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
Or you could skip all that and have a simple text file in the module directory that is parseable.
Right. But as I said this is an evil hack.
I don't believe there's a single good reason to have all the modules loaded just to get their descriptions.
I fully agree. The problem with that approach seems to be that once you say something like this, people also want a dependency system and fully automatic database installs. While I agree that these things would be nice to have, it would make more sense to start simple... Cheers, Gerhard
