Modules, wtd ?
--------------

Modules are addons which are not automagically build into the
foo-pre binary.  It is done like this because the modules provides
some not-so-general functions which are not needed by everyone. Eg.
if you never pre mp3 files, maybe you are not interested in foo-pre
scanning each release for mp3-ids.

Take a look at the README.* files in the modules/ dir for information.

Currently the following modules are available:

+ mod_idmp3 - this module adds an PRE-MP3INFO logtarget to glftpd.log
  which contains information about the mp3 release from the mp3id.
+ mod_sitenfoadd - this module will enable you to get an <my-sitename>.nfo
  added to each dir of the pred release. The nfo can even be put to
  contain eg. the releasename.
+ mod_nfohandler - this module will enable a logtarget PRE-NFO with
  information extracted from the .nfo of the release.

To enable the modules, you must first build them, and then copy the
modulename.so file to somewhere in /glftpd, preferably in /bin/premodules,
but its not a requirement. When this is done, you can enable it in
pre.cfg by adding it to the modules list. Eg. your module list could look
like this:

modules=/bin/premodules/mod_idmp3.so|/bin/premodules/mod_sitenfoadd.so

Apart from this, each module requires some module-specific configuration
to pre.cfg, which you can read about in the README files in modules/.


Enjoy, and dont hesitate to ask questions if you have trouble ;-).
