Cloning the video module

Would this article work for cloning the video module? The purpose is to have separate modules for different types of videos. For example, hiphop, rock, country music. Instead of having them all mixed together.

Yes.  I recommend doing a search without replace first so you can see what it pulls up; that will help guide you in the replace.  Also be sure to search with all caps on some items and use search on whole words and not whole words.  Don't forget to change the name of the files in the /classes directory to match what you are changing things to; as well as in the templates and other files such as icons.

For media modules, it's not quite as simple as renaming things when you want to run multiple instances of essentially the same module.

Oh wait, video module and photo modules are creating albums; and that is going to throw a spanner into the works; and other things as well. HL is correct, not so easy.  Videos and Photos and Sounds share the same tables for the albums; you have the album table that stores the album ID and owner and then you have the album objects table.  Yes, going to be messy.

When you click on videos, it pulls out all the albums for that particular user and shows them; there is nothing to indicate it came from this video module as oppose to that video module; so no matter which video module you clicked on, it would pull out all the video albums.

However, for what you want, that is the purpose of categories.
