When submitting a new module, you may encounter an error message that says: "Your .zip name is already used in another module."
Why does this error occur?
This error occurs because the technical name you chose for your module's .zip file is not unique.
A module's technical name is crucial for its identification within the platform ecosystem. This means that once a technical name is used, it cannot be reused for another module, whether the original module still exists or not.
What you need to do
To resolve this issue, you need to choose a different name for your .zip file. This new name must be unique and follow certain guidelines:
- Lowercase alphanumeric characters: The technical name can only contain lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9).
- Avoid using underscores: While underscores are technically allowed, they are not recommended as they can cause issues with translation domains within the platform. It is best to choose names that do not include underscores to ensure better functioning across different parts of the platform.
