Hi,
In order to comply with the latest Postnuke standards, I'm trying to figure out which is the best way to format URLs in new modules. Of course I also want the URLs to be compatible with the short-URL features of Xanthia.
From looking around different modules, I see examples like:
index.php?name=MODNAME
index.php?module=MODNAME
modules.php?op=modload&name=MODNAME
Which is the correct one going forward? I'm guessing that it's the first one, but I would like to make sure.
Thanks,
Grant

Depends on the modue....
index.php?module=MODAME is for API compliant modules (type 2 in the modules table).
The remaining two are for non API compliant modules (type 1 in the DB). Both index.php?name=MODNAME and modules.php?op=modload&name=MODNAME are actually the same thing (.750+) since any call to modules.php is handed directly onto index.php and index.php sets a default of 'modload' for 'op' if it's not present. So it's best to use index.php?name=MODNAME since it's shorter....
