26.3.2. How to install modules that change the database structure

These modules, although they will not change any original PHP-Nuke files, they will require a change in the PHP-Nuke database. The required change in the database may be of two types:

1. Some tables are appended to the database, but without changing any of the existing ones.

2. The original PHP-Nuke tables must be changed.

The installation of these modules consists in the copying of their files into the appropriate folders (see Section 26.3.1 for the details, remember that they don't overwrite or change any original PHP-Nuke file) and the import of a .sql file (using phpMyAdmin, as shown in Section 3.4.2, or the command line as in Section 3.2.4), or the opening of some install.php file through the browser that will make the database changes automatically.
