  I have posted a "job" on PostnukePro.com, in hopes of obtaining some bids to convert TinyTool into a PN module. The new module would be pnRendered and include an admin interface for the configurable options. A security review would also be appreciated.
  
  For details, please see the listing here:

  I've not heard of TinyTool, but it seems like the "missing link" in PostNuke! How large is the script altogether?

  The word "tiny" in the title of the script is very telling. I am at work at the moment so I don't have immediate access to the files, but if I remember correctly there are 5 files at around 5kb to 25kb each. Maybe more. It's actually a very simple script, I just don't have the know-how at this point to turn it into a PN module, much less implement pnRender on top of that.
  
  I see this as a double-benefit for me... once the conversion is complete, I will have "before" and "after" stages of the project to compare and learn from. The other benefit is being able to actually use the new module.
  
  Anyway, I'll look at the files at home this evening and update you on the exact sizes and number of files.
  
  Thanks!! :)

  Wendell,
  
  Perhaps if you could post the files somewhere for download it would be easier for people to review them and give you an idea of the size of the job.

  Great idea Mark...
  
  Wendell, you're doing Xanthia themes, so you've already got somewhat of a head-start on the pnRender thing... ;) ...a before and after of the script would be a nice asset though for sure!

  I looked at it before - seems to be an interesting script. If it's really so tiny, you may get a very good deal.

  Sort of. Xanthia is basically HTML, knowing the Xanthia tags and where to put them. As far as setting up a module with the appropriate tags and such, I'm clueless. I've thought about trying to tackle it on my own, but the before-and-after situation is more interesting at this time -- I'm thinking it would help me in my quest to eventually build my own modules from the ground up.
  
  Another Doh! I should have pointed out that you can see the script in action on my order page... just be sure not to complete the process or you'll end up with a hosting plan! (unless, of course, you want one) :D

  I have made the TinyTool package available for download on my site:

  The zipped file is a whopping 45k, while the total of all files unzipped is 150k and consists of 7 files. :)

  Hmmm... too ambitious for me. :|
  
  I could really use that functionality in a couple of projects, unfortunately I lack the mojo to git er done...

  I just noticed a commercial hosting module made available on the PN homepage, but I can't for the life of me find a price.

  I thought that was a no-no when posting commercial items?

  I might have a look at it, if I get some free time...
