'Extract' module from live site ?

[vincentdenkspel]

Someone created a module for me and installed it on my site. I don't have a copy except the installed one. Is it possible to somehow 'extract' a copy from the live site so I can install it on a test site ? Thanks

You should be able to use ftp to download the module folder and move to the test folder. it will then appear in the test site modules list ready to install

@haylau and if the module creates some database tables? will they also be created once I moved a copy through ftp ?

Sure, the module itself contains installation procedure

Yes, although if the module has any existing data in the main site, that will not be transferred across. If you do need existing data you will need to export/ import the table after installation
