Summary

Building a new module requires building on top of existing code in the CSK, so a good understanding of the CSK architecture is in order. By following the steps we outlined in the beginning of this chapter and following the patterns set forth by the existing modules, you can build a new module with the ability to search and rate the module content. It will also have all of the other cross-cutting functionality built into the CSK.

In the next chapter, we will build a little more onto the FAQ module and take a look at other forms of customization in the CSK. Although building a new module requires a bit of code and time, the end result is a seamlessly integrated feature with the full support of the CSK comments, ratings, view counts, and more.
