I have written a updated version of the old NEWMODULE template code. It has a folder for lang files as well as a install.xml file to make use of the XMLDB editor.

sorry by the delay (I promised to take a look to this yesterday), but last days I'm very busy, helping to polish 1.8 before release and that's priority #1 (although I've present that this task is #1.001).

I'll take it ASAP! Thanks for your patience!

Hi,

finally I've added the new NEWMODULE to CVS (HEAD only). Thanks for your job, Chris!

So I'm going to close this now. I've added the NEWMODULE itself as a contrib module in the tracker and added this task there: CONTRIB-52. Feel free to get subscribed there and/or to comment anything about it.

Thanks and ciao
