
* (please support YouCMSAndBlog by promoting it, dont remove above line. Thanks.)
* WE LOVE JOOMLA! 
***/
/// no direct access 
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); 
//Get parameters 

//Please enter the text you would like displayed before the ouput.
$pre_text = $params->get('pre_text'); 
//Please enter the text you would like displayed after ouput
$post_text = $params->get('post_text'); 

Custom Code

?>

Thanks in advance,
Chaim
