If uieform is not installed in the main drupal module folder, it generates lots of file not found errors.

General advice for drupal 5.1 seems to be to install non core modules

in the folder sites/all/modules rather than in the main modules folder

if you do this for current dev version of uieforum then lots of graphics are logged as not found in the logs as well as all the smileys are missing and the text formatting facilities

move the folder to the main drupal folder and run update.php and everything seems to be ok

Alternatively in the configure tab/paths area of UIEForum, add sites/all/ before 'modules/...' for
"Forum icon path:", "Forum Smilies path:" and "Forum Text Formatting path:"

Since this looks like it was by design, lets just set it to by design?

Really sites/all is for multi-site hosting though, isn't it?

Yeah sites/all is multi site hosting. And its more the exception than the rule. All image paths can be configured in the settings page for the module so there shouldn't be much work involved in getting this to work :)

Please see http://drupal.org/node/70151 and note the contents of step 3 with particular regard to drupal 5 and later

which is as follows

Upload the folder. FTP your files to the desired modules folder in your Drupal installation. Since the /modules/ folder is typically reserved for Drupal core modules, as of version 5.x you should create a sites/all/modules/ directory and put uploaded modules there. This will also make it easier to update your Drupal site later on. For version 4.7 and below, put contributed modules into /sites/example.com/modules/ (multi-site setup) or /sites/default/modules/ (single site setup)

Whilst the uieforum has the necessary fields to allow it to be configured, surely it would be better if it worked it out itself where it had been installed into

Funnily enough, I've never seen that page - all modules I install go in the "modules" directory.
