1. go into the system/modules/whatevercategory and edit the config to add the module into the array
example:
/system/modules/miscellaneous/config.php
add
'contact_form' => array
(
'display_name' => 'Contact Form',
'script' => 'contact_form.php',
'type' => 'user',
'access_type' => array('user'),
),
2. Now in the system/user-scripts directory add the php file to do the work
example:
system/users-cripts
create and add contact_us.php with the code for processing
3. Now in templates add the template: probably best to copy one and modify it.
example:
create and add templates/_system/miscellaneous/contact_form.tpl
email_control.tpl ->copied from contactus
email_control.php ->copied from contactus
EmialControlForm.php ->copied from contactus
AdminNotifications.php -> added function for notification
admin_email_control_form_message.tpl -> copied from the contactus template
ObjectMother.php -> added CreateTemplate function
The help above is just my notes while creating a module to send admin all the user information when users register. Employers and Job Seekers.
