Hi guys. I'm playing with the Web_Links module out of CVS and I have a question about overall philosophy of module development. I noticed that the module uses pnRender to output all HTML, which is fine for my purposes. But, are we, going forward, assuming that everyone has pnRender enabled? Is it becoming a required core module? Or should I accomodate those who don't have it by using the old pnHTML object when pnRender isn't available? I just kind of wanted to know where everyone else is on this before I dig in and get serious about this little project.
Thanks in advance!

It is part of the core for .750 and above. pnHTML is now depreciated.
For the ease of your users, you should use pnRender for output.

I am problably right in saying that if you want categories in web links, you also need the categories hook module from CVS as well.

Perhaps. Is that how you're planning on handling categories? That functionality is self-contained in the old module. For my immediate purposes, just having everything drop into cat 0 is fine, so I wasn't going to dig into the category functionality until I finish the project I'm working on right now. I'm actually developing a module that works with the Web_Links module, so I'm not actively working on the Web_Links module itself. I'm just studying it to make sure that whatever I do now is going to be good when 0.8 comes out. But, if you'd like me to dig in a little bit on the Web_Links module, I'll be glad to. I've been leeching off the community for long enough. It's about time I give something back.
