如何克隆Joomla模块？

Question

I am creating a website with Sobi2 and a sobi2 clone called Marketplace for two different types of listings. In the Sobi2 listing pages I am using a Sobi2 category module for displaying the categories. Now I need to display the market place categories in the marketplace listing pages. So I am planning to clone the module. Please let me know what all changes I need to make to display the cloned module in module manager. I mean which all database tabled I need to alter.

Regards, Alwin

You won't be editing the database. You'll probably be doing a search and replace for s/Sobi2/Marketplace/g within the module code, zipping that up, and installing that as a separate module. You'll also need to change the name (mod_XXX) so it's unique.
