I admit I'm not the best module namer in this community, but I think I've learned a few things from you all. Drupal tries very hard to use descriptive names. A big -1 for VC, VCAPI, RC, RCAPI, etc. I like versioncontrol.module or even better versioncontrolapi. Try avoiding unnecessary underscores in the name, because these lead to potential confusion with hooks. I don't think there's any concern about the name length, the module field in the system table is 255 characters. If you're concerned about typing 15 or 18 characters instead of 5, I suggest you use your editors word-replace functionality :) Doug Green 904-583-3342 www.douggreenconsulting.com Bringing Ideas to Life with Software Artistry and Invention...

Long enough to not be quite so confusing but not as long as writing it all out. Michelle On 6/8/2007 9:04:18 PM, Rob Barreca (rob@electronicinsight.com) wrote:
I like Version Control API, and think a module named versioncontrol.module is fine. Sure it's a bit more code, but IMO it's better to err on the side of being too explicit, than having people scratch their heads seeing vc.module.
