GOSH, I wish this was in the dev stuff somewhere.  I looked all night.  Would've saved me a ton of work.
Ok, well thats fine.  Then its as mature as I can make it.  I'll clean the code a bit tomorrow and call that that
Thanks Ian.

I'm having a heck of a time updating a record in the jos__moduels database. I want to look for mod_quickicon and set its published status to false and then after my module has installed set its status to published. and its position to icon. Everything I've tried so far hasn't worked.  I don't unders...

thats fine.  I'm needing a brain break anyway.  I've attached a zip with my work so far.  Everything installs, but I have the following issues. Cannot put new images into the existing "/administrator/images" folder during install.  It only wants to make a sub folder under administrator/mod...

:'( I'm running myself in circles.  I've followed the hello world example and the one thing it leaves out is what to do with images that you need to place. How does it know where to put them.  I ASSUME you must tell it to put them using the directive followed by the path/filename then but thats just...

I was wondering what was going on!  Why remove something that had so much information??? PUT IT BACK PLEASE!  This kind of stuff is why I decided on Joomla in the first place.  I didn't want to put up with bickering.
