Re: [webmin-devel] html templates ok?

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

Don't auto-download anything.  Do what Jamie has done in the LDAP 
module, for example...Check for the module, and if it doesn't exist, 
allow the user to use the Perl Modules module to install it.  You don't 
need to reinvent the wheel in this case.  Jamie's already rolls quite 
nicely.

I'll also mention that Jamie has started a simple set of GUI routines in 
web-lib.  One can hope that they will soon provide simple calls for the 
most common GUI elements and you won't need to use separate modules, and 
theme designers can replace the functions on an as-needed basis to 
modify GUI elements.
