My Module does not show up in Module List

[vmops]

I created a custom module by following instructions from the Module Dev Kit. Essentially, I created my module "modulename" and put it as follows modules/servers/modulename/modulename.php

 

Question is I do not see this new "modulename" in the dropdown for list of modules. What am I missing? If there another config/property that I need to modify elsewhere?

Are you using the sample server mod code or the addon mod code ? There is a difference.

The sample server mod code

well unless you post your code no one can tell what you did wrong or missed. If you don't want to have it public you can make a support ticket and have Matt look and help you out.

Here is what I have done so far:

1. create a new directory "vmops" under "/var/www/whmcs/modules/servers/" with 755 perms

2. cp the example template.php into the above folder. rename it to vmops.php and replace all instances of "template_" with "vmops_" in this file

 

In the above, template.php is what comes in the zip file that you can get here: http://www.whmcs.com/members/dl.php?type=d&id=14

 

I guess my question is more related to missing information. Question being, once I do what I have done in steps 1 and 2, is there a documented way of testing the new module? Note: I have not yet gone as far as putting actual code where it says "# Code to perform action goes here..." in the sample file

 

Should I expect a new module "vmops" to show up in the list of values for modules? I am not trying to build the module myself and not a PHP expert. I am just looking into establishing a basic handshake between WHMCS and an external system as a POC.

 

Help much appreciated. If you still need the actual code of vmops.php to help answer, please let me know.

 

Thanks a lot!
