News: Libraries used

I've just been examining some of the very good code used in News - but I was puzzled over something?

Unless I'm wrong - it looks like a version of Wideimage 1.0 is used - which we also use as a core library (so obviously it could be made lighter by using the core Library).

However I believe the module may use a 1.0 branch - where as the 1.2 Core uses the recently updated: 09.09.04

Anyone able to assist in the changes from the internal version to the core version?

Some details are given here:

I am updating my svn copy - I definitely do not have a lot of time but I couldn't imagine this being difficult to swap over to core libraries - just modifying the paths.

(This will make the module very small as all of its size comes from these libraries.)

Yes - all of the stuff done for X2.3+ needs to be fixed before any of this can happen... removing the pdf and fpdf libraries from the module is a must...

once this is done the module will be less that 2Mbs!!! wowzers.

FYI - Current size of News module: ~22Mbs

Re: News: Libraries used

do I detect a hint of undiluted shock?

22 Mb for a web module? That means the base system wasn't used for anything.
