DT mentioned some good points.
When I do a MOD ( at least a complicated one ) I just copy the server files to my hard drive -- or at least the nph-build and site_html_templates -- those are the one that get most of the changes...I did set up a test site but don't really use it....that's better for the progammers who are creating MODs...us cut and paste folks don't do that much that can't be undone pretty easily....you and I are excellant examples of uninstalling MODs...
and remember to document the MOD, e.g.,
# Prevent Category MOD ESM. 11-07-00
I also print each one out and put it in it's one folder folder. I put a brief listing of what files were changed/added, what routines where changed/added, and any additional instructions/claifications that were needed. A couple of MODs had corrections/clarification in messages in this forum that never found there way into author's instruction.
