  Hello..
  
  I know that it has been alot of threads about how to make a own module, and I have read most of them.. And I have watched the documentation but still, I dont really understand how to do it. The pnRender makes my mind sick, I have no clue how to handle it. Can anybody help me, give som hints, post some really relevant documentation (I have read the Wiki like 10 times, so that isn't needed).
  
  Thank you!:)

  You should start with your programing background.. what is it?
  
  I see you only registered today, how familiar are you with PN?
  
  What do you want the module to do?
  
  Compare the different modules out there, see how they function...
  
  And of course just start somewhere... a module doesnt need pnrender to work.. so worry about that last.

  Thanks for answering. I am not familiar with PN, and I my programing background is nothing to cheer about. I know some basic PHP, and a little bit more c++. I have made my script work without PN, and the script is like a trivia with some questions and you click some radiobuttons and see how many correct answers you got. It all uses a mysql database. But its no complicated stuff, I just want it on my PN page, and I want admins to be able to add more questions etc:)

  Well the best advice, I can give is start with the example module. And start making changes to other modules to understand the functionality. Never made my own module, but have modified plenty at one time or another.. sometimes it is easy.. sometimes not.
  
  Anyway good luck.

  Okay! Is there not any other way I can publish it without using these complicated modules?;/

  I really think its weird..:>
  
  Anyways, question:
  If I put up some files and name them like pnuser.php, index.php etc but DON'T have any function named "main" it complains about it, and if i use the main function I can not echo from there, only return. Since I have many things to return it doesn't work for me because I can't return specefic things in like a whileloop..
  
  So how come that like the News module, that don't need the main function to work, and more than that he can also echo. I even tried to copy the whole News sourcecode, but was not able to do it even with that?
  
  I apologize for bad spelling and grammar. Thank you
