Does copying of modules not working in PW3?

[Juergen]

Hello @ all,

today I have tried to copy a module from the core (fieldtype comments) to the site modules folder as described in this article: https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-core-updates-2.5.14/#multiple-copies-of-the-same-module

I use the latest devs and the module was not found after clicking the refresh button. Is this function not available in PW3?

Best regards

We are using this function on PW3. However, when copying a module to the /site/modules/ folder there is no option to select which module you want to use. When placed in /site/modules/ the module appears in the Site tab. We've used it for example on the FieldtypeComments.

Notice the filepath.

For me too! The module is now also there, but no choice to select which version should be used. I have tested it and it seems that if the same module is available in the site/module folder it grabs this version automatically and ignores the one from the wire folder.
I have added a slight markup change in the copy and it will be rendered on the frontend.

I dont know if this is a bug or the usual behaviour in PW 3.

Best regards

I'd certainly consider it a bug. I've fixed the same thing in I think 2.6 some time ago.

I have added this issue to Github.
