Hi.

Congrats for your work.
I was going to develop a "Module Generator" module.
Since I don't have so much time lately, I searched and found Module Builder.

The module I was going to develop was intended to give the developer a GUI useful to create modules (creating the folder and all the needed files and storing them on the server) and edit them continuously on-the-fly (always with the GUI).

Will Module Builder allow to edit module's files on-the-fly?

Thanks.
Giovanni

Module builder won't do that.
There is a drush option to add new hooks to a module, but I think it may have a few bugs and I haven't used it in a while.

Changing a module's code through the UI though would be a huge security risk though.

Mmm.
Drupal core allows modules to be uploaded and enabled through the UI.

Isn't that already a huge security risk?

Thanks for your answer.

True. Provided we take whatever precautions that Core takes, that would be fine. There's the added matter here that you should only be using MB on dev sites anyway :)

This isn't something I've got time to look into, but I'll consider patches :)
