Hi

Is there a way to request for files to be shared by modules. Like user-1 has some files in an entry of module A. User-2 wants to see under module B certain files from module A entry that user-1 has created. Please give some suggestions as to how to go about it.

Thanks.

The question is very broad so im not sure where you want the answer to start from.

To learn how to create a module perhaps start here:

"Creating a Module"
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/26/creating-a-module

Then once you have a module you need a 'view' to cover the "User-2 wants to see " part of it.

In that view function you can write queries against any other modules datastore to get the information that you want.

If its required, then add that as a requirement to the modules _meta() function.

eg:(you can see that the jrChainedSelect module requires jrCore 5.1.36 or above to work.)
 */
function jrChainedSelect_meta(){
    $_tmp = array(
        'name'        => 'Chained Select',
        'url'         => 'chained_select',
        'version'     => '1.1.0',
        'developer'   => 'The Jamroom Network, ©' . strftime('%Y'),
        'description' => 'Manage chained_select field options and choices',
        'category'    => 'forms',
        'license'     => 'mpl',
        'requires'    => 'jrCore:5.1.36'
    );
    return $_tmp;
}
