Hi Simon,

edit file mod1/conf.php
uncomment the line
$MCONF["script"]=index.php

now you have a dummy module

notice the name NAMEofMAINMODULE from
$MCONF["name"]="NAMEofMAINMODULE";

edit
mod1/conf.php of 'submodule'
change
$MCONF["name"]= "NAMEOFSUBMODULE";
to
$MCONF["name"]= "NAMEofMAINMODULE_NAMEOFSUBMODULE";

thats it!

just an advice:
edit file ext_emconf.php
of your submodule and set
dependencies=name_of_mainmodule_extension

for access for non-admins set
$MCONF["access"]="user,group";
in both modules

beware: user must have both modules (main and sub) in web_mosdules



hth

greetings Markus
