Will updates override edited page links?
I renamed Spaces mod to "Communities" and wonder, wether future updates will change site-links to its default names, when I change them in pages settings. For example, will my site link "page/communities-home" replaced by its standard site-link "page/spaces-home" while updating to a future version?

I believe only core files changes will be affected if there is file you modify.
-
I renamed "Groups" to "Tribes" and after 2 updates the changes are untouched.
For me, it also kept the changes after creating a fresh install on a new server with new hosting. If you migrate, make sure you are moving files from the HTML folder to the correct directories to ensure no data loss.
You shouldn't have any issues with names reverting as long as you aren't changing / moving core files

Thank you, @Expertzkris and @RJ Arsenault for answering my question!

A tiny reminder, try to jot down every name change you make, so you don't get confused later on what is what.

How do you rename an entire mod so the site links also change?

Hi all!
Commonly, all answered persons are right. The power of community mastermind 🤗 If you copy the standard Boonex module folder, place it to own directory like modules/vendor_name/app_name and replace all old keywords in the config.php and install.sql from install dir then your app will be "disconnect" from the parent module and its upgrades forever.

Thank you, @LeonidS , that is the proper way how to do it. Should also answer your question, @Karina Budhrani . One further question, Leonid: When copying the whole module, where do I modify the new module's icon?
-
The problem with your solution @LeonidS is, that my new module would not be connected to any additional modules, like Points System mod, right?

If you take the app from BoonEx it will keep the dependencies for Timeline and Notifications. But for non-Boonex mod it is better to ask from the vendors.
