Topic: copy extension under new name

Hi i want to copy an extension under a new name and use that customized.
I tried just copying the folder and renaming it , but that does not work.
This extension needs to be activated before it can be used , so i want to install it just like that
Activate it under a new name and do customization in it.
any help or steps please

Re: copy extension under new name

Install the extension needed and make changes in the modules files - no need to install anything. Only if you need to have the original extension also working together with the new one, do you need to copy it to another name and make entries for it in the installed_extensions.php file for it.
