Magento 1 – How to Export Extension

exportmodule

I have some extensions installed and developed in my Magento store. I see their settings in /app/etc/modules files, but i would like to export one of them so i could implement it on other website. Is it possible to export module/extension from Magento?

To copy a module from on server to another all you need to do is copy over the files, see Magento - Wiki - Magento folder structure for location of the files

There are "no real" module custom setting in app/etc/modules/Example_Module.xml, this mainly enable, disable and set the code pool for your module. See Magento - Wiki - Customize Parts Of Magento Configuration

Your module custom config (if any) are normally define in system.xml in your module etc folder, which is accessible from magento admin -> system -> config -> your module tab. This data is store in core_config_data table in your database.

I reckon you need to respect the case, for example in your app/etc/modules XML file you should replace:

<mgs_auction />

With:

<Mgs_Auction />

On top of that your block is not properly placed and declared.

Indeed you declared your module as Mynamespace_Mymodulename but your block is declared under app/code/local/Mynamespace/Auction/Block/Auction.php whereas it should be app/code/local/Mynamespace/Mymodulename/Block/Auction.php

On top of that ensure your module is in the app/code/local/Mynamespace/Mymodulename folder and change the following in your config.xml :

  <global>
    <blocks>
        <auction>
          <rewrite>
            <auction>Mynamespace_Auction_Block_Auction</auction>
          </rewrite>
        </auction>
    </blocks>
  </global>

With:

  <global>
    <blocks>
        <auction>
          <rewrite>
            <auction>Mynamespace_Mymodulename_Block_Auction</auction>
          </rewrite>
        </auction>
    </blocks>
  </global>
