- Description
On tiki-admin_modules.php, the "Add module" button should link to the first tab "Edit module", not "Custom modules", because in most cases an existing module will be assigned, not a new custom one created. (The Edit module tab content contains the heading "Assign new module", which reflects that process.)
- So the "Add module" button link should be tiki-admin_modules.php?edit_assign=0&cookietab=1, not tiki-admin_modules.php?edit_assign=0&cookietab=2.
- Thinking about it more, it seems like the first tab label should be "Configure new module", not "Edit module", to better reflect the content of the tab. Modules are edited after being assigned, from their actions link, not in this tab, or else are edited as custom modules, but again not here.
- The "Assign new module" heading in the first tab content can then be removed, as it would be redundant.
I believe the button link issue is a regression but I don't know when it happened offhand.
Another thing, after selecting the module to assign, the page refreshes to an "Edit module" tab and there's a heading "Edit this assigned module: login_box". This is a smaller issue, maybe, but this heading is incorrect because the module is not yet assigned, which might confuse new users. To be accurate, it should be "Edit module: login_box".
