How to write a new FoE module?

nn4l

I would like to write my own FoE module. I checked out the source code from GitHub, installed the directory as a temporary extensions in FireFox which worked just fine. I then thought, if I would duplicate an existing module, add the new module name to js/internal.json and also change all names in the duplicated module source code to the new name, I should get an extra icon in the FoE toolbar, with identical function as the original module.

However, no extra icon was displayed on reloading the modified extension.

Please advise how to write a new module, or point me to a tutorial if it exists.

What I want to accomplish is an information page similar to this one: https://foebattlestats.herokuapp.com/battles/?comment=GEX%204-08

Sobald du eine neue JS Datei eingebunden hast, musst du die Extension in der Extension Übersicht reloaden.
Hast du auch in der _menu.js die Menüpunkt ergänzt?

…das war’s, der Menüpunkt heißt ganz anders als das Modul, deswegen hab ich das mit grep nicht gefunden, danke.

Wenn Dein Modul Massentauglich ist, zeig es mir doch dann bitte mal 😀
