with that being said - i am going to detail my walkthrough on how to create a module in cheetah - for those who didnt know already. a few key points to always remember. this is not a creation of a brand new module - but cloning the groups module for your needs. i have done a lot of different things using the groups module as a base. second - EVERYTHING IS CASE SENSITIVE. if you screw that up - just start over.
 
1 - create a folder in the modules folder and name it whatever you want - for our example, lets call it 'example'. so create a folder named example.
2 - copy the groups module folder and all its contents into your example folder. so at this point, you should have a folder named example, with the groups folder and all its contents in it.
3 - rename the groups folder to whatever you want to call the module - so for our example, we will call it 'newbie'. so now, you should have a folder called example, with a folder called newbies inside of it (the "s" is important here so make sure it is there). also - you gotta choose a two character identifier. for this example, we will use "NM". we will use this later.
4 - open the newbie folder, then open the templates folder, then open the base folder
5 - rename the following files according to your module name
     latest_featured_group.html >>>>> latest_featured_newbie.html
     my_groups_create_group.html >>>>> my_newbies_create_newbie.html 
     my_groups_main.html &... Read more
