Question about module intergration

I was thinking about intergrating modules with a fresh install of rn 2.20

If I drop in the install code from the modules into the rnconfig files(i will psot more details later). Would this work?

I have a small idea of making a community subdomain websites. Having a all in one package would make life very easy.

It is hard to give an answer when I don;t know exactly what you mean by "drop the instal code into rnconfig files"

all the sql data base entrys from other modules

First I will be doing a full deletion of everything on one of my servers. Try to install all the modules I would like to use to see if their all compatible and make the changes I need to do while running. Then clean the site again and try and intagrate the modules into the install files and run it. See if everything goes good.

Mods I will be adding:

Clan Mod
MIRC Mod
Myspace nuke Mod
Psychonuke Mod (psychostats waiting on 3.0 to come out)
A few others possibly

rnconfig is called all the time so all that would achieve is overwriting your database every time or generating a lot of errors depending on whether you test to see if certain tables exist or not.
The best appraoch, if I have understood what you are trying to do correctly is just take a dump of your database including fill INSERTs through a tool like phpNyAdmin which your osting provider should make available to you.

Sorry I ment to say adding the codes from the module install files to the installSQL.php depending on if the modules need a sql entry.

I would recommend putting the insert code for the tables into something like PHPmyadmin and loading up the tables that way. Then put the modules code into the /modules directory.

I would also recommend doing these one at a time and testing thoroughly on each one. If you do them all at once you are likely to have any errors compound on themselves and you won't know WTF is going on. Pardon my french.

I know what you mean. In a day or so im gonna do a wipe of one of my servers and do a fresh install then test out all the modules individualy. make sure everything is perfect.

Then wipe the site clean and intagrate a module at a time and test it. This way when i set up a subdomain I just have to do one install.

Remember than if you are carrying data over there are several paths that are stored in the database so you will need to change that.
