How to use

After installing the extension, clear the cache and disable the compilation.
Then go to the backend at System->Module Creator and you will see an usual grid.
Clicking on the Create new module button will bring you to the add/edit form.
Fill in the fields, add as many entities as you need, add as many fields/attributes per entity as you need and hit save.

If there is an error you will see it at the top of the page. The page won't be refreshed and you won't lose the data you entered.

You can later edit the extension by clicking on the Edit link in the extension grid.
If you already installed the extension you created with the module creator and you modify it, you will need to uninstall it in order to install the new version. See the created extensions section for more details.

You can install the created extensions in 2 ways.

• By selecting Install new extension on current instance. Even if this works I don't recommend it. If you choose this option, there is a failsafe. If UMC should write a file that already exists, it will not override this. Instead it will change the action automatically to Create an archive. I will install it later and create a zip in the var/modulecreator folder. That you can....see next option.
• By selecting Create an archive. I will install it later. If you choose this, a zip with all the files and folders of the module will be created in var/modulecreator. Unzip it and copy the folders over your magento instance.
