We started work today on a custom module for Copper Project. Copper Project is a PHP/MySQL project/client/employee management web application. The code is written in a manner that would suggest that the creators intended to allow users to write custom modules.

After spending all day today trying to find basic parts of the code, I have come to the realization that either the creators don't want it to be easy to make a module, or they want it to be impossible. I have written modules before for web applications such as osCommerce, phpBB, phpNuke, and e107. All of these web application are PHP/MySQL driven like Copper Project, but offer a much simpler code base to work with. The main difference between them and Copper Project is the fact that Copper Project Corporate Edition costs $1000 and the others cost nothing.

I should have a tutorial and download for the new module done by next month and will post it all here so keep checking back.

Copper would get a massive boost to sales if they had more developers working on add-ons, either internal or just programmers like you or me. I've been meaning to take a crack at module - am interested in reading about your experiences.
