Hi there! There are quite a few people who'd like to run a lot of Drupal modules and have problems on admin/modules when they hit the php memory limit. Moshe pointed out that this has changed/ will change with the install files, but I needed something quick and dirty now. Attached is a patch that will make Drupal 1) read the module files 2) looking for help, init, exit hooks 3) write these hooks to a file 4) include that file 5) delete the file for all modules found. The patch makes a few assumptions about how a module file looks like (namely coding conventions). A few contrib modules do not respect these or they do call some other functions from their help hooks. These are: adsense contextlinks cursor g2 smartypants textile xstatic (all taken from contrib HEAD). I am surprised that the list is so short. The patch isn't proposed to be included in Drupal, also people who don't know PHP should not use it. I will not support it. It is intended to be run in development setups where you might want to test a lot of modules. Cheers, Gerhard
