Hello everyone, I wanted to change the name of a module I call "chat" to something else today but I later got an error saying "file path broken" my question is can't I rename a folder in the Module folder just like that? If no then where in the barrage of phpfox folders do I do that. Thanks

Does it mean no one knows it

Why do you want to change it. Do you not know that when the module was installed, the module creator has already registered that folder. So naturally fox will not be able to locate it. Well, this is a universal rule, in most CMS systems - if you have ever actually developed an extension in any of these CMSes, you will understand why. To actually rename the folder, if you must is possible, but you will need to tweak some stuffs in the database and also within the plugin's code.

As DHtml as said, phpfox in default does not allow changing of folder names because it will alter the url structure. In order to do this on your own, you will have to edit most files in the phpfox script that links to the folder you renamed.

The reason I asked this question is beacuse there is a file path that just goes straight to th admincp , I don't know much about phpfox if not I would have writen a small code to disallow it from just any user that's why I want to change the file path by renaming the folder so I will be the only one that knows it eg www.mysite.com/index.php?do=/game/moderator to www.mysite.com/index.php?do=/me/moderator.

The stuff you just said is an htaccess trick. If you read round phpfox itself, you should be able to do it. Otherwise you might need to alter codes like earlier suggested.

When you change the name in the phpfox file root, also change the name in the Modules section of your adminCP so that phpfox will know what folder to call up when looking for the module .
