Help with Custom Module Topic is solved

[Phil91]

Hi,
I'm having trouble creating a simple module. Currently using Joomla 5.2.2, I started off by cloning a module I wrote last year for Joomla 4.0 at the time and which does work well.
The thing is, this new module does not display anything, just like if the entry point had no effect. So, I replaced everything with the classic mod_foo content and, yet, nothing happens.
The module is activated, everything looks "normal" to me but just the title gets displayed. Is Joomla 5.2 so different or am I making a mistake anywhere?

Here's my module xml file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="module" version="4.0" client="site" method="upgrade">
    <name>Sales by category</name>
    <author>Me</author>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <description>Sales by category</description>
    <files>
        <filename module="mod_sales_by_category">mod_sales_by_category.php</filename>
        <folder>tmpl</folder>
        <filename>mod_sales_by_category.xml</filename>
    </files>
</extension>

My main entry point looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
 * @package    [PACKAGE_NAME]
 *
 * @author     [AUTHOR] <[AUTHOR_EMAIL]>
 * @copyright  [COPYRIGHT]
 * @license    GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
 * @link       [AUTHOR_URL]
 */

// No direct access to this file
defined('_JEXEC') or die;

use Joomla\CMS\Helper\ModuleHelper;

require ModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_sales_by_category', $params->get('layout', 'default'));

and my default.php file is:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
 * @package    [PACKAGE_NAME]
 *
 * @author     [AUTHOR] <[AUTHOR_EMAIL]>
 * @copyright  [COPYRIGHT]
 * @license    GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
 * @link       [AUTHOR_URL]
 */

// No direct access to this file
defined('_JEXEC') or die;

echo 'I won!';

Since I'm not an in-depth Joomla guru, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thx

Works for me™

Should also add that turning errors to Max has no effect and I can't see any msg in the logfiles

Found what it "seems to be"...
Being French, I used an accent in the module name and that does not seem to be a good idea....
Renamed it to "english-only" and it works.
Why is that? No idea!
